Working With Files Using the OASYS PCI
58 OASYS PCI
English
File name length
Be careful to keep fi le names under 27 characters, for a total of 31 characters
including the “dot” and 3-letter fi le extension. Longer fi le names will work fi ne on
Windows computers, but not on MacOS.
File extensions
All OASYS PCI fi les have special three-letter fi le extensions–.oam for Multis, .oap
for Programs, .kem for Multisamples, and so on. These are not critical for use on
MacOS, which has its own ways of determining
fi le type, but they are very
important for Windows.
If you want the Multis, Programs, and Multisamples you create to work on all
platforms, make sure that the names include the appropriate
fi le extension.
File and folder organization
All OASYS PCI fi les, except for Multis, must be stored inside the OASYS PCI
folder. (Multis may be stored anywhere on disk, including the OASYS PCI folder if
desired.) Within the main OASYS PCI folder are folders for sound libraries, such
as the Korg factory sounds and optional sound packages from Korg and third
parties, or user projects, such as “TV Series Third Season Cues.”
Within each of these project or library folders are
fi ve sub-folders, one each for
Programs, Patches, Effects, Samples, and Multisamples. There should always be
these
fi ve folders at this level. You can also store Multis here, if you like.
As shown below, the Korg folder also contains two special folders, Mixer and
Scales. These are only used within the Korg folder.
It is very important that Patches be stored within the Patches folder, Effects within
the Effects folder, and so on. Files must be stored in the appropriate folders in
order for them to appear in the Catalog window.
Within each of these sub-folders can be one additional layer of folders. These
additional folders can be used to create sound categories, such as bass, piano, pad,
reverb, delay, and so on.
