Reference KIT VOICE UTILITY Setting Area (UTIL) Directory A hierarchical directory system is used on memory devices in order to group files together according to type or application. In this regard, a "directory" is equivalent to a folder as used on a computer. As with files, you can assign names to individual directories. File operations are carried out inside a set of special directories that are created as follows within a USB memory device when it is formatted for use on the Format page (UTIL7-5). Please note that the DTX-MULTI 12 does not display this directory structure on-screen. \YAMAHA DTXMULTI ALL ALLKIT ALLWAV ALLPTN ALLTRG UTL All AllKit AllWave AllPattern AllTrigger Utility Format The operation of initializing a USB memory device is referred to as "formatting".
