Features
Yamaha knows everything there is to know about drums. That’s how we were able to produce a compact design without compromising the essence of the drum. You can adjust the position and angles of the cymbals, snare, and tom as you wish, and perform in the correct posture. The DTX is equipped with the Yamaha foot pedal, a favourite among professional drummers, and faithfully recreates the sound variations of a drum, including the cymbal choke and rim shot. The heights of the various components can also be modified for easy use by anyone, even small children
Sound
The DTX402 sounds combine years of experience creating authentic, top-quality drum sounds with 10 built-in drum kits, including acoustic effects and electronic sounds to help you find the perfect voice. You can easily create your own kits and choose from the various high-quality sounds. Give voice to your musical sensibilities with the expressive range of the DTX.
Assembly
The simple assembly design makes it possible to streamline even the most troublesome tasks, reducing the effort and time required for assembly before a performance, and allowing you to enjoy performing almost immediately. The rack is steel-made and sturdy. It is also compact, lightweight, and foldable, so you can perform anywhere you want to.
Training
The DTX comes with 10 built-in training functions that are only possible with an electronic drum. These include the Pad Gate Function, suited even to beginners, which trains you up gradually over time, the rhythm Gate Function, which fosters a precise sense of rhythm – fundamental for drumming, and the Fast Blast Function, which measures the speed of your strokes. There is also a scoring function so you can assess your skills objectively. Take advantage of this complete range of support functions to improve your power of expression as a drummer.

Questions & Answers
Question: My question concerns connectivity to a computer, either for recording midi or audio in logic. Does it act as a midi controller or an audio interface? And can it also be controlled by midi as a software instrument? I use an audio interface for and my logic program can only deal with one audio interface (I think, or am I wrong?), so if it acts as an audio interface it wouldn't work for me I guess.
Answer
The USB connection on the DTX kits is both an audio interface and a midi connection. It will perform all of the functions you have mentioned.
In terms of connecting it alongside your existing interface, all you need to do is select the DTX as your audio input within Logic, whilst keeping the output set to your interface. You can then swap the input from the DTX to your interface depending on what you wish to record.
