Song Play

Selects from Preset Songs, User Songs and Songs
held on Memory Card. Using the Mute feature to
play back in "minus-one" settings, you can add
your own drum part to a song, which is useful
for solo rehearsals or "sync" performances.
About Songs
Song Structure
A song consists of two sequence tracks
(Tracks 1 and 2) and header data.
Header data
tempo
TR1
(Tracks 1)
program
etc...
TR2
(Tracks 2)
The header data at the beginning of the
song contains song information such as
tempo, time signature, and program change
and volume for each MIDI channel. The
data is automatically loaded when you
select a song.
Each sequence track can contain
performance information for MIDI channels
1 to 16, just as with other MIDI sequencers.
When you start song playback, this data is
sent to the DTXTREME's internal tone
generator for the sounds to be played back.
Song Types
The DTXTREME has two types of songs:
Main Song and Pad Song. The Main Song is
played back when you press the Start/Stop
button on the front panel. Each Pad Song
can be played back (triggered) when an
associated pad is hit. Up to one Main Song
and three Pad Songs can be played back
simultaneously. You can select the song
type in the Drum Kit/Song selection page
(page 11) but the assignment of pad to song
becomes the Pad Song. The Pad Song
assignment is set with the TrgFunc
parameter in Drum Kit Edit mode (page 29).
