PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or
radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the
cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where
anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The
required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
Use the specified adaptor (page 3) only. Using the wrong adaptor
can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust
which may have accumulated on it.
• This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt
to disassemble or modify the internal components in any way. If it
should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately
and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or
wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which
might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into
the instrument, turn off the power immediately and unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the
power switch and disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. Then
have the device inspected by Yamaha service personnel.
• The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.
• It emits unusual smells or smoke.
• Some object has been dropped into the instrument.
• There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a
multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or
possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet,
always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can
damage it.
Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not
to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are
using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs,
immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from
the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is
still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not
using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power
cord from the wall AC outlet.
• Use only the rack specified for the instrument. When attaching the
stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could
cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument
falling over.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components,
turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on
or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum.
• Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum
levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the
instrument to set the desired listening level.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the
instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches
or connectors.
Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of
time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause
permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or
ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

DTX500 Owner’s Manual
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using
the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of damage to the product, data or other property, follow the notices below.
Handling and Maintenance
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the
instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car
during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
Saving data
• Never attempt to turn off the power while data is being written to Flash ROM (while a “now storing...” message is shown). Turning the
power off in this state results in loss of all user data and may cause the system to freeze (due to corruption of data in the Flash ROM). This
means that this instrument may not be able to start up properly, even when turning the power on next time.

DTX500 Owner’s Manual
The DTX500 is equipped with a high-quality 32-polyphony tone generator that produces realistic
voices, includes a high-performance, multi-function metronome, a built-in sequencer and a vari-
ety of songs—all combined into a compact, portable package. The DTX500 is an exceptionally
versatile instrument that can be used in a variety of situations such as live performance, per-
sonal practice, and much more.
Drum Triggers
The DTX500 drum trigger module is compatible with the new pads (XP series.)
Built into the unit are twelve trigger input jacks and a hi-hat controller jack. The instrument also features jacks that are
compatible with two-zone or three-zone pads (pads that transmit different signals depending on the area that is hit).
Moreover, the snare drum jack is compatible with pad-controller-equipped pads. This lets you adjust the ‘virtual’
snares and the tuning—just as you would with an acoustic snare drum. All in all, the DTX500 has the operability, func-
tionality and performance that is virtually equivalent to an acoustic drum kit.
•You can connect the DTX500 to an acoustic drum kit by using drum triggers such as Yamaha DT20. The setup data
such as the trigger input types and sensitivity can be customized to suit your playing preferences, style and particular
setup.
Also included in the unit are 50 preset drum kits which naturally contain acoustic drum kits, and cover a wide range of
music genres, such as rock, funk, jazz, reggae, Latin, etc. Moreover, User kit memory is available for storing 20 sets.
With this, you can set up your own original drum kits using the various drum voices.
* The word “trigger” refers to the means by which hitting a pad sends a signal to the DTX500 as to what sound to play on the built-in
tone generator and how loud the sound should be played.
Tone Generator
The DTX500 is equipped with a high-quality, 16-bit AWM2 (PCM) tone generator with 32-voice polyphony that pro-
duces dynamic voices or exceptional realism. The voices—totalling 427—cover a wide range sounds, such as authen-
tic acoustic drums, unique electronic percussion, sound effects, and much more. The instrument also features a built-in
high-quality digital reverb for enhancing the sound.
High-performance Metronome
The DTX500 provides with a comprehensive, multi-function metronome, allowing various click settings for each note
value. Each note value can be assigned its own separate click sound and pitch. You can also set a timer that will deter-
mine when the click stops and set breaks which how many measures the click will play and then be muted.
The DTX500 also features a “Tap” function that lets you set the tempo for the song or click by tapping in tempo on a
pad to any tempo you like. This lets you set whatever tempo you desire for playing or practicing.
Sequencer
The built-in sequencer contains a wide variety of 63 preset songs. Two functions that make the DTX500 great for prac-
tice are the Drum Mute Function, which mutes a specific drum part, and the Bass Solo function, which lets you play
along with just the song’s bass part. The DTX500 also allows you to record your performance in real time—and allows
you to play along with your recorded performance data.
In addition to one main song that is controlled from the panel, three pad songs can be individually controlled and
simultaneously played by trigger input from the pads.
Groove Check
The Groove Check function monitors your playing and provides instant feedback on your rhythmic skills, providing a
powerful way to quickly improve your technique. It includes a Rhythm Gate function that produces sounds only if
your timing is accurate, and also has a Challenge mode that evaluates your playing, giving you a letter grade—and
makes mastering the drums easier and more fun than ever before.
Interface
•A MIDI OUT jack on the rear panel lets you connect other devices and play sounds from an external tone generator or
synchronize the metronome with an external sequencer. Also provided are an AUX IN jack, which lets you plug in and
play along with an external audio device, such as a CD player or MD player, and a headphones jack for convenient
practice without disturbing others.

1 Connections
In this chapter, you’ll learn how to set up the DTX500. Read these instructions carefully and in
the following order to ensure that the instrument sounds and operates properly:
1 Connecting the Pads 2 Setting Up the Power Supply (p. 10) 3 Connecting to Speakers or Head-
phones (p. 10) 4 Turning the Power On (p. 11) 5 Selecting the Trigger Setup (p. 12)
1 Connecting the Pads
Referring to the illustration below, connect the output cable from
each pad to each Trigger Input jack located on the rear panel of
the DTX500. For details, see the Assembly Manual that comes
with the drum set you are using.
The DTX500 can be played from an acoustic drum kit if the kit is
fitted with an optional set of drum triggers (such as Yamaha DT20
Drum Triggers) and the triggers are properly connected to the
input jacks of the DTX500.
2 Setting Up the Power Supply
A special power source adaptor supplies power to the DTX500.
2-1. Make sure that the Standby/On Switch of the DTX500 is
set to the standby (?) position.
2-2. Connect the DC plug of the included AC power adaptor to
the DC IN terminal on the rear panel.
To prevent the cord from being unplugged accidentally,
wrap the cord around the cable clip and secure it.
2-3. Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC outlet.
3 Connecting to Speakers or
Headphones
Since the DTX500 has no built-in speakers, you’ll need an exter-
nal audio system or a set of stereo headphones to properly moni-
tor it.
!! IMPORTANT !!
You’ll need to change the Trigger Settings of the DTX500 according to the type of drum set you are using. If the
setting is not appropriate, problems may occur—such as improper sound, or inappropriate volume balance
among the pads.
Refer to the “Selecting the Trigger Setup” section on page 12 on how to select the appropriate setup.
•To prevent electric shock and damage to the devices,
make sure the power is switched OFF on the DTX500 and
all related devices before making any connections to the
DTX500’s input and output jacks.
Setting up with Acoustic Drums
CAUTION
Make sure that the power adaptor’s cord is not bent at an
extreme angle when wrapping the cord around the clip.
Doing this can damage or sever the cord and create a fire
hazard.
Please use the specified AC power adaptor. The use of
any other adaptors may cause irregular operation or
damage to the device.
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the DTX500.
The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the
DTX500.

About MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Inter-
face) is a worldwide standard that enables
you to connect instruments and comput-
ers—of different manufacturers and differ-
ent types—and transmit performance and
other data among them.
* Also, use a MIDI cable that is not more than 15 meters in
length. Using a longer cable may result in irregular operation
and other problems.

If you want to replace some of the pads from your drum set, or if
you need to solve any crosstalk problems, the operation “Trigger
Setup Edit” on page 34 describes how to make a detailed setting
for each pad after the above setting is done. If you have created a
setup for these reasons, that setup can be saved to one of the Trig-
ger Setup locations (8-11).
NOTE
About Connecting Pads
The DTX500’s input jack parameters are preset with settings
suitable for pads when an appropriate Trigger Setup is
selected. If you intend to connect any other type of pad or a
drum trigger (Yamaha DT20, etc.) to the input jack, that
jack’s parameters (sensitivity, etc.) should be changed to set-
tings that suit the particular pad. Pad sensitivity is set in the
Trigger Setup Select display’s Page 3 [TRG3 Gain] setting
(p. 36).
•Pad-controller-equipped pads like the XP100SD, TP100,
etc., can be connected to Trigger Input jack 1SNARE.
Three-zone pads like the TP65S, PCY155/150S, PCY135/
130SC, etc., can be connected to Trigger Input jacks
5RIDE and 6CRASH.
7HI HAT is a stereo input type jack. Pads equipped with
trigger switches like the TP65S, PCY65S, PCY130S, etc.
can be connected to this jack.
The 2TOM1/ 0, 3TOM2/ !, 4TOM3/ @ jacks corre-
spond to a two-trigger input that uses a stereo jack for L and
R. A Y-shaped cable (stereo plug—mono jack x 2) can be
used to input two trigger signals.
The 8KICK/ 9 jack accepts a two-trigger input using a
stereo cable and jack for L and R signals. A Y-shaped cable
(stereo plug—mono jack x 2) can be used to input two trig-
ger signals.
Also, if the KP125W/125/65 kick pad is connected to the
DTX500’s input jack 9 with a stereo cable, the external pad
input jack on the KP125W/125/65 can be used as the input
for Input jack 9.
In addition to the 8KICK/

along with them—they are effective tools that help you learn how to drum and master drumming
techniques. The DTX500 conveniently lets you mute the drum part of a song and have only the
bass part sound during playback, so you can play the drum part yourself.
