MIDI Settings
[F5] MIDI
From these displays called up via the [F5] MIDI button, you can set the MIDI related parameters. The tone generator block
of the DTX900 can handle MIDI messages on 16 channels simultaneously. Among these channels, MIDI channel 10 is used
to handle the Drum Voices triggered by hitting the pads.
The tone generator block of the DTX900 can play various
types of Voices as well as Drum Voices by receiving Pro-
gram Change messages over MIDI channels other than 10.
The related parameters can be set from this display.
1
Receive10ch
Determines whether or not the DTX900 receives MIDI chan-
nel messages over channel 10 from the external MIDI device.
When set to on, the DTX900 will receive messages over
MIDI channel 10. When set to off, the DTX900 will ignore
them, meaning that the sound of the DTX900 will be trig-
gered only by hitting the connected pad or pressing the Audi-
tion button.
B
ReceivePC
Determines whether or not the DTX900 receives Program
Change messages from an external MIDI device. When set to
on, the DTX900 will receive Program Change messages from
the external MIDI device. When set to off, the DTX900 will
ignore them.
C
ReceivePC10ch
Determines whether or not the DTX900 receives Program
Change messages over MIDI channel 10 (which handles the
part of the Drum Voice triggered by hitting the pads). If you
want to change the Drum Kit number from the external MIDI
device, this parameter should be set to on. Keep in mind that
this parameter is effective only when the Receive PC parame-
ter
2
is set to on.
D
LocalCtrl (Local Control)
This determines whether or not the tone generator of the
instrument responds to your pad playing. Normally, this
should be set to “on” – since you’ll want to hear the sound of
the DTX900 as you play it. When this parameter is set to
“off,” no sound is produced even if you hit the pads, but the
corresponding MIDI messages will be transmitted via MIDI.
Also, the internal tone generator block will respond to mes-
sages received via MIDI. You may want to set this to “off”
when you are recording your drum performance as MIDI data
to another device, such as a sequencer or DAW.
