Flash Memory
All data used by DrumIt is stored in files which are located in Flash
memory. This storage space functions like a standard FAT32
formatted disk drive. When DrumIt is in USB mode and connected to
a computer, one can access all files just as one would on any USB
connected disk drive. The following files are used by DrumIt.
DrumIt122.bin, the operating system file.
DrumIt.dkit, the file holding the unit and kit bank data.
*.dkit, single kit files (size of 1536 bytes).
*.dsnd, files containing the sounds for drums or loops.
*.wav, standard wave files for accompaniment.
*.pdf, documentation files.
Most of these files can be located anywhere on the drive, except for
the OS and kit bank files which must be in the root (top level)
folder. From the factory the single kit, drum, loop and wave files are
organized in a convenient folder structure. However, one is free to
reorganize these files in any way desired, the OS will locate them
automatically. The DrumIt specific files are explained below.
Kit Bank
The DrumIt.dkit file holds the unit data, a bank of 100 kits and the
kit program table. The unit data are for the whole DrumIt Five
(common to all kits) including a reference to the metronome drum
file. The data for each kit consist of 15 drum channels and common
data like the equaliser, effect and accompaniment. Each drum
channel and the accompaniment contain references to drum and
wave files. The picture shows the relationship.
* Kit can be part of the kit bank file or a separate single kit file.
