Press

 

the

 

Open

 

button

 

to

 

move

 

to

 

a

 

lower

 

level,

 

or

 

press

 

the

 

Up

 

button

 

to

 

move

 

to

 

an

 

upper

 

level.

Depending

 

on

 

how

 

you

 

work,

 

you

 

may

 

wish

 

to

 

create

 

directories

 

for

 

different

 

projects.

 

To

 

create

 

a

 

new

 

directory,

 

move

 

to

 

the

 

level

 

at

 

which

 

you

 

want

 

to

 

create

 

the

 

directory,

 

and

 

use

 

the

 

Create

 

Directory

 

menu

 

command

 

on

 

the

 

Disk–Utility

 

page.

5. On

 

the

 

Disk–Save

 

page,

 

press

 

the

 

page

 

menu

 

button

 

to

 

open

 

the

 

page

 

menu,

 

and

 

select

 

the

 

Save

 

All

 

command.

This

 

command

 

will

 

save

 

a

 

set

 

of

 

.PCG,

 

.SNG,

 

and

 

.KSC

 

files

 

all

 

at

 

once.

A

 

dialog

 

box

 

will

 

appear.

6. Press

 

the

 

text

 

edit

 

button

 

(“T”)

 

and

 

enter

 

a

 

name

 

for

 

the

 

files.

All

 

of

 

the

 

files

 

will

 

share

 

the

 

same

 

name,

 

with

 

different

 

suffixes

 

to

 

show

 

the

 

data

 

type

 

(.PCG,

 

.SNG,

 

.KSC).

Note:

 

If

 

the

 

Songs

 

include

 

audio

 

tracks,

 

the

 

audio

 

data

 

will

 

be

 

saved

 

as

 

WAVE

 

files.

 

These

 

are

 

stored

 

in

 

a

 

directory

 

named

 

after

 

the

 

.SNG

 

plus

 

“_A”

 

(for

 

Audio)

 

at

 

the

 

end,

 

in

 

the

 

same

 

directory

 

as

 

the

 

.SNG

 

file

 

itself.

7. Press

 

each

 

Selection

 

button

 

to

 

note

 

the

 

items

 

being

 

saved,

 

such

 

as

 

the

 

individual

 

banks

 

of

 

Programs

 

and

 

Combinations.

You

 

can

 

choose

 

to

 

save

 

only

 

some

 

of

 

the

 

data.

 

This

 

is

 

handy,

 

for

 

instance,

 

when

 

saving

 

a

 

bank

 

of

 

sounds

 

to

 

share

 

with

 

other

 

musicians.

 

For

 

now,

 

however,

 

let’s

 

leave

 

all

 

of

 

the

 

boxes

 

checked,

 

so

 

that

 

all

 

of

 

the

 

internal

 

data

 

is

 

saved.

 

8. Press

 

the

 

OK

 

button

 

to

 

Save

 

the

 

data

 

to

 

disk.

When

 

the

 

save

 

is

 

complete,

 

the

 

system

 

returns

 

to

 

the

 

Save

 

page,

 

and

 

the

 

display

 

will

 

show

 

the

 

resulting

 

file(s).

 

The

 

amount

 

of

 

time

 

required

 

will

 

depend

 

on

 

the

 

amount

 

of

 

data

 

being

 

saved.

If

 

there

 

are

 

Multisamples

 

and

 

Samples

 

in

 

Sampling

 

Mode,

 

they

 

will

 

be

 

saved

 

to

 

disk

 

as

 

.KMP

 

and

 

.KSF

 

files,

 

respectively.

 

Directories

 

for

 

these

 

files

 

will

 

be

 

created

 

automatically.

NOTE:

 

When

 

saving

 

Combinations,

 

remember

 

to

 

also

 

save

 

the

 

Programs

 

it

 

uses,

 

as

 

well

 

as

 

the

 

Drum

 

Kits

 

and

 

Wave

 

Sequences

 

used

 

by

 

the

 

Programs.

 

Similarly,

 

when

 

saving

 

Programs,

 

remember

 

to

 

save

 

the

 

Drum

 

Kits

 

and

 

Wave

 

Sequences

 

used

 

by

 

the

 

programs.

When

 

you

 

use

 

Load

 

PCG

 

to

 

load

 

a

 

.PCG

 

file,

 

the

 

identically

named

 

.KSC

 

file

 

will

 

also

 

be

 

loaded

 

so

 

that

 

the

 

correct

 

multisamples/samples

 

will

 

correspond

 

automatically.
