4•8 Reference Guide
For example, Group 8 cannot be loaded to any
other location in RAM other than Group 8.
If you attempt to load to a destination other than
the correct one, a user message will inform you
of your error with the following message:
Press ESCAPE to close the user message and
try again, this time selecting the correct destina-
tion.
LOAD GROUP USER STYLE PROCEDURE (EXAM-
PLE)

In this example, the disk directory shows the
presence of two User Style Groups (User 3
and User 4).

other location in RAM other than Group 8.
If you attempt to load to a destination other than
the correct one, a user message will inform you
of your error with the following message:

Load Operations
The load operations operate in the direction
Source –> RAM where the source can be Floppy
disk, Hard disk or SCSI.
LOAD SINGLE
The Load Single command offers the following
possibilities:
LOAD SINGLE BLOCK
Rewrites the entire contents of RAM. Block data
contains: Setup file, Sounds, Performances, Style
Performances, User Styles (and relative Perform-
ances), Songs (and relative Performances).
LOAD SINGLE SETUP
Loads a Setup file into RAM. Setup files contain
information relating to the status of the instru-
ment’s general functions (Tuning/Scale, Audio
Mic/Line settings, MIDI Lock status, MIDI chan-
nel configurations, Pedals Lock status and the
Pedals configuration). Load a disk-based Setup
file when you want to change the general status
of the instrument in a single step instead of pro-
gramming the individual parameters that consti-
tute a Setup file. Loading a Setup file into RAM
does not affect other data. Only one Setup file
resides in each Block.
LOAD SINGLE SONG
Loads Songs to RAM one at a time. This opera-
tion allows you to choose single Song files from
various different blocks and load to RAM in a pre-
ferred order. SK760/880SE can load Songs from
disk in its own format (Song), in previous com-
patible formats (WK, SK, PS, WX, SX), in stand-
ard MIDI file format 0 or 1 and in Tune1000
™
for-
mat.
LOAD SINGLE MIDI FILE
Loads disk-based MIDI files to RAM one at a time
Loading MIDI Files into RAM automatically con-
verts the files into SK760/880SE format Songs.
The «Load MIDI File» procedure is almost iden-
tical to «Load Single Song». In this case instead
of Song names, you’ll see a list of files in the
source directory with the “.MID” extension. In
some cases, other names appear which repre-
sent sub-directories containing other MIDI Files.
Important: When you load a MIDI File, track 17
is created automatically in order to be able to play
along with the Song in playback.
LOAD SINGLE SOUND
Loads single disk-based sounds to the Sound
Bank destinations. Loads Ram-Sounds as well
as RAM-Sounds.
The «Load Single Sound» procedure is charac-
terized by an increased number of steps, owing
to the fact that there are 16 Sound Groups, each
consisting of 8 Banks of 16 slots. You can choose
to load your Ram-Sounds anywhere you want,
but it is recommended that you load to the origi-
nal Sound Group to facilitate future selection.
Load Single Sound also features a Sound Search
function. Owing to the large SK760/880SE
Sound library, you might find it easier to pass di-
rectly to a Sound bank by specifying the name of
a Sound that occupies a particular bank. From
there, you can then easily select a destination
for the Sound being loaded. The Sound Search
procedure is explained in detail on pages 4.28.
