• If you set PadAssign to “off”, the imported wave will not be
assigned to any pad.
• Imported AIF and WAV audio files are stored as waves, or in
other words, as one of the three types of DTX-MULTI 12
voices. As such, they can be freely assigned to pads at any
time using the VOICE setting area (see page 56).

• Do not unplug the USB memory device from the USB
TO DEVICE port or turn off either the USB memory
device or the DTX-MULTI 12 while data is being
loaded. Failure to observe this precaution can lead to
the USB memory device or the DTX-MULTI 12 being
permanently damaged.
• If the selected file is not 16-bit, the error message
“Illegal wave data.” will be displayed and the import
process will be halted. In such a case, please convert
the file to 16-bit using, for example, the bundled DAW
software and then repeat the import process.
• If a voice has already been assigned to the selected
pad, it will be deleted and replaced with the imported
wave.

NOTE
Importing Audio Files
WAV and AIFF audio files from your computer and other media can be imported into your DTX-MULTI 12 via
USB memory devices. Referred to as “waves”, these voices can then be assigned to pads and played in the
same way as any other preset voice.
• Only 16-bit audio files can be used with your DTX-MULTI 12. If the audio files you wish to use have been recorded with a differ-
ent bit depth, please convert them to 16-bit in advance using, for example, the bundled DAW software. For details regarding the
conversion method, refer to the DAW software’s manual.
• Your DTX-MULTI 12 can import audio files of up to approximately 23 seconds in length (in the case of 44.1-kHz, 16-bit audio).
• It is important to note that even when the above conditions are satisfied, certain other factors may make audio files incompatible
with the DTX-MULTI 12.
