Troubleshooting

Check connections as follows.
• Ensure that the DTX700 is properly connected to headphones or an external audio system, such as an amplifier and/or speakers.
• Ensure that the cables you are using are in good condition.

Confirm whether volumes and/or output levels are set correctly using the following.
• Volume controllers on amplifiers and/or speakers connected to the DTX700.
• The [MASTER] knob on the DTX700 front panel.
• The sliders on the DTX700 front panel.
• The Volume parameter from the Menu area’s Kit/Common page. (See page 15.)
• The Volume parameter from the Menu area’s Kit/Voice page. (See page 18.)
• The MasterVolume parameter from the Menu area’s Utility/General page. (See page 37.)
• The trigger output level of any pads with a dial allowing this to be adjusted.

Check relevant trigger settings as follows.
• Ensure that the PadType parameter from the Menu area’s Trigger/Pad/Pad Type page has been set correctly. (See page 46.)
• Ensure that the VelCurve (Velocity Curve) parameter from the Menu area’s Trigger/Pad/Curve page and the Gain parameter from
the Trigger/Pad/Pad Type page have been set appropriately. (See pages 45, 46.)
• Ensure that the MinLevel (Minimum Level) parameter from the Menu area’s Trigger/Pad/Pad Type page has not been set too high,
as this can prevent sound from being output. (See page 47.)

Check relevant effect and filter settings as follows.
• If using filters, re-adjust your cutoff-frequency settings as they often prevent sound from being output.
• Ensure that the Attack (Attack Time) and Decay (Decay Time) parameters from the Menu area’s Kit/Voice page have been set
appropriately. (See page 18.)

Check relevant MIDI settings as follows.
• Ensure that the MessageType parameter from the Menu area’s Kit/MIDI/Assign page is set to “note”.
• Ensure that the VoiceNumber parameter from the Menu area’s Kit/Voice page is not set to “no assign.” (See pages 17, 20.)
• Ensure that the VelLimitLo (Velocity Limit: Low) parameter from the Menu area’s Kit/MIDI/Assign page is not set too high. (Pads will
produce sound only when struck harder than the value set here. See page 22. )
• Ensure that the TrgVel (Trigger Velocity) parameter from the Menu area’s Kit/MIDI/Assign page is not set too low. (Low trigger veloc-
ities result in low output volumes. See page 23. )
• Ensure that the LocalCtrl (Local Control) parameter from the Menu area’s Utility/MIDI page is set to “on”. (See page 41.)
• Ensure that the Note parameter for all layers on the Menu area’s Kit/MIDI/Assign page have not been set to “off”, “skip”, or a value
marked with as asterisk (*). (In such a case, no layer will be configured to produce a sound. See page 21. )

If an assigned wave does not play, try the following.
• Ensure that the data for the wave assigned to the pad in question has not been deleted.
• If you restored the Factory Set, ensure that the wave data has been loaded back in from a USB memory device. (Waves are not
included when only kit data is loaded from a USB memory device. See page 59. )

Check relevant pad settings as follows.
• Ensure that the PadFunc (Pad Function) parameter from the Menu area’s Utility/Pad page is set to “off”. (See page 40.)
No sound is produced when a pad is struck, or the volume is lower than expected.
