Data compatibility
KARMA Music Workstation system version 2.0 (subse- quently referred to as version 2.0) maintains data compat- ibility in all data formats with the previous KARMA Music Workstation system version 1.0 (subsequently referred to as version 1.0). Data can be loaded/saved via floppy disk. However, you must use caution in the following cases.
MIDI exclusive data dump
Data is not compatible for MIDI exclusive data dumps between KARMA music workstations of differing system versions (1.0 and 2.0). We recommend that you update both KARMA music workstations to system version 2.0.
MIDI exclusive parameter changes
If you are transmitting this data from version 1.0 and receiving it in version 2.0, parameters that existed in version 1.0 are compatible, and can be transmitted and received. If you are transmitting this data from version
2.0and receiving it in version 1.0, parameters that existed in version 1.0 are compatible, and can be transmitted and received. Parameters that were added in version 2.0 do not exist in version 1.0, and will not sound or operate correctly. Some parameters may cause the operation to become unstable. In this case, we recommend that you update both the transmitting and receiving KARMA music workstation to system version 2.0.
The PRELOAD.PCG and PRELOAD.SNG files on the included
1.0format. These files can be loaded correctly by KARMA Music Workstation system version 2.0, but if you attempt to save the same PCG and SNG files that were loaded, you will no longer be able to save them on a single floppy disk. This is because system version
2.0had added various parameters so that the file size has increased, and is not a malfunction. Please use two floppy disks to save the data. (☞PG p.154 “If the data does not fit on a single disk”)
