About the Song The DTXPRESS II can internally store data for a maximum of 127 songs that can be played back freely. Song numbers 1-95 are preset songs and song data in those songs cannot be changed or rewritten. Song numbers 96-127 are user songs that can be used to record new performance data and also edit song data in. Song Makeup The Song consists of two sequencer tracks plus header data. Header data is written at the front of the song and holds information related to the song’s tempo, beat, program numbers (voice) for each MIDI channel and volume, etc. Header data is read every time the song is played from the beginning. Both tracks possess data for MIDI channels 1-16 (except system exclusive data). Durring song playback, the sequencer data that is written in the song will be transmitted to the DTXPRESS II’s tone generator to produce the song. Main Song and Pad Song Up to four songs can be played back simultaneously. The song that is selected in the Drum Kit Play mode (P. 6) is called the Main Song. Pressing the [>/] button will start playback of this song. The remaining three songs are called Pad Song(s). These songs are played back according to the trigger input (hitting a pad). Metronome The sequencer produces the metronome. The metronome can be used either alone or with the Song. Press the [CLICK] button, in any mode, to start the metronome. The metronome’s tempo, voice, etc. are set in the Utility mode [4. Sequencer Group] (P. 33). Song Playback Main Song Playback • Select a Song 1.
