Sampling Mode

[SAMPLING]

The Sampling Record function lets you record sounds—such as vocals from a connected microphone, the signal from an electric guitar, or audio from an external CD or MP3 player—directly to the DTXTREME III, and assign them to the DTXTREME III as User Drum Voices. The User Drum Voices obtained via the Sampling function can be assigned to the Drum Kit and played back by hitting the pads.

IMPORTANT

In order to use the Sampling function, DIMM modules must be installed to the DTXTREME III. When no DIMMs are installed to the DTXTREME III, you cannot enter the Sampling mode even if you press the [SAMPLING] button. For details on installing DIMMs, see page 147. In addition, make sure to prepare a USB storage device before using the Sampling func- tion. This is necessary because the User Drum Voices which are created via the Sampling function and residing temporarily in DIMM will be lost when the power is turned off.

User Voice

In addition to Preset Voices, the DTXTREME III has User Voices, which you can create in the following ways: Recording audio signals in the Sampling mode or loading WAV files or AIFF files from the USB storage device connected to the DTXTREME III in the File mode.
