To load individual objects, use the LOAD page to highlight a compatible le type, then
press the OPEN soft button to view a list of objects within the le. e objects in the list are
grouped by type (Programs, Multis, etc.). Scroll through the list using the alpha wheel, cursor
buttons, or Previous/Next buttons. Each line in the list represents one object, and displays
the object’s number in the list, as well as the object’s type, original ID number, and name.
Press the SELECT soft button to select or deselect the highlighted object for loading.
Multiple objects can be selected. An asterisk (*) is placed to the left of selected objects.
Press the FILL soft button to load the selected objects, or press the CANCEL soft button to
return to the le list dialog.
Compatible Files
e PC4 can load its own .PC4 les, as well as le types from other Kurzweil products such
as .SP6, .FSE, .FOR, .ASE, .ART, .P3A, .PC3, .P3K, .PLE, .SPX, and .SYX les. When
loading le types other than .PC4, the PC4 will attempt a conversion of the objects in those
les. e PC4 can often exactly match the sound and function of the original objects. In
some cases object parameters may not be converted and must be adjusted by the user after
conversion (see below for details).
Importing Program Objects
When importing a Program object from a .P3A, .P3K, .PC3, .PLE, or .SPX le, Parameter
info names and some controller assignments may need to be manually adjusted.
Importing Forte (.FOR) Objects
Some Forte Programs (stored in .FOR les) may not be compatible if they use keymaps
and samples that are not available on the PC4. It may be possible to import and edit these
Programs on the PC4 and select PC4 keymaps that sound very similar to the incompatible
Forte keymaps. For example, the PC4 does not have the same Japanese Grand Piano keymaps
and samples that the Forte has, but it does have similar keymaps that use a reduced set of the
Forte Japanese Grand Piano samples.
Importing FM (.SYX) Programs
e PC4 can load .SYX les containing FM programs from classic 6 operator FM
synthesizers.
