■ FOOT SW Jack
The Foot Switch jack is used to connect an optional hi-hat
controller (FC4 or FC5, etc.), hi-hat controller (HH65,
etc.), or foot controller (FC7) to the DTX-MULTI 12.
Within the instrument's display, a signal input via this jack
√¤''
is identified as .
Once you have told the DTX-MULTI 12 which type of
controller or foot switch is connected, you can then select
from a range of useful functions to assign to it. A number
of typical examples are described below.
NOTE
• Be sure to always turn off the DTX-MULTI 12 before connecting a controller
or foot switch. If you do not follow this precaution, the controller or foot
switch may not function correctly.
● Using an HH65 as a bass drum pedal
[Function]
With parameters configured as described below, an HH65
Hi-hat Controller can be used to play bass-drum voices and
the like. As with acoustic drums, furthermore, the tone of
the sound produced can be influenced by how fast or slow
you depress the controller. In addition, drum sounds can be
produced without the vibration and mechanical noise typi-
cal of acoustic bass-drum pedals.
[Setup]
• With the DTX-MULTI 12 turned off, connect the HH65 Hi-
hat Controller via the FOOT SW jack.
• Turn on the DTX-MULTI 12.
• On the Foot Switch Input page (UTIL4-2), set FootSwIn-
Sel to "HH65". (See page 89.)
• On the Pad Function page (UTIL4-1), select
then set Func to "off". (See page 88.)
• Open the Select Voice page (VCE1) and choose a voice,
such as a bass drum, to be assigned to
page 56.)
● Playing sounds using an FC4 or FC5
[Function]
With parameters configured as described below, you can
play sounds by operating an FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch. Trig-
ger signals generated in this way have a fixed velocity, and
therefore, they are ideal for playing effect sounds, patterns,
and waves.
[Setup]
• With the DTX-MULTI 12 turned off, connect the FC4 or
FC5 Foot Switch via the FOOT SW jack.
• Turn on the DTX-MULTI 12.
• On the Foot Switch Input page (UTIL4-2), set FootSwIn-
Sel to "ftSw". (See page 89.)
• On the Pad Function page (UTIL4-1), select
then set Func to "off". (See page 88.)
• Open the Select Voice page (VCE1) and choose a preset
voice, pattern, or wave to be assigned to
page 56.)
● Changing kits or patterns using an FC4 or FC5
[Function]
With parameters configured as described below, you can
use an FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch to change a range of differ-
ent settings. For example, you could operate a foot switch
to select the next kit or pattern, to increase or decrease the
tempo by 1, to tap the tempo, or to turn the click-track on
or off. Furthermore, you can also set a MIDI Control
Change message number and value to be sent when the foot
switch is depressed.
[Setup]
• With the DTX-MULTI 12 turned off, connect the FC4 or
FC5 Foot Switch via the FOOT SW jack.
• Turn on the DTX-MULTI 12.
• On the Foot Switch Input page (UTIL4-2), set FootSwIn-
Sel to "ftSw". (See page 89.)
• On the Pad Function page (UTIL4-1), select
then set Func to the function you want to control using the
foot switch. (See page 88.)
●
Adjusting volume (or other MIDI Control
HH65
Change values) using an FC7
[Function]
With parameters configured as described below, you can
adjust volume and many other MIDI Control Change val-
ues by changing the pedal angle of an FC7 Foot Controller
(in order to send MIDI Control Change messages). The
√¤''
and
FC7 retains its current pedal angle after you remove your
foot, and therefore, it is ideal for making minute changes to
the controlled parameter.
