Startup—the Details
xD Cards
You can use xD memory cards for backing up, archiving, sharing your work, and updating your
software (32MB – 256MB will work, Type S or no type stated, formatted FAT16). The xD card slot
is on the back panel of the PC3, but it is easily accessible from the front of the instrument. The
gold contacts on the card must be facing up when you insert it; the PC3 can’t read a card when it
is inserted upside down.
Caution
: Do not remove an xD card while the blue Storage Unit Busy LED (above the alpha wheel) is lit.
Removing a card while this blue LED is lit can cause data corruption.
USB Port
Next to the card slot on the back panel of the PC3 is a USB port. The USB port works for MIDI
(transmit and receive) or to connect your PC3 to a computer for file transfer. By default, the USB
port is set to MIDI mode. You cannot, however, use a USB flash (or thumb) drive with the PC3’s
USB port.
We recommend that you use the USB cable provided with your PC3 and do not use extension
USB cables. The PC3’s Type B USB port is only intended for connection to a USB Type A port.
In USB Storage mode, a "KurzweilPC3"
virtual
drive will appear on your computer desktop. One
important thing to know here is that this is a virtual drive. You can save to this drive from the
PC3, but you must immediately transfer that file to your desktop (or other folder).
You must
copy data from the PC3 virtual drive to your computer’s drive or else the data will be lost.
When you leave Storage Mode, there will be a prompt telling you that the PC3 is turning back
into a USB MIDI device - which you have to acknowledge. If you haven’t copied the file(s) to
your desktop (or other place on the computer) it won’t be on the virtual disk when you leave
storage mode.
Depending on your computer’s operating system, you may sometimes see a scary device
removal warning on your desktop (for example, when the PC3 leaves the Boot Loader). You
may disregard such a message without worries of damage to your PC3 or computer.
Setting the Clock
The first time you start up your PC3 is probably a good time to set the instrument’s clock to your
current local time. Do this from the Master Page.
The clock will time-stamp your files that have been stored to xD cards or via USB.
