You can also load your own samples to use as voices within a kit. Each sample must be a 16-
bit mono WAV file with a maximum size of 15 MB. It can have a sampling rate of 48, 44.1, 32,
22.05, or 11.025 kHz.
Note: Samples that you have loaded to the drum module can only be deleted all at once. In
other words, if you have loaded multiple samples into a kit (or to multiple kits), you cannot
delete only one of your samples; you must delete all of them.
