Appendix - MIDI Using the DTX as a MIDI Interface The trigger response of the DTX is fast enough to serve as a MIDI trigger interface. By playing a pad or drum with a trigger sensor connected to the DTX as in the following illustration, the DTX will send the Key On or Key Off data of the note number (P.40) set to each input. It is possible to overlay tone modules from external tone generators or sampler sounds on the DTX sounds to create a thick sound. Also, by switching the drum kits, you can send program change data (P.120). It is necessary to set the MIDI send channel to match the channel of the external MIDI device so that the DTX correctly receives the key data (P.42, 92, 110, 118). Tone generator modules MIDI IN MIDI OUT DTX Using the DTX in Live Performances The next illustration shows how to connect the DTX to external tone generator modules or sequencers to control them and create a large scale configuration for live performances. For example, by using a pad or foot switch connected to the DTX, you can start or stop a MIDI real-time message (P.125) thereby being able to synchronize a music system on a personal computer to a song on the DTX and conduct a solo live performance. By using the MIDI patch bay, you can play an external synthesizer (using MIDI note send signals) over a song from the DTX or the playing of your pad and produce a thicker sound. Use the chain function of the DTX to create a chain of drum kits in a designated order in advance to the song you will be playing at a live performance. It is also better if you set the reverb (P.55) for each voice when you are creating a drum kit to improve the music expression when playing real-time in a live performance.

The trigger response of the DTX is fast enough to serve as a MIDI trigger interface.

By playing a pad or drum with a trigger sensor connected to the DTX as in the following illustration, the DTX

will send the Key On or Key Off data of the note number (P.40) set to each input.

It is possible to overlay

tone modules from external tone generators or sampler sounds on the DTX sounds to create a thick sound.

Also, by switching the drum kits, you can send program change data (P.120).

It is necessary to set the MIDI send channel to match the channel of the external MIDI device so that the DTX

correctly receives the key data (P.42, 92, 110, 118).

Using the DTX in Live Performances

The next illustration shows how to connect the DTX to external tone generator modules or sequencers to

control them and create a large scale configuration for live performances.

For example, by using a pad or foot switch connected to the DTX, you can start or stop a MIDI real-time

message (P.125) thereby being able to synchronize a music system on a personal computer to a song on the

DTX and conduct a solo live performance.

By using the MIDI patch bay, you can play an external synthesizer

(using MIDI note send signals) over a song from the DTX or the playing of your pad and produce a thicker

sound.

Use the chain function of the DTX to create a chain of drum kits in a designated order in advance to

the song you will be playing at a live performance.

It is also better if you set the reverb (P.55) for each voice

when you are creating a drum kit to improve the music expression when playing real-time in a live

performance.
