● Tone Generator The DTXPRESS' tone generator contains a total of 910 drum and percussion voices. Preset Drum Kits use an exclusive Drum Kit Map for each kit in which voices for the kit are assigned to individual MIDI note numbers. The User Drum Kit uses one drum map (User Drum Map) that is common for all drum kit numbers 49-80. The Utility mode's [5. Map (Drum Map)] group can be used to assign voices to each MIDI note number (0-127) and edit the drum kit. Along with the DTXPRESS' drum and percussion voices, the DTXPRESS possesses a variety of keyboard voices (128 voices) that are based on the GM System Level 1. It is possible to deliver piano and brass voices by hitting the pad and playback songs with the internal sequencer or from external sequencer data. A maximum of 32 voices can be delivered simultaneously. ● Song Data The DTXPRESS contains 95 preset songs (No. 1-95) that consist of not only drum parts but also keyboard, brass, etc., accompaniment parts. You can enjoy the songs as they are or mute the song's drums or a single drum voice (snare drum, etc.) and play along with the drum. Also, you can record your performance to the User Song memory (No. 96-127). Each song consists of two tracks and each track can include data for MIDI channels 1-16. ● MIDI/TO HOST Jacks All drum kit setting data and sequencer data are managed with a MIDI data. By connecting the DTXPRESS' MIDI OUT/IN jacks to the MIDI IN/OUT jacks on an external MIDI device, MIDI data can be exchanged. The TO/HOST jack is used to transmit and receive MIDI data from a computer. According to the MIDI data transmitted from an external MIDI device or computer connected to the DTXPRESS, drum kits can be switched, the song can be controlled and the tone generator can be sounded freely. For example, song data (sequencer data) transmitted from an external sequencer to the DTXPRESS' MIDI IN jack can be used to play the voices produced by the DTXPRESS' internal tone generator. You can use the DTXPRESS to play along with these songs and record both external sequencer and DTXPRESS parts. Also, MIDI data produced when the DTXPRESS can be transmitted to an external MIDI device and/or computer. Playing the DTXPRESS in this configuration allows you to trigger the external tone generator's voices and when a drum kit is switched, have the external MIDI keyboard's voice change as well. The DTXPRESS' data can be stored to, as well as retrieved from an external MIDI device. DTXPRESS Internal Makeup ■ Basic Operations for Data Setting ● Enter the Modes Press each Mode button.
