Drum or Percussion Sounds and Drum Kits
Your DTX has a total of 928 drum voices (drum and percussion sounds). These drum and percussion sounds
are categorized and called “drum kits.” Drum kits consist of drum voices which are stored in correspondense
to MIDI note numbers (P.41) There are 29 user drum kits and 32 preset drum kits which are frequently used,
each categorized by music style. You can assign drum and percussion sounds to register 32 user drum kits.
Each drum and percussion sound can be edited in many ways such as changing the pitch, adding a reverb,
etc. You can use the chain function to set drum kits in the order of your preference and play them back in
this order. This function is useful for live performances.
Your DTX also contains 128 normal keyboard voices. These voices are used to add bass or chord parts to the
DTX rhythm pattern. It is also possible to play a melody or obbligato by changing a part (MIDI channel).
The tone generator section complies to the GM standard level 1 and can be used to play back the
commercially available Standard MIDI Files by an external sequencer.
