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.
