Disk & Hard Disk 45
Load operations
Disk or Partition data can be loaded into the WK2 RAM using one of the following methods:
• as single elements (Load Song, Load Style, Load MidiFile);
• as a set of files corresponding to Groups (Load Styles, Load Performance (Perform-
ance Groups], Load Samples);
• as an “ALL” file, all the data contained in the disk previously loaded with the ALL proce-
dure.
The WK and PK Songs and MidiFiles can be played directly from disk or Hard disk
partition without loading the data to memory beforehand.
The Load procedure
FLOPPY DISK
1. Insert the floppy disk into the disk drive and press the FLOPPY DISK button.
The DISK icon in the display either starts to flash, or remains on according to the SLOW
or FAST setting, and the right display arrowhead is shown next to the LOAD menu
function.
The display shows the name of the first file available on disk.
Depending on the type of file shown, the 3 or 8 digit display area shows the relative
extension (Mid, PerfoPWK, SamplSWK, etc.). In the case of WK or PK Song files, no
extension appears.
2. Select the desired file by rotating the DIAL, or using the + and – buttons of the right hand
selection keypad.
Note : If, at this point, you press the PLAY/STOP or START/STOP button, the Song will
start to play directly from the floppy disk. See page 13 in the Getting Started chapter.
3. Press ENTER.
The drive starts running and the file is loaded to the first available location in memory.
RECOGNISING FILES WITH EXTENSIONS
All files, except Songs in WK and PK format, STYLE and ALL files, are recognised by their
extensions.
For MIDI Files and single User STYLES, the 3 digit display area shows the extension
‘Mid’ and ‘U01-U08’ respectively.
For SAMPLES and PERFORMANCES, the 8 digit display area shows the extension in
the form “SamplSWK” and “PerfoPWK”.
For CD files, the 3 digit display area shows the extension ‘Cd’, while the 8 digit display
area shows the file name with one of the three possible extensions: SNG, STY, SMP.
WK2 is compatible with CD SONG, STYLE and SAMPLE files, but not CD SONG
STYLES.
