UTILITY For enabling and disabling effects UTILITY/EFFECT SW UTILITY/EFFECT SW When the parameters from the Utility/Effect Switch page are set to "enable", the corresponding effects will be toggled on and off in response to simultaneous pressing of the [SHIFT] and [F2] but- tons in the Kit area (accessed by pressing the [KIT] button). If set to "disable", meanwhile, this key combina- tion will have no effect on the status of the corresponding effects. Variation : Variation effect (see page 27) Chorus : Chorus effect (see page 27) Reverb : Reverb effect (see page 27) SnareBuzz : Snare buzz effect (see page 30) Resonance : Resonance effect (see page 31) Settings: disable, enable For MIDI-related settings UTILITY/MIDI 1/3 UTILITY/MIDI MIDI IN/OUT Use this parameter to specify whether the exchange of MIDI messages with external devices is to be performed via the MIDI connectors or the [USB TO HOST] port. Settings: MIDI, USB MIDI Thru Port (ThruPort) When the DTX700 receives MIDI messages from a computer connected via USB, it can relay messages received via a specific port to the [MIDI OUT] connector so that they can be output to other external MIDI devices. Use this parameter to specify that port. Settings: 1, 2 Local Control (LocalCtrl) Use this parameter to enable ("on") or disable ("off") playing of the internal tone generator using pads and songs. Normally, this is set to "on", meaning that the tone generator is locally controlled. If set to "off", the pads and external controllers are essentially disconnected from the internal tone generator - in other words, no sound is produced by the DTX700 when you strike them. Irrespective of this parameter's setting, DTX700 performance data is output via the [MIDI OUT] connector and MIDI data from other devices is accepted for processing via the [MIDI IN] connector. An "off" setting can prove highly useful when you wish to record your drum performances as MIDI data on a hardware sequencer or DAW software. Settings: off, on MIDI Synchronization (MIDI Sync) Use this parameter to specify whether songs and the click track are to play at the tempo set for the DTX700 or are to be synchronized with external MIDI devices based on MIDI Clock messages (i.e., F8 Timing Clock) received from them. Songs and the click track will play at the current int DTX700 tempo setting. Use "int" when the drum trigger module is to be used alone or as the mas- ter clock source for other equipment. The DTX700 will be synchronized with MIDI Clock ext messages received via MIDI. Use "ext" when an external MIDI device is to be used as the master clock source for synchronized playback. MIDI Clock messages received via MIDI will be prioritized over the DTX700's current tempo. In auto other words, playback will be synchronized to MIDI Clock messages whenever they are received, and the internal tempo will be used in all other cases. Settings: int, ext, auto NOTE • In order to successfully synchronize the DTX700 whenever this parameter is set to "ext" or "auto", the connected external MIDI device or computer must be configured to send MIDI Clock messages. ClockOut Use this parameter to enable ("on") or disable ("off") the sending of MIDI Clock messages (i.e., F8 Timing Clock) via the [MIDI OUT] connector. Settings: off, on DTX700 Reference Manual 41
