Korg KROSS - Media

Global/Media mode
174
6: MEDIA
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
“Using an SD card” section on page 25 of the Operation Guide.
Files, directories, and icons
The KROSS manages data on media in a hierarchical manner,
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 directories have differently
shaped icons.
The KROSS collectively refers to files and directories
recognizable 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 filename.
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).
If there are DOS files with a file name extension other than those
listed below, they will be recognized as Standard MIDI Files
(SMF). However, you can’t load files that are not in SMF format
0/1.
When you format media on the KROSS or save to it for the first
time, or when you create a song on the audio recorder, a directory
named KORG/KROSS2/DATA will be automatically created in
the root directory.
Note: An AUDIO directory for the audio recorder will also be
created together with the DATA directory, but this will not be
shown on the KROSS.
When KROSS 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
KROSS, and will be handled as a Standard MIDI File.
Files handled by the KROSS are illustrated with their structure
(see next page). Since .PCG and .SNG files can be opened to
divide their contents, they are displayed as directory icons
.
