Loading Individual Objects From a .P4S or Compatible File
Type
Since a .P4S le can contain thousands of objects, it is often useful to load only some of the
objects contained in a le. You can select individual objects or groups of objects (Programs,
Multis, etc) for loading from within a single .P4S, .K27, .PC4, .SP6, .FSE, .FOR, .ASE,
.ART, .P3A, .PC3, .P3K, .PLE, .SPX, K26, .K25, or .KRZ le.
To load individual objects, use the Load page to highlight a compatible le type, then press
the FAVORITES 2 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
or NAVIGATION Up/Down 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 FAVORITES 1 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 ENTER button to select a loading method and load the selected objects, or press
the EXIT button to return to the le list dialog.
Loading Compatible Object File Types
Aside from loading objects from its own .P4S les, the PC4 SE can load sounds and objects
from other instruments with the following le types: .K27, .PC4, .SP6, .FSE, .FOR, .ASE,
.ART, .P3A, .PC3, .P3K, .PLE, .SPX, .K26, .K25, .KRZ, and .SYX.
In some cases object parameters may need to be edited by the user after loading. See each
object le section below for details when loading le types other than .P4S.
Objects from most of the recent Kurzweil models should sound and function exactly the
same as on the original instruments (except in cases where unavailable physical controllers
change the sound or function). Objects from older legacy Kurzweil instruments can often
sound and function very closely or exactly the same as on the original instruments.
Loading K2700 and Forte Object Files (.K27, .FOR)
When loading K2700 and Forte objects from .K27 and .FOR les, some Programs and
Keymaps may not be compatible if they use user samples, or if they use factory samples that
are not available on the PC4 SE.
Loading Legacy Program/Keymap/Sample Object Files
When loading objects from .P3A, .P3K, .PC3, .PLE, .SPX, .K26, .K25, or .KRZ les, some
objects may not be compatible if they use user samples.
