Control Change
This data is used to enhance your musical expression by conveying commands such as for the dumper pedal,
effects and volume. Each function has a control number and the general value variable for each control
ranges between 0 and 127. The DTX tone generator can receive various control change data. It is also
possible to use the foot controller to send control change data to an external MIDI device. The following are
examples of well known control change data.
Ctrl.No.001 Modulation ....... Used to adjust the depth of a vibrato.
Ctrl.No.007 Volume ............. Used to adjust the volume.
Ctrl.No.010 Pad ................... Used to adjust the pan position (left or right position in a stereo image).
Ctrl.No.011 Expression ....... Used to adjust the volume of a musical expression.
Ctrl.No.064 Dumper Pedal .. Used to set the effect when the dumper pedal of a piano is stepped on.
Ctrl.No.91 Reverb Depth ..... Used to adjust the depth of an effect (reverb) of a connected synthesizer or MIDI tone generator.
In order to send control change data using a foot controller, it is necessary to assign the channel of the
control change type you are sending on the 23rd display page in Drum Kit Trigger Edit mode (P.47).

Refer to the MIDI Implementation Chart on P.168 for details on the control change data of the DTX.
Pitch Bend
This data sends the pitch bend data of a pitch bend wheel normally equipped on a synthesizer that bends the
pitch up or down. The DTX tone generator can receive pitch bend data. You can also send pitch bend data
to an external MIDI device using a foot controller (P.47).

System Message
The DTX transmits the following system messages. The system message can be transmitted regardless of the
MIDI channel settings.
Real-time Message
This data synchronizes multiple MIDI devices. You can start, continue or stop an external rhythm machine
or sequencer by pressing the START, PAUSE, or STOP buttons on the DTX, or synchronize a pattern or song
on the DTX using the MIDI clock from an external device.
In order to transmit start, continue or stop data, it is necessary to set the System Real-time Message parameter
on the 39th display page in Utility mode to “transmit”. It is also necessary to set the parameters regarding
synchronized performance on the 40th display page in Utility mode.
Exclusive Message
This data is mainly used to exchange system or tone data exclusive to a specific device. You can use the
exclusive message to store the drum kit, pattern, or song data on your DTX by sending the bulk data to an
external device such as a sequencer or computer, or recall such data to the DTX from the sequencer or
computer.
Refer to P.119 for details on the transmission of exclusive messages.
