Loading Data Created With The Pa80/ Pa60/Pa50; Card Structure; File Types - Korg microARRANGER Owner's Manual

Organizing your data into separate folders
We suggest to organize your data into separate folders,
instead of saving many files into the root (i.e., the main
level) of the card. This allows for faster accesses to the
card, thus a quicker response of the microARRANGER
to your CARD commands.
LOADING DATA CREATED WITH THE PA80/
PA60/PA50
microARRANGER data is perfectly interchangeable
with its Pa80, Pa60 and Pa50 counterparts. The only
data microARRANGER can't load from Pa80/Pa60 is
the following:
• Digital Drawbar Programs
• Input 1/2 settings
• VHG1 Vocal/Guitar Processor Board settings
• EC5 settings
• TO HOST port setting
• Audio Output routing
At the same time, Pa80 and Pa60 can read any data cre‐
ated with the microARRANGER and Pa50.

CARD STRUCTURE

Each card (and the internal memory) can contain files
and folders. The data structure in microARRANGER is
slightly more rigorously determined than in a com‐
puter, due to the pre‐configured data structure inside
the instrument's memory. The diagram on the right
shows the global structure of a microARRANGER
card.
Note: Style banks from 1 to 16 (Factory Styles) can be seen
in Card mode only when the "Factory Style Protect" param‐
eter is set to Off (see page 142), and only when loading or
saving a single Style bank.
