Copying WAV/AIFF files as drum sounds (Tone Load)
●The Rhythm and Tone Load functions cannot be used
when tracks are bounced directly to a CD (p. 59).
●Wave data in the following formats can be imported.
You cannot import wave data in other formats.
• Use “ISO 9660 Level 2, Mode 1” to write the data to the
CD-R/RW disc.
• WAV or AIFF format
• Mono or Stereo
• 8-bit or 16-bit
• Sampling Rate: 44.1 kHz
●Compressed WAV files or AIFF files cannot be loaded.
●Extremely short waveform data (less than
approximately 100 msec) cannot be loaded.
●The loop point settings within an AIFF file will be
ignored.
●Add the extension “WAV” to imported WAV files and
the extension “AIF” to imported AIFF files.
●You can load drum sounds of up to 13 seconds for a
single drum kit.
(Example)
Kick: 3 seconds, snare: 3 seconds,
crash cymbal: 7 seconds → Total 13 seconds
●Stereo WAV and AIFF files are loaded as “mono”
sounds with the left and right sides mixed.
