Settings P004 to P128 or U001 to U050 CAUTION • The currently selected User pattern is overwritten as a result of this procedure. Be sure, therefore, to always save important data on a USB memory device or the like before copying patterns. NOTE • Demo patterns cannot be copied. PTN4-6 Exchange Patterns page From the Exchange Patterns page, you can swap a pair of User patterns.

SMFs contain sequenced MIDI data and have a ".mid" file extension. It should be noted that the DTXMULTI 12 supports Format 0 SMFs only.

Select the SMF to be imported and then press the [ENTER] button once again. You will be asked to confirm that you wish to proceed. ≥≥≥Import≥SMF≥≥ ≥Are≥you≥sure? 3 To import the selected SMF, press the [ENTER] button. Alternatively, press the [EXIT] button to return to the previous page without importing. NOTE • If the currently selected User pattern already contains pattern data, it will be overwritten with the imported data. The message "Now importing..." will be displayed during the import process. CAUTION • Do not unplug the USB memory device from the USB TO DEVICE port or turn off either the USB memory device or the DTX-MULTI 12 while data is being imported. Failure to observe this precaution can lead to the USB memory device or the DTXMULTI 12 being permanently damaged. NOTE • Only standard MIDI files of Format 0 can be imported. • In certain cases where a User pattern created from an imported SMF is looped, voices may not change as expected when playback jumps from the end back to the beginning, and instead, the voices settings from the end of the pattern will be maintained throughout. Specifically, this happens when program change data from the SMF's header is not read upon return to the start of the pattern. To prevent this type of unintended situation, move any program change messages slightly back from the SMF header to ensure that they will be correctly read. 80 Owner's Manual
