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
UTILITY/MIDI
MIDI IN/OUT
Use this parameter to specify whether the exchange of MIDI mes-
sages with external devices is to be performed via the MIDI con-
nectors 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. Irre-
spective 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 synchro-
nized with external MIDI devices based on MIDI Clock messages
(i.e., F8 Timing Clock) received from them.
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

UTILITY/MIDI 1/3
int
Songs and the click track will play at the current
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.
ext
The DTX700 will be synchronized with MIDI Clock
messages received via MIDI. Use “ext” when an
external MIDI device is to be used as the master
clock source for synchronized playback.
auto
MIDI Clock messages received via MIDI will be
prioritized over the DTX700’s current tempo. In
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.
