The USB-MIDI driver is software that transfers MIDI data back and

Double-click the “Install USB Driver” icon in the “USBdrv_”
folder “Install USB Driver” will be displayed.

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.
1.
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.
2.
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:
n
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.
n
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).
3.
Set the memory card to the CARD slot on the DTXTREME IIs.
Import the copied files in a specific manner. Refer to “Loading a
