Yamaha launched the DTX582K electronic drumset and an update of their DTX502 Touch app at the Musik Messe in Frankfurt. Already introduced at NAMM 2015, this new app update is available as free download, just like all the other Yamaha apps. At the Messe, Cherisse Osei demoed the latest version included in the video of her playing the DTX582K. We also added our introduction video to the app from NAMM this year. Jim Haler explains better than anyone else what the app can do musically, and in combination with the Yamaha drums. New functions added in version 2.0 are: the Hybrid-setup wizard, Save/Load One kit, and with direct access to Yamahadtx.com to expand your DTX502 possibilities.

The free Yamaha iOS DTX502 Touch App
The DTX502 Touch app lets the user control all the features of the DTX502 module using their iOS touch-screen when connected via USB. It provides easy sound editing and layering for each pad of any kit to create up to 50 custom user kits. Custom Click, Menu and Trigger settings can also be saved and all user data is backed up inside the app.
