Saving data

Overview

There are three ways to save data; you can write it into
internal memory, save it to media (on the internal drive or
external USB storage media, including CD-R/RW), or
transmit it as a MIDI data dump.
Writing to internal memory
The following types of data can be written into the internal
memory.
• Programs
Programs 000–127 in banks A–T and a–t
• Combinations
Combinations 000–127 in banks A...N
• Global settings
(GLOBAL > Basic– Category Name)
• User Wave Sequences
Banks A: 000...149, Banks B...T: 00...31
• User Drum Kits
Banks A: 00...39, Banks G...T: 00...15
• User Drum Track Patterns
User 000...999
• User Arpeggio Pattern
A0000-A2048, B000-B127
• FX Presets
Preset 00...15 and User 00...15 for each effect
• User Template Songs
User 0...15. These include the program selections, track
parameters, effect settings, ARP settings, and the name
and tempo of the current song as a re-usable template.
For more information, see "Save Template Song" on
page 523 of the PG.
SAMPLING mode Multisamples and Samples must be
saved to and loaded from drive; they cannot be written
into internal memory.
This means that if you turn the power off and then on
once again, but do not re-load the necessary
Multisamples or Samples into SAMPLING mode, any
data that uses those Multisamples or Samples will not
sound as intended. This can include Combinations,
Programs, Drum Kits, Wave Sequences, and
Multisamples.
Once they've been saved to disk, you can set the
NAUTILUS to automatically load them at startup. For
details, see "Automatically loading sample data" on
page 179.
Loading & saving data
Saving to internal drive and USB media
The following file types can be saved to disk:
• .PCG files
Set Lists, Programs, Combinations, global settings,
Drum Kits, User Drum Track Patterns, Wave Sequences
and Arpeggio Pattern. (You can choose which data types
are included, via options in the Save dialog.)
• .SNG files
Song and region data.
• .KMP files
These are Korg format Multisamples.
• .KSF files
These are Korg format Samples.
• .KSC files
These store collections of EXs Multisamples and
Drumsamples, and/or User Multisamples and Samples.
• .KFX files
Effect preset data.
• .MID files
Saves a SEQUENCER mode song in Standard MIDI File
(SMF) format.
• .EXL files
System exclusive data from an external device that was
saved on the NAUTILUS. (This allows the NAUTILUS
to be used as a data filer.)
• .WAV and .AIF files:
User samples can be exported as WAVE or AIFF files.
