These jacks are used to exchange data between an external MIDI device/computer and the DTXPRESS. The MIDI data format is used. About MIDI MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world standard that provides a means to connect instruments and computers and allow them to transmit and receive performance and other data. This standard allows computers and instruments of different makers and types to communicate. Using MIDI the DTXPRESS can perform the following operations. Refer to the [Connecting a MIDI Device] section (P. 12) for more information on connecting external MIDI devices. ● Bulk Dump/Bulk In Data for each of the settings in the DTXPRESS can be transmitted to an external MIDI device or computer (Bulk Dump). When connected to the DTXPRESS, a device equipped with a "save" function, such as the Yamaha MDF3, etc., can be used to backup your data and create a library with. Also, the data saved in an external device can be transmitted back to the DTXPRESS (Bulk In). ● Synchronized Playback with External MIDI Devices When two MIDI devices that use tempo information such as a sequencer, etc. are connected, one device must play along with the other (sync) using tempo information (clock) transmitted by the master device. Playback of an external sequencer's data can be synchronized with the DTXPRESS' song and metronome click. Also, playback of the DTXPRESS' song can be synchronized to an external sequencer. ● Transmit and Receive MIDI Data • The DTXPRESS' tone generator can be driven by MIDI song data (sequence data) transmitted from an external MIDI device. This song data can be recorded along with your performance on the DTXPRESS. • The DTXPRESS' drum kits can be switched and song playback can be controlled from an external MIDI device. • Hi-hat controller information can be transmitted via MIDI. A variety of other MIDI information can also be transmitted and received. Refer to the [Drum Kit Voice Edit Mode] (P. 39), [Utility Mode] (P. 51), [MIDI Data Format], (P. 80) etc. for more information. 25
