Song Play Mode

Use this mode to select and play from 100 preset songs and 30 user songs. By using the mute function
you can easily create a minus-one playback and practice a drum or keyboard part to your original song
previously created as well as synchronize with other connected digital devices at a live performance.

The Concept of "song"

Track Structure

The song consists of 5 tracks: 2 sequence tracks (TR1 and TR2) and 3 backing tracks (pattern, chord, and
tempo).

Sequence track

(Record melody lines
or obligatos using a
MIDI keyboard)

Backing track

Sequence Tracks
You can record a melody or obligato to each sequence track in real-time just as you would record a track on a
sequencer.
Backing Tracks
The backing consists of 3 tracks: pattern (PAT TR), chord (CHO TR), and tempo (TMP TR). Create backing
tracks by setting the pattern, chord, and tempo changes in sequential order.
It is easy to create a song with an irregular beats or a song with ritardando or accelerando settings.

Types of Songs

You can create a total of 30 songs (No.101 to 130). The DTX also comes with 100 preset songs (No.1 to
100).
A The preset song contains drum kits which are set in advance and generate appropriate sounds. To keep the drum kit from automatically
switching, change the settings on the 17th display page (RecvCh 10PC) in Utility mode (P.118).
