DTXM12 Touch is a dedicated iPad app that provides powerful support to drummers and percussionists who use the DTX-MULTI12 on-stage. Working hand-in-hand with a DTX-MULTI12, it offers the following functionality. ・ Display of pad assignments for the currently selected kit Rather than being limited to text alone, DTXM12 Touch can also display assignments using pictures. Furthermore, the display can be used to confirm the way in which voice layers and function assignments are configured. ・ Changing pad assignments for the currently selected kit In addition to the DTX-MULTI12’s built-in voices and functions, DTXM12 Touch lets you assign audio data (.wav, .aiff, .mp3, etc.) imported from Dropbox as well as content from your iPad’s music library. ・ Displaying and editing the kit list Using DTXM12 Touch, you can arrange kits to match your set list so that the kit data to be used on-stage can be managed much more conveniently. Within the kit list, you can rename, rearrange, and delete kits. Meanwhile, the App Pad function (App Kit inc/dec) makes it possible to switch kits on-stage much more smoothly. ・ Required Connection USB Connection: Core MIDI compatible interface (e.g. Yamaha i-UX1) Audio Connection: Stereo cable (mini stereo to standard stereo) from the headphone jack on iPad to the AUX IN jack on DTX-MULTI12 ## Key features - Visual pad assignment display with images - Assign custom audio files (WAV, AIFF, MP3) - Edit and manage kit lists for live sets - Smooth kit switching with App Pad function - Import audio from Dropbox and iPad library ## Recent user reviews (10 of 21) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dtxm12-touch-us/id953529785/reviews.md ### 1/5 — App not working with new IOS update *2023-10-14, version 2.2.3* Please update the US app to stop the freezing issue with the app and the DTX-Multi 12. I have not had any problems until the new IOS update and now the app freezes non stop and I have to reset my iPad everything this app freezes. I rely on this app to get me through live gigs but this app has been failing me too much to continue using this app. Please fix this issue ### 1/5 — Please Update! *2022-07-31, version 2.2.2* I am no longer able to program my DTX with the app. I think enough people have chimed in about this, but very annoying to have to program my hardware with the panel buttons on the unit! ### 2/5 — Mine isn’t working with 15.5 *2022-07-15, version 2.2.2* I have updated my iOS, but the app still doesn’t connect. It was good while it lasted. ### 4/5 — Thanks for the firmware update! *2022-07-08, version 2.2.2* This is now working on iOS 15.5. Thanks so much for continuing support for the Multi-12! ### 1/5 — PLEASE UPDATE YOUR APP! *2022-06-22, version 2.2.2* Like so many others this app was great and was the main reason why I purchased it for theatre shows. It made it incredibly easy to program and use in a live show. However, since Apple has updated their iOS combined with Yamaha not updating theirs in over two years the app no longer works. We are unable to connect the app to the DTX-M12. I simply do not understand why Yamaha can not do what others can which is update their app. Yamaha programmers could even do this from home. There is no excuse for Yamaha to ignore this problem. This should have been resolved long ago. ### 2/5 — PLEASE Update to support iPad running version 15.5 *2022-06-03, version 2.2.2* The app looks promising because it has a ton of functionality, but I cannot connect it to my iPad Air (3rd Gen) running version 15.5, even though I switched the MIDI setting on the DTX to USB in the Utility menu. I’m also using an official Apple Camera Adapter that I purchased from an Apple Store. Totally useless without an update! ### 1/5 — Fix to work with iOS 15.4 *2022-05-15, version 2.2.2* Like others, I purchased a new iPad to work with the DTX12. Now I find out the app doesn’t work with this version of the OS. Please fix this asap!!! ### 4/5 — 15.4.1 update? *2022-05-13, version 2.2.2* After downloading the newest iOS update, 15.4.1, my app no longer talks to my dtx12. Please tell me there is an update coming, as there hasn’t been one in a couple of years. I love the functionality of the app. I would hate to have to go back to creating new kits the old (slow) way. ### 1/5 — Furious *2022-05-06, version 2.2.2* I’m absolutely furious. Purchased a brand new iPad and DTX-Multi 12 to add to my setup only to find that this app hasn’t been updated in over 2 years and doesn’t work at all with iOS 15. Why do I bother trusting Yamaha anymore? ### 1/5 — Please fix app to work with iOS 15.4 *2022-05-03, version 2.2.2* This app made programming so easy. With the latest update I am one of legions of drummer/percussionists who can no longer use this app. Please fix this now! I can’t do theatre without it like so many others. Programming directly with the DTX is a nightmare. ## Frequently asked questions about DTXM12 Touch ### What is DTXM12 Touch used for?
