Media mode
In this mode, you can save internal memory data to an
inserted SD card, or load data from media into internal
memory. You can also copy or delete files, or format media.
The following media can be used.
SD cards
SD and SDHC memory cards supporting MS‐DOS format
FAT16 or FAT32 are supported.
SDXC memory cards are not supported.
For more information about handling the SD card, please
see the “Inserting/removing a card in the SD card slot”
section on page 118 of the Operation Guide.
Files, directories, and icons
The KROME manages data on media in a hierarchical man‐
ner, using files and directories. The contents of a file
(whether it is a file or a directory) are indicated not only by
the name, but also graphically, by an icon. Files and directo‐
ries have differently shaped icons.
The KROME collectively refers to files and directories recog‐
nizable by MS‐DOS (readable by an MS‐DOS computer), as
“DOS files” and “DOS directories.” Different types of DOS
file are distinguished by the extension added to their file‐
name.
In the case of a DOS file with an extension other than listed
below, selecting Load selected to access the dialog box will
cause the file to be considered to be a Standard MIDI File
(SMF). However, you can’t load files that are not in SMF
format 0/1.
When KROME data is saved, one of these filename
extensions will be added automatically, according to the
type of data. If these filename extensions are modified on a
computer, the file will be treated as an undefined file when
it is reloaded back into the KROME, and will be handled as a
Standard MIDI File.
Files handled by the KROME have the shown in the
structure (see next page). Since .PCG and .SNG files can be
opened to divide their contents, they are displayed as
directory icons.
