DISK STRUCTURE

Each disk (and the internal memory) can contain files and folders. The data structure in Pa50 is slightly more rigorously determined than in a computer, due to the pre-configured data structure inside the instrument’s memory. The diagram on the left shows the global structure of a Pa50 disk.

Note: Style banks from 1 to 16 (Factory Styles) can be seen in Disk mode only when the “Factory Style Protect” parameter is set to Off (see page 142), and only when loading or saving a sin- gle Style bank.

FILE TYPES

The following tables describe all the file and folder types the Pa50 can manage. Here are the files you can read or write on the Pa50.

Extension	File/folder type
SET	All the User data. (This is a folder containing
	other folders).
GBL	Global, Seq1+Seq2 Setup
PRF	Performance
PCG	User Program
STY	User Style

The Pa50 can also read the following common types of data.

Extension	File type
MID	Midi file (Standard MIDI File, SMF)
KAR	Karaoke file
JBX	Jukebox

FILE AND FOLDER SIZE DISPLAY
