Korg Electric Keyboard manual 145, Loading multiple files, Load .KSC

Loading multiple files

You can use wild cards to simultaneously load two or more

.KMP, .KSF, .AIF, .WAV., AKAI Program, or AKAI Sample files from a directory.

You can use Utility 23) Load .KMP, 24) Load .KSF, 25) Load .AIF, 26) Load .WAV, 27) Load AKAI Sample File, 28) Load AKAI Program File.

In the dialog box, you can press the [F5] (“Name”) key to display the text input dialog box and use the wild cards “*” and “?” in the selected filename so that multiple sample files with the same extension (i.e., of the same format) will be loaded simultaneously.

Example)

When a folder contains the following files, you have selected “SFX_A_00.WAV,” and want to use wild cards to load multiple files simultaneously

PIANO.WAV, SFX_A_00.WAV, SFX_A_01.WAV, SFX_B_00.WAV, SFX_B_01.WAV, SFX_C_00.WAV

Select “SFX_A_00.WAV,” and choose the Utility “Load selected” to display the dialog box.

Press the [F5] (“Name”) key to access the text input dia- log box, and specify a wild card. (For the renaming pro- cedure, refer to BG p.43.)

The wild card “*” matches all subsequent characters. The wild card “?” matches only one character.

1)If you specify SFX_A* and execute loading, the following files will be loaded.

SFX_A_00.WAV, SFX_A_01.WAV

2)If you specify SFX_?_00 and execute loading, the follow- ing files will be loaded.

SFX_A_00.WAV, SFX_B_00.WAV, SFX_C_00.WAV

3)If you specify SFX_*_00 and execute loading, the result will be the same as if you had specified “SFX_*” and the following files will be loaded.

SFX_A_00.WAV, SFX_A_01.WAV, SFX_B_00.WAV SFX_B_01.WAV, SFX_C_00.WAV

4)If you specify * and execute loading, all .WAV files will be loaded, as follows.

PIANO.WAV, SFX_A_00.WAV, SFX_A_01.WAV, SFX_B_00.WAV, SFX_B_01.WAV, SFX_C_00.WAV

22) Load .KSC: selected icon

The .KMP files and .KSF files listed in the .KSC file will be loaded as multisamples and samples respectively.

The .KMP files and .KSF files listed in the .KSC file are saved in a directory of the same name that is cre- ated automatically at the same time as the .KSC file.

1“.KSC Allocation” allows you to specify how the multi- samples and samples in the .KSC file will be loaded. Append: The data will be loaded into the numbers after the last multisample or sample number currently existing in sample data RAM (i.e., that were previously sampled or loaded). In this case, only the valid multisamples and samples will be loaded. (☞ p.141 “Load .KSC too”, “.KSC Allocation” diagram)

If “Load ********.PCG too” is checked when you load the data, programs within the .PCG file that use multisam- ples from the .KSC file will automatically have the multi- sample settings for their oscillators rewritten so that each program uses the correct multisample. Drum kits in the

.PCG file that use samples from the .KSC file will auto- matically have the sample settings for the drum kit rewritten so that the drum kit uses the correct samples. Clear: All multisamples and samples currently existing in sample data RAM will be cleared, and the multisam- ples and samples will be loaded in the same configura- tion as when they were saved (☞ p.141 “Load .KSC too”, “.KSC Allocation” diagram).

Choose “Append” if sample data RAM already contains multisamples and samples that you do not want to erase, and you would like to load additional multisamples and samples from media.

Choose “Clear” if you want to reproduce the state in which the data had been saved, for example immediately after power-on.

2If the current directory contains a .PCG file or .SNG file of the same filename, you will be able to select the “Load

********.PCG too” and/or “Load ********.SNG too” check- boxes.

•If you check “Load ********.PCG too,” the .PCG file of the same name as the .KSC file will also be loaded.

•If you check “Load ********.SNG too,” the .SNG file of the same name as the .KSC file will also be loaded.

☞ “Load.PCG: 1”

3To load the data, press the [F8] (“OK”) key. To cancel without loading, press the [F7] (“Cancel”) key.

If the .KSF files used by the .KMP file are not in the cur- rent directory or below it, a dialog box will appear, allow- ing you to specify the directory. Use the procedure “If the file to load cannot be found,…” (☞ p.141) to load the required .KSF files.

Since overflow checking of sample data RAM is per- formed when loading each individual .KSF file, it is possible that an overflow may occur in the middle of the loading process.
