Edit Section Memory, Buffer, and Store Operation When editing a drum kit, you need to be aware of the relationship between the storage memory and the working buffer. Every time you select (recall) a Preset kit or a User kit from the DTXTREME IIs internal memory or an external memory card, the drum kit data is copied to the working buffer. Internal memory Preset kit (ROM) External memory card 2. Copy to buffer User kit (RAM) Working buffer 1. Select a kit 3. Editing/Playing DRUM TRIGGER MODULE To save the current drum kit data, execute the store operation by pressing the STORE button. STORE Store Current Drumkit to Kit C001 Initkit When the above screen is shown, select the destination User kit number (U1 to U40, or C1 to C99) where your current data is stored. You do not need to select a new destination if you edit an existing User kit and overwrite it with edited data. However, if you edit one of Preset kits (P1 to P90) and want to store a new drum kit, you need to specify a User kit number in the internal memory (U1 to U40) or on the memory card (C1 to C99). After selecting the destination, press the ENTER/YES button. The following confirmation message will appear in the display. ENTER YES n Because of the working buffer, you can select and edit any drum kit even when it is a Preset kit (read-only data). When creating your original drum kit, first select an existing Preset or User kit, edit it, and then store as a new User kit. Drum kit data in the buffer will be used for everything - for your performance or for editing. Once you edit any data (change the data from its stored status), the rightmost dot in the LED display will light. Dot lit n The LED display may show the current tempo (page 76). If you select another drum kit at this point, the dot will go out. This means other drum kit data is newly copied to the working buffer, overwriting the drum data you were working with. If you wish to save what you edited, make sure to do so BEFORE selecting another drum kit. Store Current Drumkit to Kit Are You Sure ? [Yes/No] n If you select C1 to C99 with no memory card inserted to the CARD slot, "No Card" will be shown and the store operation cannot be continued. Insert a proper memory card (page 85) or store the data to internal memory. Press the ENTER/YES button again to execute the store operation. When complete, "Done." will be shown briefly. Press the EXIT/NO button to cancel the operation. In either case, the display will return to the default Play mode screen. Note that the dot in the LED display goes out after you execute the store operation. You can store the current drum kit any time during editing. Save your edits often - frequent updates ensure that your important data is maintained. 35
