UTILITY For pad-related settings UTILITY/PAD The parameters from the Menu area's Utility/Pad page can be used to assign functions to pads and footswitches. UTILITY/PAD 1/2 Control-Change Send Channel (CC Ch) Use this parameter to set a MIDI channel for sending the MIDI Control Change message selected using the PadFunc (Pad Function) parameter.

AUDITION By pressing the [F3] button (AUDITION), you can play the sound assigned to the selected pad without actually striking it. This can prove highly useful when you need to listen to the assigned sound while making settings. Pad Function (PadFunc) Use this parameter to specify a function (such as kit, song, or tempo selection) to be performed instead of playing a sound when the current pad is struck. Note that you can strike a pad or select it using the [F1] button (PAD) to make it the current pad. off inc kitNo dec kitNo inc songNo dec songNo inc tempo dec tempo tap tempo clickOn/Off effectOn/Off CC01 to CC95 Sounds will be produced in the normal way.

The lower the value, the smaller the virtual opening between the top and bottom hi-hats. Settings: -32 to +0 to +32 Splash Sensitivity (FootSplashSens) Use this parameter to set the degree of sensitivity for detecting hihat foot splashes. The higher the value, the easier it will be to produce a foot-splash sound with a hi-hat controller. High values may, however, result in splash sounds being unintentionally produced when, for example, you depress the hi-hat controller lightly as you keep time. It is a good idea to set this parameter to "off" if you do not want to play foot splashes. Settings: off, 1 to 127 HH-Kick Velocity Sensitivity (HH-KickVelSens) Use this parameter to set the sensitivity of the DTX700 to operation of the foot controller connected via the [!2 HH-KICK] trigger input jack. The larger the setting, the louder the sound produced when the controller is lightly depressed. Settings: 0 to 127 CymbalChokeRate Use this parameter to specify how quickly the cymbal sound is to decay when the choking or muting technique is used. The larger the value, the faster the sound will decay. Settings: -20 to +0 to +20 DTX700 Reference Manual 40

UTILITY/PAD
The parameters from the Menu area’s Utility/Pad page
can be used to assign functions to pads and foot-
switches.
PAD
Press this button to open a popup window for selecting the pad to
be set. You can also strike a pad to select it.
AUDITION
By pressing the [F3] button (AUDITION), you can play the
sound assigned to the selected pad without actually striking it.
This can prove highly useful when you need to listen to the
assigned sound while making settings.
Pad Function (PadFunc)
Use this parameter to specify a function (such as kit, song, or
tempo selection) to be performed instead of playing a sound
when the current pad is struck. Note that you can strike a pad or
select it using the [F1] button (PAD) to make it the current pad.
Settings:
off, inc kitNo, dec kitNo, inc songNo, dec songNo, inc
tempo, dec tempo, tap tempo, clickOn/Off, effectOn/Off,
CC01 to CC95
Control-Change Send Channel (CC Ch)
Use this parameter to set a MIDI channel for sending the MIDI
Control Change message selected using the PadFunc (Pad Func-
tion) parameter.
Settings:
1 to 16
Control Change Value (CC Val)
Use this parameter to set a value for the MIDI Control Change
message selected using the PadFunc (Pad Function) parameter.
Settings:
0 to 127
Foot Closed Position (FootClosePos)
Use this parameter to adjust the position at which the hi-hat
switches from open to closed when the hi-hat controller is oper-
ated. The lower the value, the smaller the virtual opening between
the top and bottom hi-hats.
Settings:
-32 to +0 to +32
Splash Sensitivity (FootSplashSens)
Use this parameter to set the degree of sensitivity for detecting hi-
hat foot splashes. The higher the value, the easier it will be to pro-
duce a foot-splash sound with a hi-hat controller. High values
may, however, result in splash sounds being unintentionally pro-
duced when, for example, you depress the hi-hat controller lightly
as you keep time. It is a good idea to set this parameter to “off” if
you do not want to play foot splashes.
Settings:
off, 1 to 127
HH-Kick Velocity Sensitivity (HH-KickVelSens)
Use this parameter to set the sensitivity of the DTX700 to opera-
tion of the foot controller connected via the [
!
2
HH-KICK] trig-
ger input jack. The larger the setting, the louder the sound
produced when the controller is lightly depressed.
Settings:
0 to 127
CymbalChokeRate
Use this parameter to specify how quickly the cymbal sound is to
decay when the choking or muting technique is used. The larger
the value, the faster the sound will decay.
Settings:
-20 to +0 to +20
