Load Operations

The load operations operate in the direction
Source –> RAM where the source can be Floppy
disk or Hard disk.
LOAD SINGLE
The Load Single command offers the following
possibilities:
LOAD SINGLE BLOCK
Rewrites the entire contents of RAM. Block data
contains: Setup file, Sounds, Presets, Style Pre-
sets, User Styles (and relative Presets), Songs
(and relative Presets).
LOAD SINGLE SETUP
Loads a Setup file into RAM. Setup files contain
information relating to the status of the instru-
ment's general functions (Tuning/Scale, Audio
Mic/Line settings, MIDI Lock status, MIDI chan-
nel configurations, Pedals Lock status and the
Pedals configuration). Load a disk-based Setup
file when you want to change the general status
of the instrument in a single step instead of pro-
gramming the individual parameters that consti-
tute a Setup file. Loading a Setup file into RAM
does not affect other data. Only one Setup file
resides in each Block.
LOAD SINGLE SONG
Loads Songs to RAM one at a time. This opera-
tion allows you to choose single Song files from
various different blocks and load to RAM in a pre-
ferred order. PS/GPS can load Songs from disk
in its own format (Song), in previous compatible
formats (WK, SK, PS, WX, SX), in standard MIDI
file format 0 or 1 and in Tune1000

LOAD SINGLE MIDI FILE
Loads disk-based MIDI files to RAM one at a time
Loading MIDI Files into RAM automatically con-
verts the files into PS/GPS format Songs. The
«Load MIDI File» procedure is almost identical
to «Load Single Song». In this case instead of
Song names, you'll see a list of files in the source
directory with the ".MID" extension. In some
cases, other names appear which represent sub-
directories containing other MIDI Files.
Important: When you load a MIDI File, track 17
is created automatically in order to be able to play
along with the Song in playback.
LOAD SINGLE SOUND
Loads single disk-based sounds to the Sound
Bank destinations. Loads Ram-Sounds as well
as RAM-Sounds. The «Load Single Sound» pro-
cedure is characterized by an increased number
of steps, owing to the fact that there are 16 Sound
Groups, each consisting of 8 Banks of 16 slots.
You can choose to load your Ram-Sounds any-
where you want, but it is recommended that you
load to the original Sound Group to facilitate fu-
ture selection.
Load Single Sound also features a Sound Search
function. Owing to the large PS/GPS Sound li-
brary, you might find it easier to pass directly to a
Sound bank by specifying the name of a Sound
that occupies a particular bank. From there, you
can then easily select a destination for the Sound
being loaded. The Sound Search procedure is
explained in detail on pages 4.28.
LOAD SINGLE GLOBAL PRESET
Loads a single Preset to any of the 64 locations
format. of the Global Preset Groups (1-8). The incoming
™
Presets overwrite those in RAM. The original fac-
tory-set Presets can be restored at any time with
the Restore Preset operation.
