DTX700 Reference Manual 2

Internal Design of the DTX700

In this reference section, you will find a description of

what takes place within the DTX700 between striking

of a pad and the output of sound from speakers.

Understanding how signals flow and are processed

internally will allow you to utilize the powerful func-

tions of this versatile instrument to their maximum

potential.

Pads & Trigger Signals

Whenever you strike a pad, a trigger signal containing various

items of performance data will be produced. These signals typi-

cally reflect the strength with which the pad was struck, the actual

location of the strike, and the like; furthermore, they are delivered

via a cable and a trigger input jack to the DTX700’s internal tone

generator, which outputs the appropriate drum sounds in response.

If a pad is set up to generate just one sound, there will be a one-to-

one relationship between the trigger signal type and the drum voice

output. With certain types of pad, however, it is possible to produce

a range of different types of trigger signal that reflect the location

of the strike, the drumming technique being used, and other factors.

[Terminology]

Zone:

The term “zone” is used to refer to specific areas of the pad,

such as the rim, cup, and head. Pads with multiple zones (such

as two- and three-zone pads) can produce a different trigger sig-

nal for each. As their name suggests, one-zone pads produce

only one signal irrespective of where they are struck.

Trigger input source:

Trigger input sources are named in accordance with the way in

which the corresponding pad or pedal is struck or operated.

 One-zone pads (producing a single trigger sig-

nal)

A mono pad such as the TP65 Single Zone Drum Pad or

PCY65 Single Zone Cymbal Pad transmits only one type of

trigger signal to the DTX700, irrespective of where it is struck.

 Two- and three-zone pads (producing multiple

trigger signals)

In contrast to the PCY65 Single Zone Cymbal Pad and other

mono pads, multi-zone pads such as the PCY65S Double Zone

Cymbal Pad can produce two different types of trigger signal

depending on the zone that is struck, while the PCY135 Triple

Zone Cymbal Pad can produce three. In specific terms, multi-

zone pads come in either the two-zone or three-zone variety.

For instance, the PCY135 Triple Zone Cymbal Pad illustrated

below comprises three trigger input sources – the bow, the

edge, and the cup – each of which generates a trigger input sig-

nal when struck.

Example: PCY135 trigger input sources when connected

to the [yCRASH1] trigger input jack

DTX700 Reference Manual

 Example of how a pad controller can be used

to increase the number of trigger input

sources

Consider, for example, a situation where an XP100SD Snare

Pad is connected to the [qSNARE] trigger input jack and the

PadCtrlType (Pad Control Type) parameter from the Menu

area’s Kit/Pad page is set to “snaresOn/Off”. As this pad com-

prises three zones – namely, the open rim (A), the closed rim

(B), and the head (C) – it will have three trigger input sources.

If the pad controller were then to be used to switch the

SnaresOn/Off (Snare Wire On/Off) parameter from “on” to

“off” or vice-versa, the pad could be made to have a total of six

trigger input sources.

 Combining three zones and a pad controller to

give six trigger input sources

Trigger Setups

Your DTX700 uses a set of parameters called trigger setups to

ensure that trigger signals from pads and controllers are processed

in an ideal manner. In addition to the actual sensitivity of the pad

when it is struck, a trigger setup can include settings intended to

prevent a pair of trigger signals being produced in response to a

single strike (i.e., double triggering) and unwanted trigger signals

being produced by pads other than the one that was struck (i.e.,

crosstalk). The DTX700 comes pre-loaded with a total of 9 Preset

trigger setups suitable for many different needs, and you can also

create up to 20 unique User trigger setups to suit your own individ-

ual requirements.

Pads and trigger input jacks

As described above, some pads feature multiple trigger input

sources, each of which can generate its own trigger signals. It is the

role of the DTX700 to collect and process these signals, but the

types of trigger signal handled will depend on which of the trigger

input jacks is used for connection. For the most up-to-date infor-

mation on the correspondence between pad types and DTX700

trigger input jacks, please refer to the following web page.

http://dtxdrums.yamaha.com/

Drum Kits & Voices

Upon the receipt of a trigger signal, the DTX700’s internal tone

generator plays the voice assigned to the corresponding trigger

input source. The term “kit” is used to refer to a full set of voice

assignments for all trigger input sources, and the DTX700 comes

preloaded with 50 preset drum kits. You are, however, free to mod-

ify these drum kits in whatever way you see fit. In many cases, it is

sufficient to simply select one of the preset drum kits for your per-

formances, but if you wish to create original kits, it is important

that you understand the inner workings of the DTX700, including

the makeup of drum kits.

 Voice assignments for trigger input sources

As voices may be freely assigned to each of the trigger input

sources sending trigger signals from the pads, original drum

kits may be easily configured. For details of the basic proce-

dure, see page16.

Internal Design of the DTX700

DTX700 Reference Manual

 Instrument assignments for trigger input jacks

Assigning voices individually to each trigger input source can

be quite time consuming. In order to speed up this process, the

DTX700 features instrument parameters that group together the

drum voices assigned to the multiple trigger input sources cor-

responding to each trigger input jack – or in other words, the

drum voices assigned to each pad.

 Voices grouped as kits

For most drummers, the preset drum kits built into the DTX700

are sufficient to provide a wide range of variation in perfor-

mances. If, however, you wish to customize these presets, you

can simply change the instrument set for each trigger input jack

to assign new voices to each of the corresponding pad’s trigger

input sources. If you wish to go even further, meanwhile, you

can also change voice assignments on an individual trigger

input source basis to create drum kits finely tuned to your indi-

vidual needs (see page16).

Sounds Produced Using the Pads

Whenever the DTX700’s internal tone generator receives a trigger

signal produced by striking a pad or by operating a controller, it will

play the voice or song assigned to that pad or controller. As

described below, three different types of assignment are supported –

namely, voices, songs, and waves.

• Voices

Drum sounds such as snares, bass drums, and cymbals; percus-

sion sounds; and pitched-instrument sounds such as piano,

xylophone, and guitar.

• Songs

Phrases containing performance data for a range of different

instruments.

•Waves

Audio files imported into the DTX700 from a variety of

sources.

The Menu area’s Kit/Voice page is used to assign voices, songs,

and waves to pads and controllers. On that page, available assign-

ments are categorized by musical instrument type (in the case of

voices), as songs, or as waves. While these three assignment types

can all be defined for pads in the same way, it is important to

remember that each type plays in a different way and is configured

using different parameters.

 Voices

The DTX700 comes preloaded with a vast library of drum

sounds, such as snares, bass drums, and cymbals, together with

a broad spectrum of percussion-instrument sounds. Also

included are many pitched instruments, such as piano, xylo-

phone, and guitar. The term “voice” is used to refer to these

built-in instrument sounds. Drum and percussion voices from

this collection are not rooted at one specific pitch; instead, you

can intuitively adjust their tuning in order to match the sounds

of other instruments. Meanwhile, pitched-instrument voices

such as piano and guitar can be assigned to pads with a specific

pitch setting, thus allowing you to play several different notes

together to produce chords; in addition, you can also have pads

trigger successive notes from a phrase each time they are

struck, making it possible to play melodic parts (see page21).

With the timing and strength of your playing reflected in the

sound produced by preset voices, you can perform with practi-

cally the same level of expressiveness as afforded by acoustic

instruments.

Choosing instruments for each trigger input jack

By selecting an instrument, all of the

voices assigned to a pad’s three trigger

input sources can be changed together.

Internal Design of the DTX700

DTX700 Reference Manual

 Songs

The DTX700 allows you to play complete songs simply by

striking one pad. In the same way as snare sounds are produced

by striking a pad to which a snare voice has been assigned, you

can start and stop the playback of songs by striking the pads to

which they are assigned. In effect, pads with song assignments

operate as start/stop switches whenever struck (regardless of

how hard or soft they are actually struck). Your DTX700 comes

pre-loaded with 63 songs containing performance data from a

host of different instrument genres (i.e., 2 demo songs, 44 prac-

tice songs, and 17 pad songs), and by assigning these freely to

pads, you can easily create highly individualized kits. For even

more flexibility, you can also copy performances you have

recorded (using the [REC] button) and even import standard

MIDI files (Format 0) to create a total of 93 songs (see

page36).

 Waves

The DTX700 is fully equipped to play back audio files that can

be created, edited, and played on computers. Commonly called

“samples” or “sample data”, these files contain short portions

of sound. In the context of the DTX700, however, they are

referred to as “waves”. Either WAV or AIFF type audio files

can be imported into the instrument’s internal wave memory

and assigned to pads in much the same way as voices and songs

(see page55). You can also edit imported waves. As audio files

imported into the DTX700’s wave memory are assigned to pads

as a single sound much like voices and songs, the term “wave

data” is used within this manual in the same way as “voice

data” or “song data”. In contrast, the term “wave file” is used to

refer to data that has not yet been imported and is handled in the

form of a file on a computer, sampler, or USB memory device.

Kit Makeup

In terms of the DTX700, the term “kit” is used to refer to a collec-

tion of voices, songs, and waves assigned to the trigger input jacks

(q to !2) and the [HI-HAT CONTROL] jack (open and closed).

For added convenience, the drum trigger module comes pre-loaded

with 50 different Preset kits. You are, however, free to make your

own unique kits in whatever way you see fit, and up to 60 can also

be stored internally. And if, for whatever reason, you need to restart

your customizing from scratch, you can press the [KIT] button to

access the Kit area and then press the [F3] button (INIT KIT) to

restore the factory default settings.

 Kits & Voices

Within the DTX700, voice data is grouped and stored in kit

units. In other words, each kit contains the voice-related infor-

mation for all of its pad and controller assignments. Whenever

a kit is created by editing voices, the voices themselves are not

stored within the kit; instead, the settings for all associated

parameters – such as tuning, stereo pan, attack time, release

time, effects, etc. – are stored. As you would expect, each of the

pads can have different parameter settings (see page16). There-

fore, even when the display shows the same voice assigned to

two or more pads, the sounds produced by each will not neces-

sarily be the same.

DTX700 Reference Manual

 Voices & Layers

The DTX700 provides four layers (A to D) for each trigger

input source. For this reason, you can assign up to four different

voices to each one. What’s more, these layered voices can also

be triggered in three different ways – for example, they will all

play together in Stack mode, a different one will be played for

each strike in Alternate mode, and they can be sustained and

turned off on each successive strike in Hold mode. (Use the

Mode parameter from the Menu area’s Kit/MIDI/Assign page

to make these settings.)

To overlay multiple voices, first of all select the trigger input

source, and use the Note parameter from the Menu area’s Kit/

MIDI/Assign page to ensure that a MIDI note number is

assigned to each of its layers. Then, use the above-mentioned

Mode parameter to set the way in which the layered voices are

to be triggered, and finally, use the VoiceCategory and Number

parameters from the Menu area’s Kit/Voice page to assign suit-

able voices to each layer.

NOTE

• When assigning a pad song to a trigger input source, only

one layer can be configured for it.

 Voices and MIDI note numbers

It is important to realize that voices are actually assigned to

MIDI note numbers whenever Stack mode or Alternate mode is

used (see page21). With these modes, the sounds to be played

together are set using MIDI note numbers and not voices. To

change the correspondence between MIDI note numbers and

voices within the current kit, you can select voices assigned to

MIDI note numbers on the Menu area’s Kit/Voice page.

Effects

The effect processor built into your DTX700 applies special audio

effects to the output from the tone generator in order to modify and

enhance its sound in a wide variety of ways. Normally applied dur-

ing the final stages of editing, effects allow you optimize the sound

to better suit your own specific requirements.

 Effect Processor Design

The DTX700 can apply effects to the tone generator’s output

using the following four effect units.

 Variation Effect

Variation effects allow you to sculpt your sound in a variety

of different ways. A specific type of variation effect can be

selected for each kit, and you can also specify the degree to

which this effect is applied to each layer (using the

VarSend(Dry) (Variation Send Level) parameter from the

Menu area’s Kit/Voice page).

 Chorus

Chorus effects change the spatial characteristics of the

sounds to which they are applied. A specific type of chorus

effect can be selected for each kit, and you can also specify

the degree to which this effect is applied to each layer (using

the ChoSend (Chorus Send Level) parameter from the Menu

area’s Kit/Voice page).

 Reverb

Reverb effects add a warm ambience to sounds, simulating

the complex reflections of actual performance spaces, such

as a concert hall or a small club. A specific type of reverb

effect can be selected for each kit, and you can also specify

the degree to which this effect is applied to each layer (using

the RevSend (Reverb Send Level) parameter from the Menu

area’s Kit/Voice page).

NOTE

• The degree to which songs are processed by these effect

units can be specified using the VarSend(Dry) (Variation

Send Level) parameter, the ChoSend (Chorus Send

Level) parameter, and the RevSend (Reverb Send Level)

parameter from the Menu area’s Song/MIDI page; fur-

thermore, these settings can then be saved as part of the

corresponding song data.

 Kit EQ

Supporting four-band equalization, the Kit EQ effect unit

can be configured in a different way for each kit (using the

parameters from the Menu area’s Kit/EQ page).

 Master EQ

Processing the overall instrument sound just before output,

Master EQ supports three-band equalization. This effect unit

is configured using the Menu area’s Utility/Master EQ page,

and changing kits has no effect on its equalization settings.

 Stack

All four layers will sound simultaneously.

Layer B

Layer C

Layer D

 Alternate

Individual layers will sound sequentially.

 Effect Signal Flow

*1: Click-track voices cannot be sent to effects.

*2: Using the VarSend(Dry) (Variation Send Level) parameter, you can set the required balance between the amount of the

signal that will bypass the effect (i.e., the dry level) and the amount that will be sent to the effect (i.e., the wet level).

*3: Effects cannot be applied to external audio input via the [AUX IN] port.

 Effects & Effect Categories

The various individual effects provided by this instrument’s

effect units are sorted into a number of different categories.

What follows is a description of each category and the effects it

contains. We recommend that you refer to these descriptions

whenever setting effects. Each category’s effect table indicates

which of the effect units – i.e., Reverb (Rev), Chorus (Cho), or

Variation (Var) – can be used to apply the effect in question.

Any effect marked using a  symbol can be selected and modi-

fied on the corresponding effect unit’s parameter setting pages.

 Compressor & EQ

The compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and

compress the dynamics (i.e., softness or loudness) of an

audio signal. In the case of vocals, guitar parts, and other

signals that have widely varying dynamics, this effect essen-

tially squeezes the dynamic range, making soft sounds

louder and loud sounds softer. Furthermore, a compressor’s

attack and decay characteristics can be adjusted to modify

how punchy or sustained an audio signal sounds. Multi-band

compression, meanwhile, splits the input into three different

frequency bands for processing independent of each other;

accordingly, this type of effect can be thought of as combin-

ing compression with equalization.

DTX700 Reference Manual

 Flanger & Phaser

A flanger creates a swirling, metallic sound, similar to that

of a jet plane. While this effect operates using the same

basic principles as chorus effects, it uses shorter delay times

and also incorporates feedback to produce a very distinctive

swelling sound. Rather than being used constantly through-

out a song, it is more suited to selective use in specific sec-

tions in order to add variety. A phaser, meanwhile,

introduces a phase shift into the sound being processed

before returning it to the effect input using a feedback circuit

in order to produce a characteristic animated yet mellow

tone. Gentler overall than a flanger, this effect can be put to

use in a wider range of situations, and for example, is often

used with electric pianos to sweeten their sound in a variety

of ways.

 Distortion

As its name suggests, a distortion effect distorts the sound

fed into it. It produces a sound similar to that of an amplifier

turned up too high or fed with a signal that is already suffi-

ciently loud. This type of effect is widely used to add a

harsh, biting edge; furthermore, the resultant sound is char-

acterized by overall thickness and long sustain times. This

thickness comes from the large numbers of harmonics con-

tained within clipped signals. Meanwhile, the longer sustain

is not produced by the original sound being stretched; rather,

it is produced when the slowly-fading release portion that

cannot normally heard is amplified and distorted.

 Wah

A wah effect dynamically changes the frequency character-

istic of a filter in order to produce a highly unique filter-

sweep sound. Auto wah changes the frequency in a cyclic

manner using an LFO, while touch wah performs filter

sweeps in response to the volume of the input signal.

 Reverb

Reverb effects model the complex reverberation produced

by sounds within enclosed spaces. In this way, they add a

natural-sounding sustain, which produces a feeling of depth

and space. Furthermore, different types of reverb – such as

hall, room, plate, and stage – can be used to simulate the

sound of acoustic environments of varying sizes and con-

structions.

DTX700 Reference Manual

 Chorus

Chorus reproduces the sound of multiple instruments play-

ing in unison for a thicker, deeper tone. As all instruments

differ slightly from each other in terms of pitch and phase,

their playing together produces an overall sound that is

warmer and more spacious. In order to reproduce this type

of behavior, chorus effects make use of delay. Specifically, a

delayed, second version of the original signal is produced

and given a vibrato-type effect by varying its delay time over

a period of approximately one second using an LFO. When

this second version is mixed back into the original signal,

the resulting tone sounds as if multiple instruments are

being played in unison.

 Tremolo & Rotary

Tremolo effects are characterized by the way in which they

modulate volume in a cyclical fashion. An auto-pan effect,

meanwhile, moves the sound from left to right in a similar

cyclical manner, and a rotary speaker effect simulates the

distinctive vibrato of rotary-type speakers often used with

organs. In a rotary speaker, the horn and rotor are spun in

order to create highly unique sounds using the Doppler

Effect.

 Delay

Delay effects create a delayed version of the input signal,

and as such, they can be used for many different purposes,

such as creating a sense of spaciousness or thickening a

sound.

 Miscellaneous

This category contains effect types not included in the other

categories.

 Effect Parameters

Each of the above-mentioned effects includes a range of param-

eters allowing you to adjust the way in which it processes the

input signal. Using these parameters, the behavior of each

effect can be optimized in line with, for example, the type of

sound being processed or the type of music being played. While

the function of each of these parameters is described in the fol-

lowing table, it is good practice to also listen to how they actu-

ally change the sound of the respective effect in order to

achieve the best settings.

 Parameters with identical names

NOTE

• Certain effects contain parameters with identical names

yet performing different functions. In the following table,

the function of each such parameter is described sepa-

rately and the corresponding effects are identified.

Alternate Group (AltGroup)

Use this parameter to assign voices to alternate groups (i.e.,

monophonic sets of pads, only one of which can be producing a

sound at any time). If you do not want various individual voices

to be played together, they should be assigned to the same alter-

nate group. Whenever voices from the same alternate group are

triggered by playing the pads, the latter voice is given priority and

the earlier one is silenced. Set this parameter to “off” if you do

not want to assign to an alternate group.

Settings: off, hhOpen, hhClose, 1 to 124

NOTE

• The “hhOpen” and “hhClose” alternate groups operate in a

special way: If a voice from the “hhClose” group is triggered

after a voice from the “hhOpen” group, the hhOpen voice is

silenced and only the hhClose voice is played. No silencing of

the earlier sound is performed for any other triggering

sequence (for example, hhOpen followed by hhOpen; hhClose

followed by hhOpen; or hhClose followed by hhClose).
