DTXTREME III Owner’s Manual
MIDI Settings [F5] MIDI
From these displays called up via the [F5] MIDI button, you can set the MIDI related parameters. The tone generator block
of the DTXTREME III can handle MIDI messages on 16 channels simultaneously. Among these channels, MIDI channel 10
is used to handle the Drum Voices triggered by hitting the pads.
The tone generator block of the DTXTREME III can play
various types of Voices as well as Drum Voices by receiv-
ing Program Change messages over MIDI channels other
than 10. The related parameters can be set from this dis-
play.
1 Receive10ch
Determines whether or not the DTXTREME III receives
MIDI channel messages over channel 10 from the external
MIDI device. When set to on, the DTXTREME III will
receive messages over MIDI channel 10. When set to off, the
DTXTREME III will ignore them, meaning that the sound of
the DTXTREME III will be triggered only by hitting the con-
nected pad or pressing the Audition button.
B ReceivePC
Determines whether or not the DTXTREME III receives Pro-
gram Change messages from an external MIDI device. When
set to on, the DTXTREME III will receive Program Change
messages from the external MIDI device. When set to off, the
DTXTREME III will ignore them.
C ReceivePC10ch
Determines whether or not the DTXTREME III receives Pro-
gram Change messages over MIDI channel 10 (which handles
the part of the Drum Voice triggered by hitting the pads). If
you want to change the Drum Kit number from the external
MIDI device, this parameter should be set to on. Keep in mind
that this parameter is effective only when the Receive PC
parameter 2 is set to on.
D LocalCtrl (Local Control)
This determines whether or not the tone generator of the
instrument responds to your pad playing. Normally, this
should be set to “on” – since you’ll want to hear the sound of
the DTXTREME III as you play it. When this parameter is set
to “off,” no sound is produced even if you hit the pads, but the
corresponding MIDI messages will be transmitted via MIDI.
Also, the internal tone generator block will respond to mes-
sages received via MIDI. You may want to set this to “off”
when you are recording your drum performance as MIDI data
to another device, such as a sequencer or DAW.
