Precautions
•
Do not remove the disk or move the instrument while
the disk drive is operating (disk drive LED and WRITE/
DISK IN USE LED lit up).
•
Make a backup copy of the disks. If you have a personal
computer, you can keep a copy of the data on the hard
disk.
•
Do not open the metallic shutter on the disk, and do not
touch the surface of the magnetic media inside it. If the
magnetic media becomes scratched or dirty, data can be
lost.
•
Do not leave a disk in the disk drive while moving the
instrument: the read/write heads may scratch the disk
and damage the data.
•
Keep the disks away from magnetic fields, for example
televisions, refrigerators, computers, monitors, speakers
and transformers. Magnetic fields can alter the contents
of the disks.
•
Do not keep disks in very hot or wet places, do not
expose them to direct sunlight.
•
Do not place heavy objects on top of the disks.
•
After use, replace the disks in a case.
Possible problems
•
In exceptional cases, the disk can get stuck in the disk
drive. To avoid this, you should use high quality disks
only. If the disk does get stuck, do not try to force it out
using sharp objects. Contact your local dealer or your
nearest KOHLER Service Center.
•
Magnetic fields, dirt, humidity and extended usage can
damage data on disk. You can try to recover the data
with disk repair utilities for personal computers. It is,
however, advisable to make periodic backup copy of
data.
HARD DISK PARTITION SIZE (KD160/165)
The KD supports FAT32-formatted (MS-DOS® compatible)
hard disks, as found in most Microsoft Windows™ comput-
ers. This means that there are virtually no limits to the size of
the hard disks you can fit into your instrument.
Hard disks formatted with an older version of the operating
system (pre 3.0) can be used on the KD. If you want to
change them to the new format, to avoid wasting space
exceeding the 2GB limit, use the Format function found on
“Page 5 - Format” of the Disk edit environment.
Warning:
Make a backup of your hard disk before formatting.
All data contained on the disk will be lost during formatting!
FLASH CARD HANDLING (FOR FUTURE
DEVELOPMENT)
You can use RAM (Rewritable) Flash Cards to store your
data. To save data, you need a (optional) Korg FMC-8MB
card.
Note:
Only Korg cards are certified for use with the KD.
Note:
Since it is a RAM Flash Card, you can use the Korg FMC-
PCM01 (Real Drums) card to save your data. You must format
the card before using it.
Don’t forget to backup the data before
formatting it!
You can use the card exactly as you would any other storage
device (floppy disk or hard disk). You can select it for Load,
Save, Copy, New Directory etc. operations. The card is identi-
fied by the CRD abbreviation.
Warning:
Extracting the card during writing, or a sudden lack
of power, may cause the loss of all data contained into the card.
Always backup the card’s data.
Note:
Writing on a card is a slow operation. This is not a fault
of the KD, but the standard behavior of the Flash Card technol-
ogy. On the other hand, the Flash Card is very fast when read-
ing data from it.
Note:
When writing or formatting a card, the KD is “frozen”.
No other operation may be carried out until the writing or for-
matting is completed.
The Card slot is located on the Master CPU Board and it is
only acceseable by certified technician or Kohler Service Sta-
tion.
