Transferring Song, Audio & Kit Data
Numbering Files to be Transferred
Before transferring a file to your DTX502, a number indicating the destination User song, audio file, or kit must be added at the start of
the file name using your computer.
 Transferring song data
Song data files have an extension of .mid. Before transferring them to your
DTX502, add a three digit number between 061 and 100 at the start of the file
name. For example, in order to transfer the song data file sample.mid to User
song No. 85 on your DTX502, you should rename it "085sample.mid".
NOTE
• User songs on the DTX502 are numbered from 61 to 100.
• If transferring multiple song data files at the same time, be sure to assign
a different number to each of them.
• Your DTX502 only accepts song data in the form of a standard MIDI file
(SMF) of format 0 or 1. When you transfer an SMF of format 1, it will be
automatically converted to format 0 by the drum trigger module.
• SMFs with less than 96 subdivisions per quarter note cannot be used.
 Transferring audio data
Audio data files have an extension of .wav or .aif. Before transferring them to
your DTX502, add a two digit number between 01 and 20 at the start of the
file name. For example, in order to transfer the audio data file sample.wav to
Wave Voice No. 9 on your DTX502, you should rename it "09sample.wav".
NOTE
• Wave Voices (voice category W) on your DTX502 are numbered from 1
to 20.
• If transferring multiple audio data files at the same time, be sure to
assign a different number to each of them.
• Audio files with a bit depth other than 16-bit cannot be used. In addition,
these audio files must have a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, and if neces-
sary, you should use a DAW application or the like to convert to this sam-
pling rate in advance.
 Transferring kit data
Kit data files have an extension of .bin. Before transferring them to your
DTX502, add a three digit number between 051 and 100 at the start of the file
name. For example, in order to transfer the kit data file UserKit.bin to User kit
No. 72 on your DTX502, you should rename it "072UserKit.bin".
NOTE
• User kits on the DTX502 are numbered from 51 to 100.
• If transferring multiple kit data files at the same time, be sure to assign a
different number to each of them.
• If you wish to modify the name of the kit itself, please use your DTX502
to do so.
