Saving and loading data
En-26
5. Press the red Load button at the bottom of the page.
(You can also use the Load Selected menu command.)
A dialog box will appear, containing a number of options.
6. Select the “Load [filename].PCG too” and “Load
[filename].KSC too” check boxes.
When these boxes are checked, the system looks for .PCG
and .KSC files with the same name as the main .SNG file.
7. Set “.PCG Contents” to All.
Optionally, you can load only some of the data from the
.PCG file.
8. Use “.SNG Allocation” to specify how the Songs will
be loaded, and whether or not existing Songs will be
erased.
Append loads the Songs into the first free Song numbers
following the song(s) which are already in memory.
Clear will erase all songs from internal memory, and load
the Songs into the exact numbers from which they were
saved.
9. Use “.KSC Allocation” to specify how the sample data
will be loaded, and whether or not existing sample
data will be erased.
Append will leave all currently-loaded Sampling Mode,
User Sample Bank, and/or EXs data intact. Sampling Mode
Multisamples and Samples will be loaded into the next
available vacant numbers following the existing data.
Clear Sampling Mode Data will erase all Multisamples and
Samples from Sampling Mode, and load the data in the same
configuration with which it was saved. Existing EXs and
User Sample Bank data is left intact.
Clear All is similar to Clear Sampling Mode Data, above,
but also un-loads existing EXs and User Sample Bank data
before loading the new .KSC file. This frees up the most
memory for the new .KSC.
You can use the information at the bottom of the dialog box,
including Memory Required, (Memory) Available, and
Enough slots in Sampling Mode to determine whether or
not you need to free up room for the new .KSC.
10.Set the Load Method for EXs and User Sample Banks
as desired.
This sets the preferred way to load the EXs and User Sample
Bank data in the KSC: load them into RAM, use Virtual
Memory, or use the setting stored in the KSC. If the KSC has
no EXs or User Sample Bank data, this will be grayed out.
11.Press the OK button to load the data.
Never disconnect USB devices or remove data-storage
media while loading or saving.
When loading Programs, Combinations, Songs, Set Lists,
Drum Kits, Wave Sequences, or KARMA User GEs,
make sure that the Global Basic Setup page’s Memory
Protect settings are turned off (unchecked). If they are on,
you won’t be able to load the data.
Loading individual banks from a .PCG file
1. Go to the Load page.
2. Select the .PCG file containing the data you want to
load.
3. Press the Load button.
4. Set the .PCG Contents to load the desired individual
banks.
5. Select the bank to load into via the “To” parameter.
Automatic reference correction
If you set .PCG Contents and To to different banks, any
references in the data will be updated to match the new bank.
For instance, let’s say that you’re loading from the PCG’s
Bank I-A into Bank U-G. If the PCG’s Combinations used
Programs from Bank I-A, they will be updated to the use the
Programs’ new locations in Bank U-G. The same is true for
any Drum Kits or Wave Sequences used by Programs.
If you’re loading sequencer data at the same time (with
Load .SNG too checked), any Program and Bank Change
messages within the Songs will also be corrected.
Loading multiple files at once
You can select two or more files at once, and load them in a
single operation. To do so:
1. Press the Multiple Select check-box at the bottom of
the screen, so that it’s enabled.
This can be handy for loading multiple sample files at once,
importing banks of DX sounds, and so on. Multiple Select
works for other disk operations as well, including Delete (so
be careful!).
Note that when Multiple Select is on, you can’t change to a
different directory. When you’re done, turn it off again.
You can also use “wild cards” to select multiple files. For
more information, see “Loading multiple files at once” under
the “Load selected” menu command in the PG’s Disk
chapter.
