Yamaha DTX-MULTI Owner's Manual - Page 106

Troubleshooting Sounds do not stop, are distorted, or are intermittent and stuttered, etc. Check the following if unexpected sounds are produced when playing an external tone generator. ● Access the external instrument's MIDI channel settings and ensure that they match the MIDI channel on which the DTXMULTI 12 is sending data. Check the following if all of the pads are producing sounds at very high volumes (or high velocities). ● Open the Input Gain page for each pad ([SHIFT] + [UTILITY] → TRG2 → TRG2-1 → TRG2-1-1) and ensure that the Gain parameter is not set too high. (See page 101.) ● Open the Velocity Curve page for each pad ([SHIFT] + [UTILITY] → TRG2 → TRG2-1 → TRG2-1-2) and ensure that the VelCurve parameter is set appropriately. (See page 101.) ● Open the Trigger Velocity page for each of the pads ([MIDI] → MIDI1 → MIDI1-7) and ensure that the TrgVel parameter is set appropriately. If, for example, this parameter is set to "127", high velocities will be produced even when the pad is struck lightly. (See page 64.) ● Ensure that you are using only the recommended Yamaha external pads. Products from other manufacturers can output excessively large signals. Check the following if sounds output from the DTX-MULTI 12 appear to be distorted. ● Ensure that effects have been set appropriately. Sound can be distorted with certain combinations of effect type and parameter settings. (See pages 48, 49, 50, 59, 68, 78.) ● Open the Filter page for the voices assigned to each of the pads ([VOICE] → VCE3 → VCE3-4) and ensure that filters have been setup appropriately. Depending on the type of sound being filtered, certain resonance settings (Q) can produce distortion. (See page 58.) ● Ensure that the MASTER dial is not set to too high a volume, causing clipping to occur. Check the following if voices play endlessly and do not stop. ● Open the Receive Key-Off page ([MIDI] → MIDI1 → MIDI1-5) and check the setting for the RcvKeyOff parameter. If set to "off", certain types of voice will play endlessly when triggered. (See page 64.) You can silence all voices at any time by holding down the [SHIFT] button and pressing the [MIDI] button. Check the following if sounds stop unexpectedly during rolls and flams. ● Open the Playing Mode and MIDI Note pages ([MIDI] → MIDI1 → MIDI1-1, MIDI1-2) for the pads in question and check their settings. Delete any unnecessary note assignments for stack or alternate playing. ● Open the Mono/Poly page ([VOICE] → VCE5 → VCE5-1) and ensure that the Mono/Poly parameter is set to "poly". (See page 60.) ● Open the Double Trigger Prevention page for the pad in question ([SHIFT] + [UTILITY] → TRG2 → TRG2-1 → TRG2-1-5) and reduce the setting for the RejectTime parameter. (See page 102.) Check the following if no sound is produced when the pads are played by hand. ● Open the Select Trigger Setup page ([SHIFT] + [UTILITY] → TRG1) and ensure that "P04:Hand" or "P05:Finger is selected. (See page 100.) ● Open the Pad Type page for each pad ([SHIFT] + [UTILITY] → TRG2 → TRG2-1) and ensure that the Type parameter is set for playing by hand. (See page 100.) Check the following if the DTX-MULTI 12 sounds out of tune or seems to be playing the wrong note. ● Open the Master Tune page ([UTILITY] → UTIL1 → UTIL1-2) and ensure that the setting for the M.Tune parameter is not too far removed from "0". (See page 83.) ● If you are concerned about the pitch of a wave, open the Voice Tuning page for that wave ([VOICE] → VCE2 → VCE2-1) and ensure that the setting for the Tune parameter is not too far removed from "+ 0.00". (See page 57.) ● If you are concerned about the pitch of a pattern, open the Transpose page for that pattern ([VOICE] → VCE2 → VCE2-1) and ensure that the setting for the Transpose parameter is not too far removed from "+ 0". (See page 57.) Check the following if effects produce no changes in the sound. ● Ensure that none of the effect bypass switches have been turned on. (See page 83.) ● Open the Effect Bypass page for the entire instrument ([UTILITY] → UTIL1 → UTIL1-6), and ensure that the applied effects have not been bypassed. (See page 83.) ● Open the Master EQ Bypass page ([UTILITY] → UTIL3 → UTIL3-3) and ensure that the MEQ Bypass parameter is set to "off". (See page 87.) ● Open the Variation Send, Chorus Send, and Reverb Send pages for individual voices ([VOICE] → VCE4 → VCE4-1, VCE4-2, VCE4-3) and ensure that appropriate effect-send levels are set on each. (See page 59.) ● Open the Chorus Send and Reverb Send pages for the currently selected kit ([KIT] → KIT3 → KIT3-1, KIT3-2) and ensure that appropriate effect-send levels are set on each. (See page 48.) Values cannot be set or buttons do nothing when pressed, etc. Check the following if pattern playback does not start when the [A] button is pressed. ● Ensure that an empty pattern has not been selected. ● Open the MIDI Sync page ([UTILITY] → UTIL6 → UTIL6-6) and confirm that MIDI Sync is set as required. If this parameter is set to "ext", patterns will only playback when MIDI Clock messages are being received from an external MIDI sequencer or computer; meanwhile, if MIDI Sync is set to "auto", playback will be synchronized to MIDI Clock messages whenever they are received. (See page 91.) Perform the following if a pattern loops endlessly and does not stop. ● Silence all voices by holding down the [SHIFT] button and pressing the [MIDI] button. This action can be performed at any time. Note the following regarding wave playback speeds. ● Waves have fixed tempos. They will always play at the tempo of the original imported file regardless of the drum kit tempo and other similar settings. Carry out the following if the value is displayed as "---" and cannot be changed. ● Open the Pad Function page (UTIL4-1) for the pad in question and ensure that the Func parameter is set to "off". (See page 88.) ● Open the MIDI Note page (MIDI1-2) for the pad in question and ensure that the Note parameter for all layers (A to D) is not set to "off". (See page 63.) Check the following if pads 10 to 12 cannot be set. ● Open the Pad 10-12 Switch page ([UTILITY] → UTIL4 → UTIL4-3) and ensure that the Pad10-12 parameter is set to "enable".
