Troubleshooting
Sounds do not stop, are distorted, or are intermittent
and stuttered, etc.
Check the following if unexpected sounds are produced
when playing an external tone generator.
● Access the external instrument's MIDI channel settings and
ensure that they match the MIDI channel on which the DTX-
MULTI 12 is sending data.
Check the following if all of the pads are producing sounds
at very high volumes (or high velocities).
● Open the Input Gain page for each pad ([SHIFT] + [UTILITY] →
TRG2 → TRG2-1 → TRG2-1-1) and ensure that the Gain
parameter is not set too high. (See page 101.)
● Open the Velocity Curve page for each pad ([SHIFT] + [UTIL-
ITY] → TRG2 → TRG2-1 → TRG2-1-2) and ensure that the Vel-
Curve parameter is set appropriately. (See page 101.)
● Open the Trigger Velocity page for each of the pads ([MIDI] →
MIDI1 → MIDI1-7) and ensure that the TrgVel parameter is set
appropriately. If, for example, this parameter is set to "127", high
velocities will be produced even when the pad is struck lightly.
(See page 64.)
● Ensure that you are using only the recommended Yamaha
external pads. Products from other manufacturers can output
excessively large signals.
Check the following if sounds output from the DTX-MULTI
12 appear to be distorted.
● Ensure that effects have been set appropriately. Sound can be
distorted with certain combinations of effect type and parameter
settings. (See pages 48, 49, 50, 59, 68, 78.)
● Open the Filter page for the voices assigned to each of the pads
([VOICE] → VCE3 → VCE3-4) and ensure that filters have been
setup appropriately. Depending on the type of sound being fil-
tered, certain resonance settings (Q) can produce distortion.
(See page 58.)
● Ensure that the MASTER dial is not set to too high a volume,
causing clipping to occur.
Check the following if voices play endlessly and do not stop.
● Open the Receive Key-Off page ([MIDI] → MIDI1 → MIDI1-5)
and check the setting for the RcvKeyOff parameter. If set to
"off", certain types of voice will play endlessly when triggered.
(See page 64.) You can silence all voices at any time by holding
down the [SHIFT] button and pressing the [MIDI] button.
Check the following if sounds stop unexpectedly during
rolls and flams.
● Open the Playing Mode and MIDI Note pages ([MIDI] → MIDI1
→ MIDI1-1, MIDI1-2) for the pads in question and check their
settings. Delete any unnecessary note assignments for stack or
alternate playing.
● Open the Mono/Poly page ([VOICE] → VCE5 → VCE5-1) and
ensure that the Mono/Poly parameter is set to "poly". (See page
60.)
● Open the Double Trigger Prevention page for the pad in ques-
tion ([SHIFT] + [UTILITY] → TRG2 → TRG2-1 → TRG2-1-5)
and reduce the setting for the RejectTime parameter. (See page
102.)
Check the following if no sound is produced when the
pads are played by hand.
● Open the Select Trigger Setup page ([SHIFT] + [UTILITY] →
TRG1) and ensure that "P04:Hand" or "P05:Finger is selected.
(See page 100.)
● Open the Pad Type page for each pad ([SHIFT] + [UTILITY] →
TRG2 → TRG2-1) and ensure that the Type parameter is set for
playing by hand. (See page 100.)

Owner's Manual
Check the following if the DTX-MULTI 12 sounds out of
tune or seems to be playing the wrong note.
● Open the Master Tune page ([UTILITY] → UTIL1 → UTIL1-2)
and ensure that the setting for the M.Tune parameter is not too
far removed from "0". (See page 83.)
● If you are concerned about the pitch of a wave, open the Voice
Tuning page for that wave ([VOICE] → VCE2 → VCE2-1) and
ensure that the setting for the Tune parameter is not too far
removed from "+ 0.00". (See page 57.)
● If you are concerned about the pitch of a pattern, open the
Transpose page for that pattern ([VOICE] → VCE2 → VCE2-1)
and ensure that the setting for the Transpose parameter is not
too far removed from "+ 0". (See page 57.)
Check the following if effects produce no changes in the
sound.
● Ensure that none of the effect bypass switches have been
turned on. (See page 83.)
● Open the Effect Bypass page for the entire instrument ([UTIL-
ITY] → UTIL1 → UTIL1-6), and ensure that the applied effects
have not been bypassed. (See page 83.)
● Open the Master EQ Bypass page ([UTILITY] → UTIL3 →
UTIL3-3) and ensure that the MEQ Bypass parameter is set to
"off". (See page 87.)
● Open the Variation Send, Chorus Send, and Reverb Send
pages for individual voices ([VOICE] → VCE4 → VCE4-1,
VCE4-2, VCE4-3) and ensure that appropriate effect-send lev-
els are set on each. (See page 59.)
● Open the Chorus Send and Reverb Send pages for the cur-
rently selected kit ([KIT] → KIT3 → KIT3-1, KIT3-2) and ensure
that appropriate effect-send levels are set on each. (See page
48.)
Values cannot be set or buttons do nothing when
pressed, etc.
Check the following if pattern playback does not start
when the [ A ] button is pressed.
● Ensure that an empty pattern has not been selected.
● Open the MIDI Sync page ([UTILITY] → UTIL6 → UTIL6-6) and
confirm that MIDI Sync is set as required. If this parameter is set
to "ext", patterns will only playback when MIDI Clock messages
are being received from an external MIDI sequencer or com-
puter; meanwhile, if MIDI Sync is set to "auto", playback will be
synchronized to MIDI Clock messages whenever they are
received. (See page 91.)
Perform the following if a pattern loops endlessly and does
not stop.
● Silence all voices by holding down the [SHIFT] button and
pressing the [MIDI] button. This action can be performed at any
time.
Note the following regarding wave playback speeds.
● Waves have fixed tempos. They will always play at the tempo of
the original imported file regardless of the drum kit tempo and
other similar settings.
Carry out the following if the value is displayed as "---" and
cannot be changed.
● Open the Pad Function page (UTIL4-1) for the pad in question
and ensure that the Func parameter is set to "off". (See page
88.)
● Open the MIDI Note page (MIDI1-2) for the pad in question and
ensure that the Note parameter for all layers (A to D) is not set
to "off". (See page 63.)
Check the following if pads 10 to 12 cannot be set.
● Open the Pad 10-12 Switch page ([UTILITY] → UTIL4 →
UTIL4-3) and ensure that the Pad10-12 parameter is set to
"enable". (See page 89.)
