PCM Autoload
While most Sounds use samples, or PCM data, contained in
ROM – therefore always available –, some other Sounds may use
external samples, that must be loaded to RAM to be used. These
Sounds may have been loaded from disk, or created in Sampling
mode.
Since loading may take time, you can choose whether to auto-
matically load or not these samples when turning the instrument
on.
If samples have not been loaded when turning the instrument
on, you can press the Load PCM button in this page to load
them.
Warning: When loading PCM data, all existing PCM data in
memory are deleted. Save them before loading the folder, by select-
ing the "PCM" option during a Save All operation (see "Saving the
full memory content" on page 265).
On When turning the instrument on, external sam-
ples used by some Sounds are automatically
loaded to RAM.
Off When turning the instrument on, external sam-
ples used by some Sounds are not automatically
loaded. Therefore, these Sound will be muted,
until you use the Load PCM button to load them
to RAM.
Load PCM button
Press this button to load to RAM all sample (or PCM data) used
by some Sounds loaded fro disk, or created in Sampling mode.
Not available if no User PCM Samples are used by any Sound.

USB/CD: USB

The USB interface allows you to access the internal hard disk
from a personal computer (Windows or Macintosh), by just
connecting the Pa1X to its USB interface. This way, you can
quickly backup data from the internal hard disk of the Pa1X to
your personal computer, or exchange data between the Pa1X and
a personal computer.
Note: Windows 2000 and XP, as well as Mac OSX, can be directly
connected to the Pa1X. To connect a Windows 98 computer you
need a dedicated driver, available on www.korgpa.com.
Hint: While USB communication is enabled, you cannot access
other functions on the Pa1X. We suggest you use the USB just after
turning the instrument on, and turn the instrument off and on
again after using and disconnecting it, to be sure USB activities will
not interfere with other disk operations.
Hard Disk USB Connection
Normally, USB is not activated on the Pa1X. Press the Enable
button to turn it on, or the Disable button (with all caveats) to
turn it off.
Enable After connecting Pa1X to a personal computer by
using a standard USB cable (Pa1X is the B – or
slave – device, while the personal computer is the
A – or master – device), press this button to
enable communication.
The DISK LED will start blinking, while the per-
sonal computer reads the internal hard disk of the
Pa1X. When finished (this may take some min-
utes, depending on the hard disk size), the icon of
