yDTX900 Series QUICK START – SAMPLING A "ONE SHOT" SOUND

There are many ways to use the sampling function of

the DTX900. This document will focus on using the

on-board sampling capability to sample a single sound

through the on-board effects of the DTX900, then

assign it to a pad for playback where it can further

processed and effected.

SAMPLING ADVISORY: Unauthorized copying of the commercially

available musical data including audio data is strictly prohibited except for

your personal use.

Prepare for sampling – WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

In order to sample you must install the correct optional

DIMM memory chips in the DTX900. Use matching

pairs (2 x 64MB, 2 x 128MB, 2 x 256MB) of PC100 or

PC133 memory chips with no more than 18 chips per

module. Buy them from a reputable source and the

handle chips carefully to avoid static shocks.

You need a dynamic microphone with a mono ¼"

cable for recording an acoustic sound OR a dual

mono to stereo ¼" cable for recording a CD player or

similar audio device. We'll use a mic in this example

to record a snare sound-be sure to use proper cable.

mono

It is also a good idea to have a set of quality

headphones for monitoring the sound during

sampling and for scrutinizing the sample closely after

it has been recorded.

Finally, you will need a USB device to save your data.

Setup the DTX900 AUX INPUT:

Plug the cable from your source into the AUX INPUT

on the back of DTX900. Next you need to set the

MIC/LINE parameter to the appropriate signal.

Press [UTILITY], and press the [F4] AUX IN button

then the [SF1] OUTPUT button. Set the Mic/Line

parameter to the value you require. When connecting

low output equipment, such as a microphone, electric

guitar or bass, set the Mic/Line parameter to "mic."

When connecting high output equipment, such as a

keyboard, synth or CD player, set the Mic/Line

parameter to "line." Since we are using a single mic,

set the Mono/Stereo parameter to "L mono".

Sampling audio is part science, part art and various

amounts of luck – at least in the beginning. You can

reduce the amount of luck needed to achieve good

results by learning the art and science of audio

recording and applying those principles to your

sampling. The scope of audio recording is too big a

topic to be discussed here, so your mileage may vary.

Bottom line: Experience helps. The good news is that

there is help right inside of the DTX900.

The DTX900 features two insert effects processors

(think of them like guitar pedals) that can be patched

to the incoming audio and used in many useful and

creative ways. In this example, we'll use a

compressor to help get a good signal level and a

harmonic enhancer to sweeten the sound.

Press [SF2] INS TYPE and navigate the cursor to the

area between the two effects processors and use the

data wheel to select InsEF Connect = to "InsAtoB".

Selecting the effects is also done here. Use the

cursor to highlight the "C" box (category) for Insert A

and select C&E: (compression and eq). Move the

cursor to the "INSA" box and select ClassicComp as

the specific effect.

For INSERT B, we'll select using a different method;

highlight the "INSB" box and scroll through the effects

and select C&E:Enhancer as the specific effect.

Press [SF3] INS A and set the classic compressor Pre

(preset) parameter to preset "60's Drumkit".

Press [SF4] INS B and set the harmonic enhancer

Pre (preset) parameter to preset "Edge".

The above configuration is only a suggestion – no

single setup is perfect for every sampling task. Use

headphones to confirm the sound is to your liking.

You may decide you don't want the sound of the

enhancer, or that you don't want any effects because

you are sampling from a CD. What's important is that

DTX900 provides you tools to professionally record

your audio and create your own great sounds. Now

that you know where those tools are and how they can

be used you can experiment with them.
