Troubleshooting No sound is produced when a pad is struck, or the volume is lower than expected.  Check connections as follows. • Ensure that the DTX700 is properly connected to headphones or an external audio system, such as an amplifier and/or speakers. • Ensure that the cables you are using are in good condition.  Confirm whether volumes and/or output levels are set correctly using the following. • Volume controllers on amplifiers and/or speakers connected to the DTX700. • The [MASTER] knob on the DTX700 front panel. • The sliders on the DTX700 front panel. • The Volume parameter from the Menu area's Kit/Common page. (See page 15.) • The Volume parameter from the Menu area's Kit/Voice page. (See page 18.) • The MasterVolume parameter from the Menu area's Utility/General page. (See page 37.) • The trigger output level of any pads with a dial allowing this to be adjusted.  Check relevant trigger settings as follows. • Ensure that the PadType parameter from the Menu area's Trigger/Pad/Pad Type page has been set correctly. (See page 46.) • Ensure that the VelCurve (Velocity Curve) parameter from the Menu area's Trigger/Pad/Curve page and the Gain parameter from the Trigger/Pad/Pad Type page have been set appropriately. (See pages 45, 46.) • Ensure that the MinLevel (Minimum Level) parameter from the Menu area's Trigger/Pad/Pad Type page has not been set too high, as this can prevent sound from being output. (See page 47.)  Check relevant effect and filter settings as follows. • If using filters, re-adjust your cutoff-frequency settings as they often prevent sound from being output. • Ensure that the Attack (Attack Time) and Decay (Decay Time) parameters from the Menu area's Kit/Voice page have been set appropriately. (See page 18.)  Check relevant MIDI settings as follows. • Ensure that the MessageType parameter from the Menu area's Kit/MIDI/Assign page is set to "note". • Ensure that the VoiceNumber parameter from the Menu area's Kit/Voice page is not set to "no assign." (See pages 17, 20.) • Ensure that the VelLimitLo (Velocity Limit: Low) parameter from the Menu area's Kit/MIDI/Assign page is not set too high. (Pads will produce sound only when struck harder than the value set here. See page 22.) • Ensure that the TrgVel (Trigger Velocity) parameter from the Menu area's Kit/MIDI/Assign page is not set too low. (Low trigger veloc- ities result in low output volumes. See page 23.) • Ensure that the LocalCtrl (Local Control) parameter from the Menu area's Utility/MIDI page is set to "on". (See page 41.) • Ensure that the Note parameter for all layers on the Menu area's Kit/MIDI/Assign page have not been set to "off", "skip", or a value marked with as asterisk (*). (In such a case, no layer will be configured to produce a sound. See page 21.)  If an assigned wave does not play, try the following. • Ensure that the data for the wave assigned to the pad in question has not been deleted. • If you restored the Factory Set, ensure that the wave data has been loaded back in from a USB memory device. (Waves are not included when only kit data is loaded from a USB memory device. See page 59.)  Check relevant pad settings as follows. • Ensure that the PadFunc (Pad Function) parameter from the Menu area's Utility/Pad page is set to "off". (See page 40.)

Troubleshooting
Check connections as follows.
• Ensure that the DTX700 is properly connected to headphones or an external audio system, such as an amplifier and/or speakers.
• Ensure that the cables you are using are in good condition.
Confirm whether volumes and/or output levels are set correctly using the following.
• Volume controllers on amplifiers and/or speakers connected to the DTX700.
• The [MASTER] knob on the DTX700 front panel.
• The sliders on the DTX700 front panel.
• The Volume parameter from the Menu area’s Kit/Common page.
(See page 15.)
• The Volume parameter from the Menu area’s Kit/Voice page.
(See page 18.)
• The MasterVolume parameter from the Menu area’s Utility/General page.
(See page 37.)
• The trigger output level of any pads with a dial allowing this to be adjusted.
Check relevant trigger settings as follows.
•Ensure that the PadType parameter from the Menu area’s Trigger/Pad/Pad Type page has been set correctly.
(See page 46.)
•Ensure that the VelCurve (Velocity Curve) parameter from the Menu area’s Trigger/Pad/Curve page and the Gain parameter from
the Trigger/Pad/Pad Type page have been set appropriately.
(See pages 45, 46.)
•Ensure that the MinLevel (Minimum Level) parameter from the Menu area’s Trigger/Pad/Pad Type page has not been set too high,
as this can prevent sound from being output.
(See page 47.)
Check relevant effect and filter settings as follows.
• If using filters, re-adjust your cutoff-frequency settings as they often prevent sound from being output.
•Ensure that the Attack (Attack Time) and Decay (Decay Time) parameters from the Menu area’s Kit/Voice page have been set
appropriately.
(See page 18.)
Check relevant MIDI settings as follows.
• Ensure that the MessageType parameter from the Menu area’s Kit/MIDI/Assign page is set to “note”
.
•Ensure that the VoiceNumber parameter from the Menu area’s Kit/Voice page is not set to “no assign.”
(See pages 17, 20.)
•
Ensure that the VelLimitLo (Velocity Limit: Low) parameter from the Menu area’s Kit/MIDI/Assign page is not set too high. (Pads will
produce sound only when struck harder than the value set here.
See page 22.
)
•Ensure that the TrgVel (Trigger Velocity) parameter from the Menu area’s Kit/MIDI/Assign page is not set too low. (Low trigger veloc-
ities result in low output volumes.
See page 23.
)
• Ensure that the LocalCtrl (Local Control) parameter from the Menu area’s Utility/MIDI page is set to “on”
.
(See page 41.)
• Ensure that the Note parameter for all layers on the Menu area’s Kit/MIDI/Assign page have not been set to “off”
, “skip”
, or a value
marked with as asterisk (*). (In such a case, no layer will be configured to produce a sound.

)
If an assigned wave does not play, try the following.
• Ensure that the data for the wave assigned to the pad in question has not been deleted.
• If you restored the Factory Set, ensure that the wave data has been loaded back in from a USB memory device. (Waves are not
included when only kit data is loaded from a USB memory device.
See page 59.
)
Check relevant pad settings as follows.
• Ensure that the PadFunc (Pad Function) parameter from the Menu area’s Utility/Pad page is set to “off”
.
