1Receive10ch

Determines whether or not the DTXTREME III receives MIDI channel messages over channel 10 from the external MIDI device. When set to on, the DTXTREME III will receive messages over MIDI channel 10. When set to off, the DTXTREME III will ignore them, meaning that the sound of the DTXTREME III will be triggered only by hitting the connected pad or pressing the Audition button.

CReceivePC10ch

Determines whether or not the DTXTREME III receives Program Change messages over MIDI channel 10 (which handles the part of the Drum Voice triggered by hitting the pads). If you want to change the Drum Kit number from the external MIDI device, this parameter should be set to on. Keep in mind that this parameter is effective only when the Receive PC parameter 2 is set to on.

DLocalCtrl (Local Control)

This determines whether or not the tone generator of the instrument responds to your pad playing. Normally, this should be set to “on” – since you’ll want to hear the sound of the DTXTREME III as you play it. When this parameter is set to “off,” no sound is produced even if you hit the pads, but the corresponding MIDI messages will be transmitted via MIDI. Also, the internal tone generator block will respond to messages received via MIDI. You may want to set this to “off” when you are recording your drum performance as MIDI data to another device, such as a sequencer or DAW.
