Output destination setting examples
Here are some examples of output destination settings.
MEMO
The MASTER OUT jacks (XLR type/ 1/4-inch TRS phone type) and DIRECT OUT jacks (1/4-inch TRS phone type) are balanced outputs.
Example 1: Default settings
With these settings, all sound is output from the PHONES and MASTER OUT jacks for monitoring.
The sound from each pad is divided up and output to the DIRECT OUT 1–8 jacks, which signals are sent to your PA system.

Jack | Output setting | Example destination |
PHONES | All | Monitor headphones |
MASTER OUT | All | Drum monitor |
DIRECT OUT 1 | KICK | PA (external mixer) |
DIRECT OUT 2 | SNARE | |
DIRECT OUT 3 | HI-HAT | |
DIRECT OUT 4 | RIDE | |
DIRECT OUT 5/6 | TOM 1-4 (stereo) | |
DIRECT OUT 7/8 | CRASH 1, 2, AUX1–4 (Stereo) |
Example 2: Sending the same audio for monitoring and PA
With these settings, the same sound will be output from the PHONES jacks, the MASTER OUT jacks, and the DIRECT OUT (7, 8) jacks.
The sound being monitored by the performer will be the same as the sound sent to the PA system.
- The master compressor and master EQ effects are not applied to DIRECT OUT.

Jack | Output setting | Example destination |
PHONES | All | Monitor headphones |
MASTER OUT | All | Drum monitor |
DIRECT OUT 1 | − | − |
DIRECT OUT 2 | − | − |
DIRECT OUT 3 | − | − |
DIRECT OUT 4 | − | − |
DIRECT OUT 5/6 | − | − |
DIRECT OUT 7/8 | All | PA (external mixer) |
Example 3: Performing while listening to a click/guide track
With these settings, all sound is output to the PHONES jacks for monitoring.
By outputting CLICK (the click and song click track output) and USB IN SUB (the sound that is input to the USB COMPUTER port) only from headphones, only the player can hear the click or guide track while they perform.

Jack | Output setting | Example destination |
PHONES | All CLICK and USB IN SUB are output only to PHONES | Monitor headphones |
MASTER OUT | Output only SONG and USB IN MAIN | PA (external mixer) |
DIRECT OUT 1 | KICK | |
DIRECT OUT 2 | SNARE | |
DIRECT OUT 3 | HI-HAT | |
DIRECT OUT 4 | RIDE | |
DIRECT OUT 5/6 | TOM 1-4 (stereo) | |
DIRECT OUT 7/8 | CRASH 1, 2, AUX1–4 (Stereo) |
