Parent
When you first open a directory for viewing, the index is 1 (the first file in the list). The PC3K
remembers the index of the previous directory you were in before you pressed Open, so if you
return to that directory by pressing Parent, the index changes accordingly. This index is
remembered for one level down, and therefore is useful when stepping through a list of
subdirectories from a single directory level.
In the Load function, pressing Open for a standard file will start the Load Object feature. This
allows selected individual objects from the file to be loaded into the PC3K. For example,
pressing Open while in the Delete function will display the objects within the file in a scrollable
list, however no delete action will be possible on the individual objects.
Pressing the OK soft button will cause the PC3K to proceed with the selected function. After
pressing OK, there may be further dialogs such as bank specification (for the Load function),
confirmation (for Delete), or name entry (for Rename). One exception to this is in the Load
function; when a directory is highlighted, pressing OK is the same as pressing Open (it displays
the contents of the highlighted directory).
Export
Press the EXPORT soft button to go to the Export page. The Export page allows you to export
MIDI files created in Song mode, or lists of controller assignment info that are automatically
created for each Program and each Chain.
To export a MIDI file created in Song mode, the song must be currently loaded in Song mode.
Go to Song mode and load the desired song, then return to the Storage mode EXPORT page and
press the Song soft button. You will be prompted first to choose a directory to save the file into,
and then you will be prompted to name the MIDI file. When you name the file, you can use the
Type field to choose to export either a Standard MIDI File type 1 (saves with multiple channels,)
or Standard MIDI File type 0 (saves all channels as 1 channel.)
To export a list of controller assignment info for all Programs, press the PrInfo soft button. You
will be prompted to choose a directory to save into, and then you will be prompted to name the
info file. A comma separated value file will be exported.
To export a list of controller assignment info for all Chains, press the FXInfo soft button. You
will be prompted to choose a directory to save into, and then you will be prompted to name the
info file. A comma separated value file will be exported.
Format
USB devices come formatted and ready to use with the PC3K. If you ever need to format a
device, however, you can use any computer with USB device formatting capability, or format it
using the PC3K.
To format a USB device with the PC3K, plug the USB device into the PC3K's USB Storage port,
then press the Storage button to enter Storage mode. Press the soft button labeled Format. The
PC3K will ask you if you want to format. Press the OK soft button to format the device, or the
Cancel soft button to return to the Storage mode main page.
Caution: Formatting will erase all files on the USB device, make sure anything that you wish
to save is backed up on another device.
