Loading Individual Pad Data/Waveform Data (Data Card/Backup Memory)

The ST-224 can individually extract pad data (waveform data and parameter setting information for a specific pad) from bulk data stored on a data card.

It is also possible to load regular waveform files (WAV or AIFF files) stored on a data card. This lets you use WAV files or AIFF files created on a computer as samples in the ST-224.

•int

ST-224 bulk data stored internally in the backup memory. Pad data comprised in the bulk data can be loaded into main memory and assigned as samples to pads.

•CardXX (XX = 1 - 99)

ST-224 bulk data stored on a data card. Pad data comprised in the bulk data can be loaded into main memory and assigned as samples to pads.

•FileXX (XX = 1 - 99)

Stereo or mono WAV files stored on a data card. Waveform data comprised in files can be loaded into main memory and assigned as samples to pads.

•AIFFXX (XX = 1 - 99)

Stereo or mono AIFF files stored on a data card. Waveform data comprised in files can be loaded into main memory and assigned as samples to pads.

NOTE

• When storing WAV files or AIFF files on a data card for use with

the ST-224, the files should be named "??.WAV" or "??.AIF" (??

 

 

stands for a number from 01 - 99). Files with other names are

 

disregarded.
