Saving your song
Here we will explain how to save your song on a USB
storage device (commercially available) connected to
the USB A connector.
To ensure that your data will be reproduced perfectly,
we recommend that you use Save All to save your
song.
When you turn off the power, the Sequencer mode
settings, the recorded songs, and the user pattern
data will be lost.
To save your data, proceed as follows.
1. Make sure that the media is able to save data.
(“Setting up media”)
2. Press the MODE MEDIA switch to enter Media
mode.
3. Press the Save tab to access the Media– Save page.
4. Use “Media Select” to specify the save-
destination.
5. If the drive contains directories, select the
directory in which you want to save the data.
Press the Open button to move to a lower level of the
directory structure, or the Up button to move to a
higher level.
If you want to create a new directory, move to the level
at which you want to create the directory, and execute
the Utility menu command Create Directory.
6. Press the menu button to access the “Save All.” If
you’ve chosen “Save All,” .PCG, .SNG, and .KSC
files will be saved.
7. Use the text edit button to enter the filename with
which you want to save the data.
8. Press the OK button to execute the Save operation.
9. When saving is complete and you return to the
Save page, the display will show the file that was
saved.
The various types of data are saved as the following
files.
.PCG file
Programs, combinations, drum kits, RADIAS formant
motions, user Drum Track patterns and global settings
from internal memory
.SNG file
Sequencer song data, cue list and user patterns
.KSC file
A file that lists the multisamples and samples
Directory
The multisamples (.KMP files) and samples (.KSF files)
listed in the .KSC file are stored within a directory on
the media.
The data will be saved to the media you specified, and
you will return to the Save page.
The time required for saving will depend on the
amount of data.
If the media contains an identically-named file, you
will be asked whether you want to overwrite the
existing data. Press the OK button if you want to
overwrite the data that’s already on the media. If you
don’t want to overwrite the existing data, press the
Cancel button, return to step 6, rename the data in step
7, and save it again.
Saving a template song
If you want the programs, track parameters, effect
settings, and KARMA settings etc. used by a song to be
saved as a Template song, use the Save Template Song
menu command to save these settings.
