Sampling

The Sampling function lets you record audio signals such as vocals and CD playback sound to the DTX900 and play those 
sounds by hitting the drum pads. Recording audio signals to the DTX900 is referred to as “sampling.” In addition to being able 
to record audio signals directly to the DTX900, you can also import existing audio data (in WAV or AIFF file format) in the File 
mode. This lets you use audio you’ve recorded and edited on computer with the DTX900. Once you’ve recorded or loaded the 
audio, you’ll need to assign it to a User Voice which can be selected in the Drum Kit mode.

• The User Voices created in the Sampling mode reside temporarily in the optionally installed DIMMs (pages 76 and 

147). Because data contained in DIMM is lost when the power is turned off, you should always save the User 
Voices created by recording, editing, and using Jobs to a USB storage device before turning off the power. For 
information on how to save, see pages 54 and 114.
