ler (RHH135 or HH65) plugged into the [HI-HAT CONTROL]
trigger input jack. This convenient function provides support for
double bass drumming techniques.

Importing & Assigning Audio Files
1
Using a computer, place the audio files you
wish to import on a USB memory device.
NOTE
• Be sure to place the audio files in the USB memory
device's root directory (that is, not within any folder).
• Your DTX700 can import WAV and AIFF audio files.
• Only 16-bit audio files can be used with your DTX700.
• If the audio files you wish to use have been recorded
with a different bit depth, please convert them to 16-bit in
advance using, for example, the bundled DAW software.
For details regarding the conversion method, please
refer to the instruction manual that came with your soft-
ware.
• Your DTX700 can import audio files of up to approxi-
mately 23 seconds in length (in the case of 44.1-kHz, 16-
bit audio).
• Even when the above conditions have been satisfied,
certain other factors may make audio files incompatible
with the DTX700.

Unplug the USB memory device from your
computer and plug it into the [USB TO
DEVICE] port on the DTX700.
