Korg Krome EX - Writing Data to Internal Memory; Writing Programs and Other Data; Saving Data to an SD Card; Saving Programs and Songs

Here’s how to write an edited Program to internal memory.
1. Press the WRITE button.
A dialog box will appear. Here you have the option of saving the data to a different number, or of changing the
program name or category. If you want to simply overwrite the existing data without making any of these changes,
proceed to step 2.
Changing the program name:
Press the “T” button to access the text edit dialog box. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter a name, and then
press the OK button to return to the previous dialog box.
Changing the category and sub-category: Press the Category or Sub Category popup button, and choose the
desired category from the list. You will return to the previous dialog box.
Specifying the writing-destination bank and number: Press the Program popup button, use the tabs to select a
bank, and select a number from the list. Press the OK button to return to the previous dialog box.
2. Once again press the WRITE button to perform the Write operation. (You can also execute by pressing the
OK button or the ENTER button.)
Writing other data
To write a combination, select the combination that you want to write, and write it just as you did for a program. Other
data such as arpeggio patterns are written in the corresponding page. For details, see page 113 of the Operation
Guide.
Note: As an alternative to using the WRITE button, you can also use the Write command in the menu. Effect presets
can only be written by using the Write command.
Saving and loading
Saving data to an SD card
Data you’ve created or edited on the KROME can be saved to an SD card. The KROME can handle several types of
files and data, but here we’ll explain two common types of file: .PCG files and .SNG files.
PCG stands for “Program, Combination, and Global.” These files can also include user Arpeggio patterns, Drum Kits,
and user Drum Track.
SNG stands for “Song.” These files store all of the Songs from Sequencer mode.
Saving programs and songs together
When saving a song that you created using edited programs or rearranged programs, you can save the program data
along with the song data.
1. Insert your SD card into the SD card slot.
With the label of the media facing upward, insert the connector end of the card into the SD card slot, and press
it in until it clicks into place.
2. Press the MEDIA button to enter Media mode (the LED will light up).
3. Press the Save tab to access the Media- Save page.
4. Select the directory where you want to save the data.
Press the Open button to move to a lower level, or press the Up button to move to an upper level. To create a
new directory, move to the level where you want to create the directory, and use the Create Directory menu
command on the MediaUtility page.
5. On the MediaSave page, press the menu command button to open the menu, and select the Save All
command.
This command will save a set of .PCG and .SNG files all at once.
A dialog box will appear.
