Using the Supplied Data

When using the user kits and their associated data supplied by the CD-ROM, you need beforehand to copy that data to the memory card using a SmartMedia reader/writer (sold separately) connected to the personal computer.

Before using data ﬁles from the supplied CD-ROM, read through the “Memory Card Feature” section in the Owner’s Manual (page 85), for you to better understand what each data ﬁle makes for the DTXTREME IIs.

Format the memory card if necessary referring to “Formatting a

Memory Card” (page 85). Set the memory card to the SmartMedia reader/writer attached to the computer.

Copy ﬁles in each subfolder of the SOUNDS folder on the supplied CD-ROM, into an appropriate location in the parent folder (\YAMAHA\DTXTREME) on the memory card:

Folders named “KIT” contain data ﬁles for additional drum kits. Copy each “KIT” folder directly into the VOLUME foloder (\YAMAHA\DTXTREME\VOLUME) on the memory card.

Other folders contain waveform data ﬁles, which you can assign and use as additional drum voices (page 49). Copy these ﬁles into a volume folder (\YAMAHA\DTXTREME\VOLUME\volume) created on the computer, or using the “Creating a Volume” procedure (page

87).

Set the memory card to the CARD slot on the DTXTREME IIs. Import the copied ﬁles in a speciﬁc manner. Refer to “Loading a Data ﬁle” (page 88) as necessary.
