Quick Guide Importing Audio Files WAV and AIFF audio files from your computer and other media can be imported into your DTX-MULTI 12 via USB memory devices. Referred to as "waves", these voices can then be assigned to pads and played in the same way as any other preset voice. NOTE • Only 16-bit audio files can be used with your DTX-MULTI 12. If the audio files you wish to use have been recorded with a differ- ent bit depth, please convert them to 16-bit in advance using, for example, the bundled DAW software. For details regarding the conversion method, refer to the DAW software's manual. • Your DTX-MULTI 12 can import audio files of up to approximately 23 seconds in length (in the case of 44.1-kHz, 16-bit audio). • It is important to note that even when the above conditions are satisfied, certain other factors may make audio files incompatible with the DTX-MULTI 12. 1 Using a computer, place the WAV or AIFF file(s) for importing at the root directory of a USB memory device. 2 Unplug the USB memory device from the computer and plug it into the instrument via the USB TO DEVICE port on the side panel. 3 Press the [KIT] button to open the Select Kit page and then select the drum kit to which the imported wave(s) will be assigned.

Failure to observe this precaution can lead to the USB memory device or the DTX-MULTI 12 being permanently damaged. • If the selected file is not 16-bit, the error message "Illegal wave data." will be displayed and the import process will be halted. In such a case, please convert the file to 16-bit using, for example, the bundled DAW software and then repeat the import process. 7 Once the audio file has been imported, the Pad Assign page will open. Select the pad to which the imported wave is to be assigned and press the [ENTER] button. IMPORT ≥PadAssign=º¡ CAUTION • If a voice has already been assigned to the selected pad, it will be deleted and replaced with the imported wave. NOTE • If you set PadAssign to "off", the imported wave will not be assigned to any pad. • Imported AIF and WAV audio files are stored as waves, or in other words, as one of the three types of DTX-MULTI 12 voices. As such, they can be freely assigned to pads at any time using the VOICE setting area (see page 56). Owner's Manual 25
