If crosstalk is occurring (i.e., sound is produced by a pad other than the one that was struck), try the following.

• Ensure that trigger setups have been configured correctly.

• Ensure that the RejectLevel parameter from the Menu area’s Trigger/Pad/Crosstalk page is set appropriately.

(See page 48.)

• If using a separately-sold pad featuring a level adjuster, ensure that the level is set appropriately.

• Ensure that the MinLevel (Minimum Level) parameter from the Menu area’s Trigger/Pad/Pad Type page has been set appropriately.

(See page 47.)

If only one voice is produced when two pads are played simultaneously, try the following.

• Ensure that trigger setups have been configured correctly.

• Go to the Menu area’s Trigger/Pad/Pad Type page, select the pad for which a sound is not being produced, and raise the value of

its Gain parameter.

(See page 46.)

• Go to the Menu area’s Trigger/Pad/Pad Type page, select the pad for which a sound is not being produced, and lower the value of

its MinLevel (Minimum Level) parameter.

(See page 47.)

• Go to the Menu area’s Kit/Voice page and check whether both pads have been assigned to the same alternate group using the Alt-

Group parameter. In certain cases, this can lead to only one sound being produced.

(See page 20.)

• Ensure that the TrgAltGrp (Trigger Alternate Group) parameter from the Menu area’s Kit/MIDI/Assign page is set to “off”.

(See

page 23.)

If consistent, reliable trigger signals cannot be produced using an acoustic drum, try the following.

• Ensure that you are using a high-quality drum trigger such as the DT20, and that it is secured firmly in place using adhesive tape.

(Remember to also remove any old tape.)

• Carry out the checks listed above in the section “No sound is produced when a pad is struck, or the volume is lower than expected.”.

• Ensure that the signal cable is securely plugged into the jack on the DT20 or other drum trigger.

If closed hi-hat sounds cannot be played, proceed as follows.

• Ensure that the Type parameter from the Menu area’s Trigger/Pad/Pad Type page is set correctly.

(See page 46.)

If, when using a cymbal pad, edge and cup sounds cannot be played or the choking technique does not work, pro-

ceed as follows.

• Ensure that the Type parameter from the Menu area’s Trigger/Pad/Pad Type page is set correctly. (A suitable cymbal-pad type must

be selected for the pad being used.

See page 46.

)

If hi-hat splash sounds are not produced as expected, try the following.

• Ensure that the foot controller is correctly connected to the [HI-HAT CONTROL] trigger input jack.

• Adjust the setting of the FootSplashSens (Foot Splash Sensitivity) parameter from the Menu area’s Utility/Pad page. (Hi-hat splash

sounds will not be produced if “off” has been set here.

See page 40.

)

If a hi-hat controller connected via the [HH-KICK] trigger input jack does not work as expected, try the following.

• Ensure that the hi-hat controller is connected to the DTX700 using the correct type of cable.

• Ensure that you are using an HH65 Hi-hat Controller. (Other types will not operate correctly with the DTX700.)

• Ensure that the Cubase Remote function is not turned on.

Optional add-on products do not operate as expected.

Nothing happens when buttons on the front panel are pressed.
