2. Channel Messages

Channel messages on MIDI channel 10 are not received when the Rcv10ch
parameter on the Menu area’s Utility/MIDI page 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 DTX700 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 = 127, LSB = any value: GM drum voices (see Note 1)
MSB = 125, LSB = 1: Drum voices, User kits 1 to 100 (see Note 3)
* 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 drum kit having the same number as 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.

value corresponds to Variation Send level.
2.2.21 Data Increment (96), Decrement (97)
Data Increment and Decrement messages are received but not
transmitted.
2.2.22 RPN
$00/$00 Pitch bend sensitivity: Received but not transmitted.
$00/$01 Fine tuning: Received but not transmitted.
$00/$02 Coarse tuning: Received but not transmitted.
$7f/$7f NULL: Received but not transmitted.
2.2.23 HH Controllers (1 to 95)
If, on the Menu area’s Kit/Pad page, the HH Func parameter
is set to “MIDI” and the HH MIDI Type parameteris set to any value
between “CC01” and “CC95”, a Control Change message with the
corresponding control change number will be sent whenever the hi-hat
controller is pressed.
2.2.24 Kit Transmit MIDI (1 to 95)
If the CC No parameter from the Menu area’s Kit/MIDI/Other page is
