Before Recording; Recording Standby - Yamaha DTXTREME Reference Manual

1. Before Recording

Before entering Song Record mode, select the
User Song (U1-U32) to which you wish to record
at the Drum Kit/Song page (page 11). In the case
of real-time recording, you need to have also set
the tempo and time signature beforehand. This
becomes the basic song tempo but, since you can
change this setting after recording, you should
initially set a speed at which you can perform
comfortably.
n If you do not specify the User Song number before
entering Recording Standby state, the first empty
song number will be selected automatically.
About Recording Voices And MIDI
Channels
When recording from an external keyboard
or other external device, make sure it has
been connected to the DTXTREME
correctly and that its MIDI transmission
channels have been assigned to the
DTXTREME's voices.
In Song Job mode (page 61), you can
choose from 128 keyboard voices to be
recorded to Tracks 1 and 2. See page 68 for
details about how to select the voices
(Program Change number).

2. Recording Standby

mode in Recording Standby state. The LED above
