Snares Adjust

Determines the degree to which the snappy effect is
“stretched.” Setting this to “1” makes the snappy effect most
loose. The higher the value, the tighter the stretching is.

Snare Buzz

Determines whether or not the snappy effect resonates with
the Kick or Tom sound. When set to on, the snappy effect res-
onates with the Kick or Tom sound.

From this display, you can set the parameters related to the
Pad Song for each Trigger Input Source. The Pad Song
function lets you play a Song by hitting the pad instead of
pressing the [

■

] button. One Song is assigned to one

Trigger Input Source and up to four Pad Songs can be set.

SOURCE (Trigger Input Source)

Determines the Trigger Input Source to which you want to
assign the Pad Song. You can change the Trigger Input Source
by hitting the corresponding pad when Input Lock is turned
off.

Pad Song

Determines whether or not the Pad Song is assigned to the
selected Trigger Input Source. When set to on, the Trigger
Input Source can be used to start playback of the Song speci-
fied below. When set to off, the rest of the parameters below
cannot be set.

Song No (Song number)

Determines the Song number when the Pad Song is set to on.
You can start playback of the Song specified here by hitting
the pad corresponding to the Trigger Input Source. When the
Pad Song is set to off, this parameter cannot be set.

Repeat

Determines whether or not the song plays back repeatedly.
When set to on, the Song (started by hitting the pad) will play
back repeatedly. When set to off, the Song playback will stop
automatically when it reaches the end.

Mode

Determines how the Song playback responds to your pad hit-
ting. When “play” is selected, hitting the pad starts or stops
the specified Song. When “chase” is selected, hitting the pad
plays only one measure of the specified Song. When “cutoff”
is selected, hitting the pad stops any Songs started by hitting
other pads (for which the Mode parameter is set to “cutoff”)
then starts the specified Song. Hitting the pad again stops the
specified Song. Keep in mind that only a single Song can play
back from all the Pad Songs for which the Mode parameter is
set to “cutoff.”

NOTE

• The Pad Song plays back according to the tempo specified in the

Song mode or Click mode. The DTX900 has only the single tempo
value.

• Keep in mind that hitting the pad softly may not start the Pad Song.

Make sure to hit the pad more strongly than a specified level.

• If both the Pad Function (which can be set in the display called up via

the [UTILITY]

→

[F2] PAD

→

[SF2] PADFUNC) and Pad Song are

assigned to the Trigger Input Source, the Pad Song setting is can-
celed.

• Depending on the selected Pad Songs and normal Song, an unex-

pected sound may be produced. This is because each Song may be
transmitting different setups to the internal tone generator via the
same MIDI channel. If you plan on using two or more Songs together,
you should make sure that the MIDI channels used for the Songs are
all set to different values.
