PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical

shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or

radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the

cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where

anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The

required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Use the specified adaptor (page 57) only. Using the wrong adaptor

can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust

which may have accumulated on it.

• This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt

to disassemble or modify the internal components in any way. If it

should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately

and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or

wet conditions, place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or

glasses) containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If

any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the

power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service

personnel.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.

A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.

• When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the

power switch and disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. Then

have the device inspected by Yamaha service personnel.

• The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.

• It emits unusual smells or smoke.

• Some object has been dropped into the instrument.

• There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage

to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a

multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or

possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet,

always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can

damage it.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not

to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might

accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are

using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs,

immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from

the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is

still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not

using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power

cord from the wall AC outlet.

• Use only the stand/rack specified for the instrument. When attaching

the stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so

could cause damage to the internal components or result in the

instrument falling over.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components,

turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on

or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum.

• Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum

levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the

instrument to set the desired listening level.

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps

on the panel. This could cause physical injury to you or others,

damage to the instrument or other property, or operational failure.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the

instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches

or connectors.

• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of

time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause

permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or

ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Even when the power switch is in standby status, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the

instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

1 Ensure that your DTX700 is turned off (i.e.,

the screen is not lit).

2 Insert the power adaptor’s DC plug into the

[ ] connector on the rear

panel.

3 Hook the power adaptor’s cord around the

cord clip to secure it in place.

4 Plug the power adaptor’s AC power cord into

an AC wall socket or another electrical outlet.

Your DTX700 does not come with built-in speakers. In order to

hear it, therefore, you will need to connect headphones or a

DTX-series monitor system, such as the MS40DR.

 Connecting Speakers

Connect your speakers to the OUTPUT [L/MONO] and [R]

jacks (standard mono-audio).

 Connecting Headphones

Connect your headphones to the [PHONES] jack (standard

stereo-audio). The [PHONES] knob on the control panel can

be used to adjust the volume of the headphones.

You can connect a portable music player or another similar

source of audio to your DTX700 via the [AUX IN] (auxiliary

input) stereo mini-jack. This makes it possible to play along

with your favorite songs.

NOTICE

• Whenever connecting other devices, ensure that the

cables you use have plugs that match the input or out-

put connectors on those devices.

• Before making connections, furthermore, you should

also turn the volume on the other devices fully down.

• When all connections have been made, use each

device’s volume controller to balance its output with

that of the DTX700.

Connecting the Adaptor

CAUTION

• Excessive bending can damage the power adap-

tor’s cord and create a fire hazard. Ensure, there-

fore, that the power cord is not bent at an extreme

angle when wrapped around the clip.

WARNING

• Use only the power adaptor that came with your

DTX700.

CAUTION

• The DTX700 remains charged and draws a small

amount of power even when the (Standby/On)

button is set to the Standby position. For this rea-

son, you should always unplug the power adaptor

from the wall socket if the instrument will not be

used for an extended period of time.

Connecting Your DTX700 to a Computer

Although the DTX700 is exceptionally powerful and versatile

all by itself, connecting it to a computer via USB allows for

even greater convenience and flexibility. When connected in

this way, MIDI data can be freely transferred between the drum

trigger module and the computer, allowing the DTX700 to be

used as an input device for computer-based music software. In

this section, you’ll learn how to make the necessary connec-

tions.

NOTE

• As the DTX700 has no built-in speakers, you will need to

connect headphones or an external amplifier and speakers

in order to hear it. For details, see page 13.

• A USB cable is not included. In order to connect your

DTX700 to a computer, choose a USB A-B cable of no more

than 3 meters in length.

1 Using your computer, download the newest

Yamaha USB-MIDI driver from the following

web page.

After you click Download, select a convenient location for

the installation file.

http://dtxdrums.yamaha.com/downloads/

NOTE

• Information on system requirements is also provided on

the above web page.

• The USB-MIDI driver may be revised and updated with-

out prior notice. Before installing, visit the above web

page to confirm the latest related information and ensure

that you have the most up-to-date version.

2 Install the USB MIDI driver on your computer.

For instructions on installing, refer to the guide included

with the driver installer. When asked to connect your

Yamaha product and your computer, do so as shown below.

 Precautions when using the [USB TO

HOST] port

If proper care is not taken when connecting your DTX700 to

a computer via the [USB TO HOST] port, either or both of

the devices may freeze or data may be corrupted or perma-

nently lost. Be sure, therefore, to observe the following pre-

cautions at this time. If your computer or DTX700 should

freeze, restart the application being used, reboot the com-

puter, or turn the drum trigger module off once and then back

on.

NOTICE

• Use a USB A-B cable of no more than 3 meters in

length.

• Before connecting to your computer via the [USB TO

HOST] port, restore it from any power-saving mode

(such as Suspend, Sleep, or Standby).

• Connect the computer via the [USB TO HOST] port

before turning on the DTX700.

• Be sure to always perform the following steps before

turning the DTX700 on or off and either plugging or

unplugging the USB cable.

• Quit all applications.

• Ensure that no data is being sent from the

DTX700. (Data is transmitted by striking the pads

or playing patterns.)

• When connected to a computer, allow at least 6

seconds to pass between turning the DTX700 on

or off and plugging or unplugging the USB cable.

Connecting Your DTX700 to a Computer

 Recording Performances using a DAW

Application

[Definition] DAW Application

DAW is an abbreviation of digital audio worksta-

tion. DAW applications such as Cubase can be

used to record, edit, and mix audio and MIDI

data on a computer.

The following section will describe how to connect your

DTX700 to a computer and prepare for recording perfor-

mances using a DAW application running on it. Normally,

when playing in order to record on a computer, performance

data produced by striking the pads is first sent to the com-

puter and then returned to the instrument in order to play its

internal tone generator. If local control of the DTX700 is

turned on at this time, performance data will also be sent

directly to the tone generator, and as a result, the direct and

returned data will overlap, making it sound as if the pads are

being struck twice.

Most DAW applications allow MIDI Thru to be turned on,

and therefore, you can setup your system as shown below

with local control of the DTX700 turned off and the DAW

application returning performance data to the tone generator.

In this way, performances can be recorded in comfort with-

out each strike being heard twice.

We will now describe how to setup parameters for recording

your performances, first on the DTX700, and then within the

DAW application.

 Preparing the DTX700

Using the following procedure, turn off DTX700 local con-

trol.

1 Use [MENU] m [Utility] m [MIDI] to access the

MIDI parameters, and set LocalCtrl to “off”.

2 Press the [STORE] button to store your new

setting.

With local control turned off in this way, performance data

produced by striking the pads will not be sent to the internal

tone generator.

 Setting DAW-Application Parameters

Within your DAW application, turn on MIDI Thru. This set-

ting ensures that, when performance data is being recorded

on a track within your application, it is also returned to the

external MIDI system.

For example, let’s assume that performance data is being

recorded on Track 3 by your DAW application. In addition,

we’ll also assume that MIDI Channel 1 has been set for the

return of performance data. If MIDI Thru is now turned on

for Track 3, the DAW application will return the perfor-

mance data to the DTX700 on MIDI Channel 1 as it is being

recorded, and the instrument’s internal tone generator will

sound as if it is being played directly.

NOTE

• For details on how to turn on MIDI Thru, refer to the man-

ual that came with your DAW application.

• If local control on the DTX700 and MIDI Thru within your

DAW application are both turned off, no performance

data will be sent to the internal tone generator, either

directly or indirectly. As a result, no sound will be pro-

duced.

 Playing the DTX700 using MIDI Data from

a DAW Application

As described below, you can setup your DTX700 to operate

as a multi-timbral tone generator for your DAW application.

In this way, you can easily integrate the instrument’s high-

quality MIDI tone generator into your music-production

setup. For details on how to connect the DTX700 to your

computer, see page 52.

1 Set each of the tracks within your DAW appli-

cation to output their MIDI data to the

DTX700.

DTX700 Owner’s Manual

Troubleshooting

For more troubleshooting tips, refer to the Reference Manual PDF document.

See page 5 for details on downloading this manual.

The DTX700 either produces no

sound or is unable to detect the

pads being struck.

•Ensure that the pads are correctly connected to the DTX700’s trigger input jacks.

•Ensure that the DTX700 is properly connected to headphones or an external audio system,

such as an amplifier and/or speakers. (See page 13.)

•Ensure that the amplifier and/or speakers connected to the DTX700 are turned on and are not

set to the lowest possible volume.

•Ensure that the [MASTER] knob is not turned down. (See page 19.)

•Ensure that the cables you are using are in good condition.

The DTX700 produces sound

but the sensitivity (i.e., volume)

is too low.

• If any of your pads feature a pad controller, ensure that they are turned up.

•Ensure that the sliders for the sounds in question are turned up. (See page 11.)

Double triggers are being pro-

duced.

If the pad in question features a pad controller, try turning it downward.

The DTX700 receives no switch

or trigger signals whatsoever.

Restore the default settings (i.e., the Factory Set). (See page 22.)

Sounds play endlessly and do

not stop.

Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [EXIT] button to silence all sounds.

The pad controller function

does not work as expected.

Ensur

e that you are using an XP100SD or another pad featuring a pad controller.

The hi-hat’s open and closed

sounds are not produced.

Ensure that the DBL BASS parameter is not turned on. (See page 32.)

The Factory Set (i.e., default set-

tings) needs to be restored.

See the instructions on page 22. They describe how to reset all internal DTX700 settings to their

default condition.

The DTX700 turns off unexpect-

edly.

Ensure that the Auto Power-Off function is not turned on. (See page 14.)

The Factory Set (i.e., default set-

tings) is restored whenever the

DTX700 is turned on.

Turn off the PowerOn Auto function. (See page 22.)

The kit changes whenever a new

song is selected.

By default, your DTX700 always chooses the best kit for each song. To prevent it from doing so,

turn on the Kit Lock function. (See page 39.)

Song parts (i.e., non-drum

parts) do not play.

Ensure that the accompaniment parts have not been muted. (See page 37.)

The click-track (or metronome)

does not play.

Certain sounds (such as snare

or kick) do not play.

Ensure that the sliders for the sounds in question are turned up. (See page 41.)

Drum kits cannot be changed by

turning the dial.

Ensure that the Kit Lock function is not turned on. (See page 39.)

Performances cannot be

ecorded.

Recording is not possible while the Menu area is being accessed (as a result of pressing the

[MENU] button). Ensure that you leave this area before attempting to record a performance.

Hi-hat closed sounds are not

produced.

Refer to the Reference Manual PDF document.

Cubase Remote mode cannot be

deactivated.

See page 54 of this booklet.

These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: Power supply/AC power adaptor Water warning • Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it. • Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument. • Use the specified adaptor (page 57) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating. • Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. • Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.

Connecting Your DTX700 to a Computer Making Music with a Computer  Recording Performances using a DAW Application [Definition] DAW Application DAW is an abbreviation of digital audio workstation. DAW applications such as Cubase can be used to record, edit, and mix audio and MIDI data on a computer. The following section will describe how to connect your DTX700 to a computer and prepare for recording performances using a DAW application running on it. Normally, when playing in order to record on a computer, performance data produced by striking the pads is first sent to the computer and then returned to the instrument in order to play its internal tone generator. If local control of the DTX700 is turned on at this time, performance data will also be sent directly to the tone generator, and as a result, the direct and returned data will overlap, making it sound as if the pads are being struck twice. Basic Operation We will now describe how to setup parameters for recording your performances, first on the DTX700, and then within the DAW application.  Preparing the DTX700 Using the following procedure, turn off DTX700 local control. 1 Use [MENU] m [Utility] m [MIDI] to access the MIDI parameters, and set LocalCtrl to “off”. 2 Press the [STORE] button to store your new setting. With local control turned off in this way, performance data produced by striking the pads will not be sent to the internal tone generator. Sound is produced  Setting DAW-Application Parameters Within your DAW application, turn on MIDI Thru. This setting ensures that, when performance data is being recorded on a track within your application, it is also returned to the external MIDI system. Within DTX700 On Trigger Off For example, let’s assume that performance data is being recorded on Track 3 by your DAW application. In addition, we’ll also assume that MIDI Channel 1 has been set for the return of performance data. If MIDI Thru is now turned on for Track 3, the DAW application will return the performance data to the DTX700 on MIDI Channel 1 as it is being recorded, and the instrument’s internal tone generator will sound as if it is being played directly. Internal tone generator No sound is produced. Local Control Settings Most DAW applications allow MIDI Thru to be turned on, and therefore, you can setup your system as shown below with local control of the DTX700 turned off and the DAW application returning performance data to the tone generator. In this way, performances can be recorded in comfort without each strike being heard twice. IN • For details on how to turn on MIDI Thru, refer to the manual that came with your DAW application. • If local control on the DTX700 and MIDI Thru within your DAW application are both turned off, no performance data will be sent to the internal tone generator, either directly or indirectly. As a result, no sound will be produced. Computer USB TO HOST port DTX700 NOTE OUT OUT Internal tone generator  Playing the DTX700 using MIDI Data from a DAW Application Trigger Local control LocalCtrl =“off” IN MIDI Thru turned on within DAW application. As described below, you can setup your DTX700 to operate as a multi-timbral tone generator for your DAW application. In this way, you can easily integrate the instrument’s highquality MIDI tone generator into your music-production setup. For details on how to connect the DTX700 to your computer, see page 52. 1 Set each of the tracks within your DAW application to output their MIDI data to the DTX700. 2 Play MIDI performance data using the DAW application.

By default, your DTX700 always chooses the best kit for each song. To prevent it from doing so, turn on the Kit Lock function. (See page 39.) Song parts (i.e., non-drum parts) do not play. Ensure that the accompaniment parts have not been muted. (See page 37.) The click-track (or metronome) does not play. Certain sounds (such as snare or kick) do not play. Ensure that the sliders for the sounds in question are turned up. (See page 41.) Drum kits cannot be changed by turning the dial. Ensure that the Kit Lock function is not turned on. (See page 39.) Performances cannot be recorded. Recording is not possible while the Menu area is being accessed (as a result of pressing the [MENU] button). Ensure that you leave this area before attempting to record a performance. Hi-hat closed sounds are not produced. Refer to the Reference Manual PDF document. Cubase Remote mode cannot be deactivated. See page 54 of this booklet.
