Media mode
bank and number of the combination that will be cre-
ated by the convert-load operation.
When you execute the command, the combinations that are
created will be loaded starting at the bank and number you
specify here.
3. If you checked "Advanced Conversion Load," use
"Append to: Program" to specify the destination bank
and number of the program that will be created by the
convert-load operation.
When you execute the command, the programs that are
created will be loaded starting at the bank and number you
specify here.
Note: The multisamples and samples that are loaded will be
loaded after the last multisample and sample currently
existing in sample RAM. The Program files and Sample files
loaded at this time will be packed into available spaces
(Append load), loading only the valid data.
Note: If the Sample files used by the Program file are not in
the current directory or below it, a dialog box will appear,
allowing you to specify the directory. Use the procedure "If
a file to be loaded cannot be found, or when loading a file
that was saved across media" on page 398 to load the
required Sample files.
Since sample RAM overflow checking is performed
when loading each sample file, an overflow may occur
during the loading process.
Depending on the structure of the AKAI Program, the
data may be converted into two or more programs and
one combination when it is loaded. In this case, the
number of programs created is limited to a maximum
of sixteen (the maximum number of programs usable in
a combination), and a message of "Exceeded 16
Programs - some data not loaded" may appear (see OG
page 216). Please be aware of this when loading
complex AKAI Program data.
If the loading-destination bank and number exceed U–
G127, loading will automatically stop.
The data in the locations following the specified bank/
number will be rewritten when you load. If you want to
keep this data, use Save All or Save PCG before you
load the AKAI Program data.
31) Load AKAI Volume
You can load Program files and Sample files in a single
operation from a Volume on an AKAI S1000/S3000 format
sample CD. On AKAI S1000/S3000 format sample CDs, the
Program files and Sample files are organized into Partitions
and Volumes (See page 390, diagram)
1. If you check "Advanced Conversion Load," all Sample
files included in the selected volume will be loaded as
samples.
Program file settings such as key group, key group zone,
oscillator, pitch, filter, amp/pan, and EG will be converted
into a M3 program, or into programs and a combination.
(Multisamples will also be convert-loaded.)
406
If you don't check this, all Sample files included in the
selected volume will be loaded as samples, and the Program
file will be loaded as a multisample. Only the keymap-
related parameters from the Program file will be loaded to
create a multisample. (See "About AKAI Program files" on
page 633)
2. If you checked "Advanced Conversion Load," use
"Append to: Combination" to specify the destination
bank and number of the combination that will be cre-
ated by the convert-load operation.
When you execute the command, the combinations that are
created will be loaded starting at the bank and number you
specify here.
3. If you checked "Advanced Conversion Load," use
"Append to: Program" to specify the destination bank
and number of the program that will be created by the
convert-load operation.
When you execute the command, the programs that are
created will be loaded starting at the bank and number you
specify here.
If the loading-destination bank and number exceed U–
G127, loading will automatically stop.
The data in the locations following the specified bank/
number will be rewritten when you load. If you want to
keep this data, use Save All or Save PCG before you
load the AKAI Program data.
Loading SoundFont 2.0 format files
The M3 can load SoundFont 2.0 format files.
SoundFont 2.0 is a file format that includes sound
parameters with the sample data, and is widely supported
in the multimedia field as well as by many software
synthesizers and software samplers.
SoundFont 2.0 format files may contain data for multiple
sounds – not just a single sound. When you load a single
SoundFont 2.0 file into the M3, all sound data included in
that file will be loaded together.
Note: You can't load individual items of sound data from
within the file.
• Sound parameters such as key group, key group zone,
oscillator, pitch, filter, amp/pan, LFO, and EG are
supported, and will be converted to an M3 program or a
combination and programs as they are loaded.
• Sample data will be converted into multisamples and
samples, and loaded into user sample RAM.
Note: The loaded samples will automatically be given the
names of the sample data within the SoundFont 2.0 file.
Convert-loaded multisamples, programs, and combinations
will automatically be given the names of the sound data
within the SoundFont 2.0 file as follows.
Loading to multisamples or programs
• Samples: sample data name
• Multisamples: sound data name + number
• Programs: sound data name + number
Loading to multisamples, programs, or combinations
• Samples: sample data name
• Multisamples: sound data name + number
• Programs: *sound data name + number
• Combinations: sound data name + number
An asterisk * will be added in front of programs that make
up a combination.
SoundFont 2.0 files
If sample data that has the same settings is used in
more than one item of sound data in a SoundFont 2.0
file, the sample data will be loaded into the first-loaded
