SENDING MESSAGES

 

 

In  addition  to  global  parameters,  there  are  four  special  functions  available  on  the 
DDTi:    the 

All  Notes  Off 

message,  the

  Return  to  Default  Value

  message,  and  the 

Factory Reset 

message, as well as MIDI SysEx messages.  You might rarely have to 

use these, but it is good to keep in mind that they are available in case you run into 
trouble. 

 

 

ALL NOTES OFF

 

This function sends an 

All Notes Off

 message on all MIDI channels.  An 

All Notes Off 

message will terminate any MIDI note that is still playing.  This message can be used 
to recover from erroneous stuck notes. 

 

 

To  send  an 

All  Notes  Off

  message,  press 

function  up

  and 

function  down

  buttons 

simultaneously. 

 

 

RETURN TO DEFAULT VALUE

 

This message will set the parameter being edited back to its original value.   

 

 

To  send  a 

Return  to  Default  Value

  message,  press  the 

function  down

  and 

value 

down

 buttons simultaneously. 

 

 

FACTORY RESET

 

This  operation  resets  all  functions  back  to  the  factory  setup  condition.    Sometimes 
you  might  have  gone  a  little  too  far  changing  the  configuration  of  the  DDTi.    In  this 
case,  you  might  want  to  use  the 

Factory  Reset

  message  to  restore  everything, 

including presets, back to the way it originally was.  

 

 

To send a 

Factory Reset 

message, hold down the 

value up

 and 

value down

 buttons 

simultaneously  while  powering  on  the  DDTi

.    You  will  see  “rES”  displayed  on  the 

screen to let you know that the DDTi has been reset. 

 

 

MIDI SYSEX TRANSFERS

 

MIDI  System  Exclusive  (SysEx)  messages  allow  you  to  transfer  parameter  and 
program data to and from the DDTi over the USB or MIDI connection.  Using SysEx 
software  editors,  many  of  which  are  available  free  over  the  Internet  (SendSX,  MIDI-
OX,  SysEx  Librarian),  you  can  quickly  dump  and  transfer  preset  information  to  and 
from the DDTi. 

 

 

To request a Data Dump from the DDTi, please make sure that the DDTi is connected 
via  MIDI  or  USB  to  your  SysEx  application.    Then  press 

function  up

  and 

value  up

 

simultaneously.    This  will  transfer  all  the  presets  from  the  DDTi  to  your  SysEx 
application. 

 

 

To transfer data to the DDTi, please make sure that the DDTi is connected via USB to 
your SysEx application.  Then, simply play the SysEx data you would like to transfer to 
the DDTi.
