5. Wait a few seconds to allow USB devices to be
recognized.
6. Use Drive Select to select the desired device.
If you are using a removable disk, insert the media.
After you exchange media in your USB device, press
the LCD screen to make the KRONOS detect the
media. When the media has been detected, the LCD
screen will display information about the media.
7. If the media needs to be formatted, execute the
Format operation.
Media requiring formatting is indicated as
Unformatted in Drive Select. For more information,
see "Formatting media" on page 188.
Saving memory contents to disk
You can save various types of data individually, as
listed under "Saving to disk, CDs, and USB media" on
page 181. However, you can also save all of the most
important contents of memory at once, including:
• Set Lists, Programs, Combinations, Drum Kits,
Wave Sequences, User Drum Track Patterns, and
global settings
• Songs and recorded audio
• Sampling Mode Multisamples and Samples
• Links to loaded EXs and User Sample Bank data
If you save this data to low‐capacity media, you
may need more than one disk.
To save all of the above data at once:
1. Prepare the media on which you want to save the
data. (See "Media setup" on page 186.)
2. Press the front‐panel DISK switch to enter Disk
mode.
3. Select the Disk–Save page. Press the File tab, and
then the Save tab.
4. Press Drive Select to select the save‐destination
drive.
5. If the media contains directories, select the
directory in which you want to save the data.
Press the Open button to move to a lower level, or
press the Up button to move to an upper level.
Note: If you are saving data on high‐capacity media, we
recommend that you create directories to organize the
media into sections.
To create a new directory, move to the level at which
you want to create the directory, and use the Utility
page menu command Create Directory.
6. Select the Save All command from the page menu.
Save All will save the sounds, songs, and sample data,
and KARMA GEs at the same time.
A dialog box will appear. The contents, settings, and
operations for the dialog box will depend on the type
of data that you are saving.

7. Press the text edit button and enter a name for the
files. (See "Editing names" on page 184.)
All of the files created by Save All will share this name,
but with different file extensions. If you load one of
these files later, you'll be given the option to
automatically load all of the other related files as
well—a handy time‐saver.
8. For now, leave all of the boxes checked in the
Selection button dialogs.
There are individual check‐boxes for each bank of
Programs and Combis, and for various other types of
data. Leaving all of these checked ensures that you're
saving everything you'll need.
9. Press the OK button to execute the Save operation.
All of the data will be saved, creating a handful of
different files. For details, see "File types included in
Save All," below.
When the save is complete, the system returns to the
Save page, and the display will show the resulting
file(s). The amount of time required will depend on the
amount of data being saved.
If a file with the same name already exists on the
media, you will be asked whether you want to
overwrite. If you wish to overwrite, press the OK
button. If you wish to save without overwriting, press
the Cancel button, re‐do the operation from step 6, and
rename the data in step 7 before saving it.
Split files
If the data does not fit onto the selected volume, the
"No space available on medium" dialog box will
appear. You can press the OK button to divide the file
will be divided and save it to multiple volumes of
media (such as multiple USB sticks). If you don't want
to divide the file, press the Cancel button, and save the
file to larger‐capacity media.
For more information, see "Save All (PCG, SNG and
KSC)" on page 846 of the Parameter Guide.
