page (VCE1), and in the same way as described above,
set “Cy013:Thin16Eg” as the voice to be played for MIDI
notes with the MIDI note number 40 (E1).
With your DTX-MULTI 12 configured in this way, when-
ever you strike built-in Pad 1, two MIDI notes with the
MIDI note numbers 38 (D1) and 40 (E1) will be simulta-
neously sent to the internal tone generator, and the tone
generator will respond by playing the preset voices Sn001

The following diagram illustrates exactly what happens
inside the instrument when Pad 1 has been setup to play
two voices simultaneously as described above.

Using the DTX-MULTI 12 as a MIDI Control-
ler
Instead of MIDI Note messages, the DTX-MULTI 12 can
be setup to send MIDI Program Change messages, MIDI
Control Change messages, and the like to MIDI devices
connected via the MIDI OUT connector or USB TO HOST
port whenever pads are struck or external controllers are
operated. Using this functionality, you can easily configure
pads to, for example, start and stop playback on a MIDI
sequencer or to change presets on a MIDI instrument.
In contrast to the type of control introduced in the Pads &
Trigger Signals section (see page 28), which makes it pos-
sible to play the DTX-MULTI 12 with trigger signals sent
from a controller or foot switch connected via the FOOT
SW jack, the MIDI control function allows the instrument’s
built-in pads and external pads to operate as versatile MIDI
controllers. In addition to selecting frequently-used kits
and patterns or setting the tempo for click-track or pattern
playback, this powerful function also allows you to assign
MIDI Control Change numbers (01 to 95) and values to
pads in order to facilitate a wide range of unique modes of
use.
