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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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).
