Settings play, chase, cutoff F [SF5] INFO (Information) Pressing this button calls up the display which indicates the Pad Song settings. NOTE • The Pad Song plays back according to the tempo specified in the Song mode or Click mode. The DTX900 has only the single tempo value. • Keep in mind that hitting the pad softly may not start the Pad Song. Make sure to hit the pad more strongly than a specified level. • If both the Pad Function (which can be set in the display called up via the [UTILITY] → [F2] PAD → [SF2] PADFUNC) and Pad Song are assigned to the Trigger Input Source, the Pad Song setting is canceled. • Depending on the selected Pad Songs and normal Song, an unexpected sound may be produced. This is because each Song may be transmitting different setups to the internal tone generator via the same MIDI channel. If you plan on using two or more Songs together, you should make sure that the MIDI channels used for the Songs are all set to different values.
