Sampling Mode [SAMPLING]
The Sampling Record function lets you record sounds—such as vocals from a connected microphone, the signal from
an electric guitar, or audio from an external CD or MP3 player—directly to the DTX900, and assign them to the DTX900
as User Drum Voices. The User Drum Voices obtained via the Sampling function can be assigned to the Drum Kit and
played back by hitting the pads.

on the rear panel to the minimum.
