Disk Mode Enhancements in Version 3
Importing and Exporting Data
Scroll to the object that you wish to save, and press OK. The dialog will proceed the same as if
you were saving a K2000 file. You will be prompted for a file name, and will have the option to
select a different default directory to save the file in.
The K2000 will automatically place a standard extension on the file when it is created on the
disk. These extensions are sometimes necessary when transferring files to external programs
that can recognize the file format based on the extension. They also help you to recognize what
files are of a what format when looking at a directory listing. You can use the Find Files utility
(Disk mode->Util->Find) to search for files that match a certain extension.
The standard extensions used on the files are:
.AIF AIFF
.WAV WAVE
.MID MIDI Type 0
The first time you enter the Export page after powering on (or after a soft-reset of the K2000), the
format defaults to AIFF. After that, the K2000 remembers the most recent format that you used.
For example if you save a MIDI Type 0 file, and then go back to the Song Mode page to record
more sequences, the next time you return to the Export page, the file format will still be set to
MIDI, and all of the song objects will be listed.
You can audition the samples and songs the same way as you would on the Save Object or
Object Utility pages (by pressing the Left or the Right cursor buttons on the front-panel.).
AIFF and AIFF-C Files
The K2000 can read 8 or 16 bit AIFF files, mono or stereo. The sample rate, sustain loop, loop
mode, base note, sample name, and sample detuning are supported. AIFF-C files that do not
use compression can also be read by the K2000. The K2000 will save 16-bit AIFF files, either
mono or stereo.
WAVE Files
The K2000 can read 8 or 16 bit WAVE files, mono or stereo. WAVE files do not support looping.
The K2000 will save 16-bit WAVE files, either mono or stereo.
MIDI Type 0 Files
Use this format to transfer a song to and from an external sequencer. Tempo information is
supported. Time Signature is not supported. System Exclusive data is not supported.
