2. Channel Messages
Channel messages on MIDI channel 10 are not received when the Rcv10ch
parameter on the UTILITY setting area's Channel-10 Receive page (UTIL6-1) is set
to "off".
2.1 Key On & Key Off
Key On and Key Off messages are transmitted and received.
Range of notes received: 0 (C-2) to 127 (G8)
Velocity range: 1 to 127 (i.e., Note On only)
2.2 Control Change
The internal sequencer can record and play back all varieties of Control Change
message; accordingly, the DTX-MULTI12 can both transmit and receive all such
messages. Details pertaining to the internal tone generator and drum trigger
function are described below.
2.2.1 Bank Select MSB (0), LSB (32)
Bank Select MSB and LSB messages are transmitted and received.
MSB = 0, LSB = any value: GM instrument voices
MSB = 63, LSB = any value: Instrument voices
MSB = 127, LSB = any value: GM drum voices (see Note 1)
MSB = 125, LSB = 0: Drum voices, Preset kits (see Note 2)
MSB = 125, LSB = 1: Drum voices, User kits 1 to 100 (see Note 3)
MSB = 125, LSB = 2: Drum voices, User kits 101 to 200 (see Note 4)
* Note 1: General MIDI drum voices
Only program number 1 is received, and the corresponding GM preset kit is
selected.
* Note 2: Drum voices, Preset kits
The Preset kit having the same number as the received program number is
selected.
* Note 3: Drum voices, User-1 kits
The User kit having the same number as the received program number is
selected.
* Note 4: Drum voices, User-2 kits
The User kit having a number 100 greater than the received program number is
selected.
In all of these cases, a drum voice can be selected for MIDI channels other than
channel 10; however, the drum map used is identical to that for channel 10.
2.2.2 Modulation (1)
Modulation messages are received but not transmitted.
2.2.3 Foot Controller (4)
