USB Drive
You can use the drum module with a USB flash drive save and load your data. Your USB flash
drive can have a capacity of 4–64 GB, and it must use a FAT32 file system to work properly
with the drum module.
IMPORTANT: We recommend plugging your USB flash drive into the module before loading
any files to it. This will create new folders to store Kits, Songs, Triggers, and Voices. When
adding files, make sure they are placed in the correct folder so they can be recognized by the
module. For instance, place WAV files in the Voice folder when loading your own samples.
Load
You can load four types of data from a USB flash drive—Kits, Songs, Triggers, and Voices.
The process for loading kits, songs, and triggers is the same. For songs and triggers, follow

You can also load your own samples to use as voices within a kit. Each sample must be a 16-
bit WAV file, with a total maximum size of 16 MB. It can have a sampling rate of 48, 44.1, 32,
22.05, or 11.025 kHz.

Wave A: The sample for the first layer of the voice.
•
Wave B: The sample for the second layer of the voice.
To edit the parameter's setting or value, use the dial.
