bank will be saved. (You cannot save ROM objects. If you wish to save a ROM object, such as a
program, you must Þrst save it internally as a RAM program.) If any objects within the selected
bank have dependent RAM objects that exist in a different bank, you will be asked if you want
to save dependent objects. See page 13-26 for more on saving dependent objects.
Use one of the data entry methods to select a bank to be saved. If you press the Cancel soft
button, youÕll return to the Disk mode page. After youÕve selected the bank, press OK. The
following page will appear:

You can now name the Þle according to the naming procedures outlined in Chapter 5. You can
enter up to eight characters. When youÕve entered a name, press ÒOKÓ to save the Þle as shown
in the display, or press Cancel to return to the Þle dialog. When the Þle is saved, the K2vx adds
an extension (.KRZ) to the Þlename. This enables the K2vx to recognize it as a Kurzweil Þle
when it examines the diskÕs directory.
Saving Master and Everything Files
Among your choices in the Bank dialog are Master Þles and Everything Þles. Master Þles
consist primarily of the items on the Master mode page and the three MIDI mode pages. They
also include information like marked pages, view settings, and MIDI channel and program
assignment. In fact, saving Master Þles (or dumping them via SysEx) is a good way to conÞgure
your K2vx (or another K2vx) to your performance or sequencing needs. For example, you
might save different Master Þles with every sequence you create using an external sequencer.
Then, when you load the Master Þle, you would have all the correct programs assigned to the
appropriate MIDI channels.
Everything Þles consist of the Master Þle parameters and every other RAM object. Saving an
Everything Þle will literally save everything in RAM, including samples, into a single Þle.
These can be quite large, so if you donÕt have a hard disk, be sure to have a few preformatted
ßoppy disks handy.
Split Files
When youÕre saving memory banks, itÕs not uncommon to create Þles larger than 720K or even
1.4MÑespecially when youÕre saving RAM samples. If youÕre saving to ßoppy disks, the K2vx
will create split Þles stored on multiple disks. A little advance preparation is necessary for this.
If the K2vx Þlls a ßoppy disk before it Þnishes saving a Þle, it will prompt you to insert a second
disk in the ßoppy drive. This disk must be preformatted; the K2vx will not format disks in the
middle of a save operation. When the second disk is inserted, the K2vx will continue to save.
This process will be repeated until the entire Þle is saved. The K2vx marks these disks
internally with a number that indicates the sequence in which they were saved.
When youÕre loading these split Þles, they must be inserted in the same sequence as they were
saved. When the K2vx has loaded the contents of the Þrst disk, it will prompt you to insert the
second disk, and so on. Make sure to label your disks as soon as you save to them, so youÕll
keep them in the correct order.
