Loading data from media
(Media-Load)
Loading all programs, combinations, drum
kits, and arpeggio patterns
Here's how all data from a .PCG file containing
programs, combinations, drum kits, global settings,
and user arpeggio patterns can be loaded in a single
operation.
In order to load programs, combinations, songs,
drum kits, or user arpeggio patterns, you must first
make sure that the Global/Media mode memory
protect setting is off. (p. 59 "Memory protect")
Note: For details on the media from which data can be
loaded, please refer to p. 60.
1. Make sure that the media is ready for loading.
(p. 60 "Inserting/removing a card in the SD card
slot")
2. Choose GLOBAL/MEDIA: Media ‐ Load, Load
PCG, and then press the  button.
The PCG files on the media will be displayed.
3. Use the  buttons to select the .PCG file that
contains the program or combination data you
want to load, and then press the  button.
4. Choose All PCG, and press the  button.
The display will indicate "OK?"
5. To begin the Load operation, press the  button.
All data of the .PCG file will be loaded into the
microSTATION.
Never remove the media while data is being
loaded.
Note: You can also load programs or combinations by
bank. Please refer to PG p. 68.
Loading individual items from a PCG file
The microSTATION also allows you to load individual
items or banks of program, combination, drum kit, or
user arpeggio pattern data. This is a convenient way to
rearrange combinations into the order in which you'll
be playing them live.
Be aware that editing a program will affect the
sound of any combination that uses that program.
As an example, here's how one combination that was
saved in bank A can be loaded into C127.
1. Choose GLOBAL/MEDIA: Media ‐ Load PCG.

Loading a song (.SNG) for use in Sequencer
mode
In this example, we'll explain how to load a song.
We will assume that this song uses programs, drum
kits, and user arpeggio patterns that you've edited. If
this is the case, it's best to load all data.
1. As described in "Loading all programs,
combinations, drum kits, and arpeggio
patterns" (p. 61), load the PCG file that is used
by the .SNG file you're going to load.
2. In GLOBAL/MEDIA: Media ‐ Load, choose Load
SNG.
