One-knob Kit Modifiers





The DTX-PRO’s Kit Modifier section packs some extraordinary utility into just three knobs. You don’t have to be a tone geek or an electronics wizard to dial in custom sounds on this module. Just spin, set, and save.





Ambience: This dial adjusts how “wet,” or roomy, drums and cymbals sound in your virtual environment.


Compression: Drums really come alive with a shot of compression. A single Comp knob eliminates the need to worry about ratios, thresholds, and knees ? just twist it until it sounds good.


Effect: This control delivers a diverse range of expression with the turn of a knob.

Whether you’re seasoned pro or you’re just starting out, the DTX-PRO module packs the tools to make you a better drummer. You get a sophisticated programmable metronome to rein in tricky fills, 37 training songs to workshop grooves and pocket, and 10 onboard training functions for sharpening your chops.
