Loading Data - Korg KRONOS Quick Start Manual

Press the Open button to move to a lower level, or
press the Up button to move to an upper level.
Depending on how you work, you may wish to create
directories for different projects. To create a new
directory, move to the level at which you want to create
the directory, and use the Create Directory menu
command on the Disk–Utility page.
5. On the Disk–Save page, press the page menu
button to open the page menu, and select the Save
All command.
This command will save a set of .PCG, .SNG, and .KSC
files all at once.
A dialog box will appear.
6. Press the text edit button ("T") and enter a name
for the files.
All of the files will share the same name, with different
suffixes to show the data type (.PCG, .SNG, .KSC).
Note: If the Songs include audio tracks, the audio data
will be saved as WAVE files. These are stored in a
directory named after the .SNG plus "_A" (for Audio)
at the end, in the same directory as the .SNG file itself.
7. Press each Selection button to note the items being
saved, such as the individual banks of Programs
and Combinations.
You can choose to save only some of the data. This is
handy, for instance, when saving a bank of sounds to
share with other musicians. For now, however, let's
leave all of the boxes checked, so that all of the internal
data is saved.
8. Press the OK button to Save the data to disk.
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 there are User Multisamples and Samples in RAM,
they will be saved to disk as .KMP and .KSF files,
respectively. Directories for these files will be created
automatically.
NOTE: When saving Combinations, remember to also
save the Programs it uses, as well as the Drum Kits and
Wave Sequences used by the Programs. Similarly,
when saving Programs, remember to save the Drum
Kits and Wave Sequences used by the programs.
Saving and loading data
When you use Load PCG to load a .PCG file, the
identically‐named .KSC file will also be loaded so that
the correct multisamples/samples will correspond
automatically.

Loading data

You can load the entire contents of memory at once,
including sound data (Programs, Combinations, etc.),
Songs, and sample data. To do so:
1. Press the DISK button to enter Disk mode.
2. Press the File tab, and then the Load tab, to go to
the Disk–Load page.
3. Optionally, Press Drive Select to select the drive
from which to load.
The internal drive is the default.
4. Navigate to the directory that contains the file you
want to load, and select the .SNG file.
Select a directory (shown as a folder icon) and press
the Open button to move to a lower level, or press the
Up button to move to a higher level.
The selected .SNG file will be highlighted.
5. Press the red Load button at the bottom of the
page.
(You can also use the Load Selected menu command.)
A dialog box will appear, containing a number of
options.
6. Select the "Load [filename].PCG too" and "Load
[filename].KSC too" check boxes.
When these boxes are checked, the system looks for
.PCG and .KSC files with the same name as the main
.SNG file.
7. Set ".PCG Contents" to All.
Optionally, you can load only some of the data from
the .PCG file.
8. Use "Select .SNG Allocation" to specify how the
Songs will be loaded, and whether or not existing
Songs will be erased.
Append loads the Songs into the first free Song
numbers following the song(s) which are already in
memory.
Clear will erase all songs from internal memory, and
load the Songs into the exact numbers from which they
were saved.
