Using the KSC Auto-Load list to select which samples to load

What's a KSC?
KSC stands for Korg Sample Collection. KSC files contain
links to SAMPLING mode, EXs, and/or User Sample Bank
data, including Multisamples, Samples, and Drumsamples.
Loading a KSC file loads all of the linked data.
You can load KSC files in MEDIA mode, and the
NAUTILUS can also automatically load one or more KSC
files at startup. The Global KSC Auto-Load page lets you
keep a list of your favorite KSC files, and select which ones
from the list are loaded automatically at startup. You can also
load KSC files immediately, without re-starting, directly
from this page.
Note that you can keep files in the list without loading them.
For instance, you might have one KSC file for a recording
project, and a different KSC file for a live band. The list lets
you keep them at hand for easy loading when desired, and
may often be more convenient than using MEDIA mode.
Note: The KSC Auto-Load settings are saved automatically,
and are not part of the Global PCG file.
Adding a KSC to the list
To add a KSC to the list:
1. Go to the GLOBAL > Basic Setup– KSC Auto-Load
page.
2. Press the Add KSC button.
The Add KSC file dialog appears, allowing you to select
KSC files from drive.
3. Select the desired KSC files.
You can use Multiple select to choose more than one file,
if desired.
4. Press Add.
The selected KSC files will be added to the list.
Note: When you load a KSC in MEDIA mode, it's
automatically added to the list on a temporary basis. If
you then check the KSC's Auto-load check-box, the
KSC is added to the list just as if it had been added by
using Add KSC. Otherwise, any automatically-added
KSCs are cleared from the list at the next startup.
Removing a KSC from the list
You can also remove KSCs from the list. Note that this only
affects the contents of the list; it does not affect the files
themselves. To do so:
1. Select the KSC file that you'd like to remove.
2. Press the Remove KSC button.
A confirmation dialog appears.
3. Press OK.
The KSC file will be removed from the list.
Selecting which KSC will be loaded
To select whether or not a KSC will be loaded:
1. Check or un-check the Auto-load box next to the KSC
name in the list.
That's it! The next time that the system powers on, the
checked KSC files will be loaded. You can also load them
immediately, as described below.
Applying changes immediately
Normally, changes the auto-load settings only take affect
after the next restart. You can also load and un-load KSCs
immediately.
Important: this will clear all RAM and EXs data in
memory. If you have any un-saved edits to RAM Sample or
Multisample data, make sure that you save your edits before
proceeding!
1. Press the Do Auto-load Now button.
A confirmation dialog appears.
2. Press OK.
Any changes you've made by adding or removing KSC files
will be applied, with sample data loaded and un-loaded as
necessary. Note that this may take some time to complete.
The Do auto-load now button is grayed out if the selected
samples exceed the maximum available RAM, # of MS, # of
Samples, or # of MS Indexes.
Loading into RAM or Virtual Memory
The Load Method sets the preferred way to load the KSC's
samples: load them entirely into RAM, or use Virtual
Memory.
Note that if the data is extremely large, and would not fit into
RAM regardless of which other samples were loaded, the
data will use Virtual Memory regardless of this setting.
These settings apply only to EXs and User Sample Bank
data; Sampling Mode Data is always loaded into RAM.
RAM: The samples will be loaded into RAM. This has the
advantage of allowing reverse sample playback.
