Set this parameter to "on" to enable this merging of MIDI messages. Settings off or on NOTE • If "USB" has been selected on the MIDI In/Out page (UTIL6-9), this setting will be displayed as "---" and modification will not be possible. UTIL6-12 Device Number page UTIL6-12≥≥ ≥DeviceNo.=all 1 1 Device number Use this parameter to set a MIDI device number for the DTXMULTI 12. In order to successfully exchange bulk data, parameter changes, and other system exclusive MIDI messages, this setting must match the Device Number of the external MIDI device. • all......... System exclusive messages for all MIDI device numbers will be received. In addition, the DTXMULTI 12 will transmit messages using Device Number 1. • off ........ System exclusive messages such as bulk dump and parameter changes will be neither transmitted nor received. An error message will be displayed if an attempt is made to perform such an operation. Settings 1 to 16, all, or off UTIL7 FILE File Management UTIL7 FILE In the FILE section, you can perform a range of file-management operations. With the FILE page (UTIL7) displayed, press the [ENTER] button to access its six parameter-setting pages (UTIL7-1 to UTIL7-6). You can use the [B]/[C] buttons to navigate between these pages. File-related terms A number of terms will be used in the following descriptions of file management functions and operations. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with their meanings in order that these functions and operations can be more easily understood. File The term "file" is used to define a collection of data stored on a USB memory device or within the DTX-MULTI 12's internal memory. The exchange of data with USB memory devices is carried out in the form of files. File name As with your computer, the DTX-MULTI 12 can assign names to individual files. These names are used to tell files apart, and for this reason, no two files within a specific directory can share the same file name. Although computers can handle very long file names that can even contain non-English characters, the DTXMULTI 12 requires that names be limited to eight alphanumeric characters. File extension The three letters following the period at the end of a file name - such as ".mid" and ".wav" - are referred to as a "file extension." The type of data contained within the file is identified by the file extension. Please note that, although this instrument assigns file extensions to file names, they are not displayed on-screen in order to allow the available space to be used more efficiently. File size The amount of memory needed to store a file is indicated by the file size. These sizes and also the capacities of memory devices are presented in standard computer format using B (bytes), KB (kilo bytes), MB (mega bytes), and GB (giga bytes). (1 KB is equivalent to 1,024 bytes, 1 MB is equivalent to 1,024 KB, and 1 GB is equivalent to 1,024 MB.) USB memory device The term "USB memory device" is used to refer to hard disks and other external USB memory units used for the storage and retrieval of files. 92 Owner's Manual
