UTILITY Setting Area (UTIL)
Instrument MIDI Setup
In the MIDI section, you can set MIDI parameters affecting the
entire DTX-MULTI 12 system. With the MIDI page (UTIL6) dis-
played, press the [ENTER] button to access its twelve parameter-
setting pages (UTIL6-1 to UTIL6-12). You can use the [B]/[C]
buttons to navigate between these pages.
1 Channel-10 receive (Rcv10ch)
Use this parameter to enable (“on”) or disable (“off”) the
receipt of MIDI messages sent by external devices on Chan-
nel 10. If set to “off”, the internal tone generator will play
voices on Channel 10 in response only to input from the
DTX-MULTI 12’s pads and from pads connected via the PAD
jacks.
1 Program change receive (RcvPC)
Use this parameter to enable (“on”) or disable (“off”) the
receipt of MIDI Program Change messages. If set to “off” and
a new drum kit is selected, voices will be changed only based
on settings made for that kit’s preset voices. If you want
voices on all MIDI channels to change in line with pattern set-
tings or in response to signals from external MIDI devices,
this parameter should be set to “on”.
1 Channel-10 program change receive
(RcvPC10ch)
Use this parameter to enable (“on”) or disable (“off”) the
receipt of MIDI Program Change messages sent on MIDI
channel 10. Select “on” if you want kits to change in line with
pattern settings or in response to signals from external MIDI
devices. Note that this setting is effective only when “on” is
also selected on the Program Change Receive page (UTIL6-
2).
1 Polyphonic aftertouch status (PolyAfter)
Use this parameter to enable (“on”) or disable (“off”) the
exchange of polyphonic aftertouch messages with external
MIDI devices.
1 Local control (LocalCtrl)
Use this parameter to enable (“on”) or disable (“off”) playing
of the internal tone generator using DTX-MULTI 12 pads and
patterns. 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 DTX-MULTI 12 when you strike them.
•Even if local control is disabled (i.e., set to “off”) on this page, the DTX-
MULTI 12’s internal tone generator can produce sound in response to
MIDI messages received via the MIDI IN connector and the USB TO
HOST port; furthermore, MIDI messages produced by pads, patterns,
and external controllers will be output via the MIDI OUT connector.
