Kits
A kit is a set of sample files and their settings file. When a kit is saved, all of the samples
currently assigned to tracks are copied (not moved) to the kit’s folder. All of the track settings
and output settings are saved in a file with the same name as the folder and a KIT file extension.
If a track is not assigned to a sound, the settings for that track are not saved. When a kit is
loaded, only those tracks that are in the kit are loaded, and other tracks will not have their
settings overwritten.
New kits are each saved in their own folder inside of the KITS folder in the root of the SD card.
Kits that are stored in folders other than the KITS folder can be loaded, edited, and saved.
The Load Kit function can load a stand-alone kit, or a project's kit.
Projects
A project folder contains:
1. A project file with the same name as the folder and an S24 extension.
2. A kit file with the same name as the project file and a KIT extension.
3. Optionally, a MIDI map file with the same name as the project file and a MAP extension.
4. All of the samples in the project's kit, and the Live Loops. Samples that are assigned to
tracks are copied (not moved) to the project folder when the project is saved.
New projects are each saved in their own folder inside of the PROJECTS folder in the root of the
SD card. Projects that are stored in folders other than the PROJECTS folder can be loaded,
edited, and saved.
To make a copy of a project, load the project then "save as" a different project name. When a
project is "saved as" on the S2400, it will be saved in a new folder inside the PROJECTS folder.
The original folder and its contents are not changed.
Global Settings File
Global settings are saved in a file called S2400.SET in the root of the SD card. The file contains all
settings found in the Global Settings, Sync, Input Monitor, and Metronome menus, plus the
sampling settings. The global settings file is automatically saved whenever a setting is changed,
and it is automatically loaded at power-on.
MIDI Maps
MIDI Map files have a MAP file extension. Maps can be loaded from any folder, but are always
saved in the MIDI MAPS folder. See the MIDI Mapping section for more details.
