Extracting Banks
- As long as you have a bank opened, extracting banks is straight forward. Navigate to the File menu and select the Extract option.
Creating Banks
- Follow the first step to extract a SDT bank. Replace the extracted files with your own files while maintaining the numbering prefixes and names of the files. These files will be in a different output folder depending on the bank you've extracted (sounds/drums/music). Now go to File -> appropriate bank sub-menu -> Create Bank. Note that your sound files have to be in the WAV format with the sample rate of 22.050 Hz.
