● Tone Generator
The DTXPRESS’ tone generator contains a total of 910 drum and
percussion voices.
Preset Drum Kits use an exclusive Drum Kit Map for each kit in
which voices for the kit are assigned to individual MIDI note num-
bers.
The User Drum Kit uses one drum map (User Drum Map) that is
common for all drum kit numbers 49-80. The Utility mode’s [5.
Map (Drum Map)] group can be used to assign voices to each
MIDI note number (0-127) and edit the drum kit.
Along with the DTXPRESS’ drum and percussion voices, the
DTXPRESS possesses a variety of keyboard voices (128 voices)
that are based on the GM System Level 1. It is possible to deliver
piano and brass voices by hitting the pad and playback songs with
the internal sequencer or from external sequencer data. A maxi-
mum of 32 voices can be delivered simultaneously.
● Song Data
The DTXPRESS contains 95 preset songs (No. 1-95) that consist
of not only drum parts but also keyboard, brass, etc., accompani-
ment parts.
You can enjoy the songs as they are or mute the song’s drums or a
single drum voice (snare drum, etc.) and play along with the drum.
Also, you can record your performance to the User Song memory
(No. 96-127). Each song consists of two tracks and each track can
include data for MIDI channels 1-16.
● MIDI/TO HOST Jacks
All drum kit setting data and sequencer data are managed with a
MIDI data.
By connecting the DTXPRESS’ MIDI OUT/IN jacks to the MIDI
IN/OUT jacks on an external MIDI device, MIDI data can be ex-
changed. The TO/HOST jack is used to transmit and receive MIDI
data from a computer.
According to the MIDI data transmitted from an external MIDI
device or computer connected to the DTXPRESS, drum kits can
be switched, the song can be controlled and the tone generator can
be sounded freely.
For example, song data (sequencer data) transmitted from an ex-
ternal sequencer to the DTXPRESS’ MIDI IN jack can be used to
play the voices produced by the DTXPRESS’ internal tone gen-
erator. You can use the DTXPRESS to play along with these songs
and record both external sequencer and DTXPRESS parts.
Also, MIDI data produced when the DTXPRESS can be transmit-
ted to an external MIDI device and/or computer. Playing the
DTXPRESS in this configuration allows you to trigger the exter-
nal tone generator’s voices and when a drum kit is switched, have
the external MIDI keyboard’s voice change as well. The
DTXPRESS’ data can be stored to, as well as retrieved from an
external MIDI device.
