Utility Features Directory Structure and Stored Data Type A properly formatted memory card has the following directory tree. Each operation in the CARD pages (read, write, rename, delete, and so on) is performed to a specific directory in the tree, depending on the type of data that is selected. YAMAHA DTXTREME SMF @ XXXX.MID ALLDATA 1 SYSTEM 2 ONEKIT 3 ALLKIT 4 ONECHAIN 5 ALLCHAIN 6 ONESONG 7 ALLSONG 8 ALLVOICE 9 AUTOLOAD ) VOLUME ! 1 The ALLDATA directory stores a file that contains all setting data for DTXTREME IIs. This directory is used when you select all data for the target data type in each CARD operation. 2 The SYSTEM directory stores a file that contains settings available in SYSTEM pages in utility features. This directory is used when you select system for the target data type in each CARD operation. 3 The ONEKIT directory stores a file that contains settings for the current drum kit (in the working buffer). This directory is used when you select one kit for the target data type in each CARD operation. 4 The ALLKIT directory stores a file that contains settings for all User kits (U1 to U40). This directory is used when you select all kit for the target data type in each CARD operation. 5 The ONECHAIN directory stores a file that contains settings for the current chain (in the working buffer). This directory is used when you select oneChain for the target data type in each CARD operation. 6 The ALLCHAIN directory stores a file that contains settings for all chains (1 to 32). This directory is used when you select allChain for the target data type in each CARD operation. 7 The ONESONG directory stores a file that contains settings for the current User song. This directory is used when you select oneSong for the target data type in each CARD operation. 8 The ALLSONG directory stores a file that contains settings for all User songs (U1 to U32). This directory is used when you select all song for the target data type in each CARD operation. 9 The ALLVOICE directory stores a file that contains settings for all user voices. This directory is used when you select allVoice for the target data type in each CARD operation. n User voices are created using external System Exclusive parameter change data. Since they cannot be created on the DTXTREME IIs itself, you will not normally select allVoice. ) The AUTOLOAD directory is used to load sample files. If you store an AIFF or WAV audio file in this directory on the computer, the DTXTREME IIs will automatically load that file when it is turned on. You can use the auto-loaded sample as an original drum voice. For your information, an auto-loaded sample must have an eight-character name beginning with a two-digit number (01 to 99), followed by a character that specifies which slider can control the volume level of that audio file (drum voice). The character must be C, H, K, M, S or T-CYMBAL, HI-HAT, KICK, MISC, SNARE or TOM. Plus, you need to end the name with a three-character extension. Names such as "01SFAT.AIF" (No.01 Fat Snare) or "32CSWISH.WAV" (No.32 Swish Cymbal) enable to control the sample volume with an appropriate slider. n The AUTOLOAD directory is used only in association with a computer. You cannot use it with CARD operations. ! The VOLUME directory is a parent directory used to store a waveform sample captured on the DTXTREME IIs. If you create a volume (page 87), it will be created as a subdirectory contained in the VOLUME directory. You can use this subdirectory to store your captured samples, and specify it as wave directory (page 47) for your custom drum kit samples. n You can use your computer to make a volume (subdirectory) inside the VOLUME directory. Once you make a volume, it can also be used to store all necessary files - drum kits, songs, chains, waveform samples, and even AIFF or WAV audio files created on the computer - for specific situations, such as recording sessions or live performances, for which you want to load all necessary files with a single CARD operation. You need a computer to transfer the necessary files to the subdirectory (they cannot be transferred using the CARD operation). @ When you want to play an SMF (Standard MIDI File Type 0) MIDI file on the DTXTREME IIs, specify its name with a eight-character name beginning with a two-digit number (01 to 99) plus a ".MID" extension (i.e., MYSONG.MID) and put it in the root directory (where the YAMAHA directory resides) of the memory card. You can select and play the MIDI file when you specify a song from the card (C1 to C99) with the appropriate card inserted in the CARD slot. (Continued to next page) 86
