Writing Global Settings And User Drum Kits; Saving On Floppy Disk - Korg Karma Basic Manual

Writing global settings and user drum
kits
The settings you edit in Global mode can be written
into internal memory. This is done using the operations
Write Global Setting and Write User Drum Kits. If
you wish to use these settings after turning the power
off, be sure to write the data.
There are two ways to write global settings and user
drum kits.
Before you write a user drum kit, the Global mode
memory protect setting must be turned off
( "Memory protect").
Using a utility menu command to write
1 To write global settings (the various settings in
GLOBAL 1.1–4.1, 6.1), select the utility menu com-
mand "Write Global Setting" in GLOBAL 1.1–4.1,
6.1, and press the [F8] ("OK") key.
The Write Global Setting dialog box will appear.
To write user drum kits, select the utility menu
command "Write Drum Kits" in GLOBAL 5.1, and
press the [F8] ("OK") key.
The Write Drum Kits dialog box will appear.
The same dialog box will also appear if, in each of
the above pages, you hold down the [ENTER] key
and press the [0] key.

2 To execute the Write operation, press the [F8]
("OK") key. To cancel, press the [F7] ("Cancel")

will ask "Are you sure?" Press the [F8] ("OK") key
once again to write the data.

Memory in Global mode
When the power is turned on, the Global mode data is
called from internal memory into the Global mode
memory area. Then when you modify the parameters
in Global mode, the data in the memory area will be
modified. If you wish to save this modified data in
internal memory, you must write it.
When you write, the data in the memory area will be
written into the global settings and drum kits, of inter-
nal memory.
If you turn off the power without writing, the modified
data in the memory area will be lost.
Memory Area
When you write, the various
Write
Global mode settings will be
saved in internal memory.

Saving on Floppy disk

For details on the data that can be saved on floppy
disk. ( p.37 "Types of data that can be saved").
Song data, patterns and cue lists in this instru-
ment's Sequencer mode cannot be written into
internal memory. This data will disappear when
the power is turned off. If you wish to keep this
data, you must save it on a floppy disk.
Other types of data can also be saved on a floppy
disk, and loaded to restore the original settings
even if they have been modified. It is a good idea
to save favorite settings that you create.
As an example, we will explain how to save the
following data.
• Internal memory programs, combinations, global
settings, drum kits, user arpeggio patterns
• Songs, cue lists, patterns
1 If you wish to save the data on a floppy disk, insert
a floppy disk into this instrument's floppy disk
drive.
For details on floppy disk handling, be sure to refer
to "Cautions when handling floppy disks" ( p.95).
Format the disk if necessary ( PG p.156)
2 Press the [DISK] key. You will enter Disk mode.
Editing will affect the data that has
been called into the memory area.
Edit
When the power is turned on,
the settings are called into
Power On
the memory area.
