MEMO
The exported drum kit is placed in the “My UDK” folder of
the USB ash drive. It is exported with its user samples and
multisamples.
It may take some time for the export to be completed if the data
size is large.
NOTE
5 It is possible to change the le name when executing UST Export/
UDK Export.
However, this changes only the le name; it does not change the
name of the tone.
This means that if you import a UST or UDK whose le name was
changed, the original tone names are displayed. Since you won’t
be able to tell the original tone names, we recommend that you
not change the le name when exporting.
5 When you export, the samples and multisamples remain in the
E-A7. (The data is copied and saved on the USB ash drive.)
If you want to increase the amount of free memory, export the
data, then delete unneeded user drum kits, and execute sample
Clean Up.
If multiple user drum kits use the same drum insts, user samples,
or multisamples, the user samples are not deleted until all related
user drum kits are deleted (i.e., the amount of free memory will
not increase).

If you want to change the import destination, select “No” to return
to the page where you can change the import destination.
NOTE
If the user sample memory is full, you can’t import user drum kits.
Increase the amount of free memory and then import once again.
MEMO
Place the les that you want to import in the “My UDK” folder of
the USB ash drive.
If there is no “My UDK” folder in External Storage (USB ash
drive), you can either use the E-A7 to format the USB ash drive,
or create a folder named “My UDK.”
