Sound Load

Notwithstanding the possibility to load a sample or an audio file from the disk using the usual procedures, the SD1 offers a short-cut called
SOUND LOAD. Pressing the SOUND LOAD button on the SD1 activates the Master Folder function and displays the contents of folder 94 Sound.
The SD1 divides the audio files into two different categories:
- Wave: audio file in .WAV format, easy to recognise because all starting with letter "w"
- MSP: multisample files, easy to recognise because all starting with letter "m"
A group of audio files to be loaded with one single operation is called Sound Block, whereas samples processed by Ketron are called Instrument
and contain all the information required for their optimal use with the SD1.
The SD1 is able to load up to a maximum of eight Wave or MSP files and up to 128 Instruments into the RAM memory.

LOADING AN AUDIO FILE

Press the SOUND LOAD button to open the Sound Load page. Here you may chose the type of audio file to be loaded pressing the function keys
F8 Dir Wave/MSP or F9 Dir Block/Instruments displaying all the files of the relevant type stored in the folder. If you wish to display the com-
plete contents of the folder, use the F1 Dir function.
The files to be loaded are selected as follows:
Use the VALUE +/- buttons to select the file.
Go to the next pages, if possible, pressing the CURSOR +/- buttons.
Confirm the selection of the file pressing F10 Select. The file will be highlighted with the symbol >
Repeat the previous operations if you wish to select a number of files to load
Press F2 Load to confirm that you actually wish to load into the memory all the selected files.
The audio files that have been loaded into the RAM are highlighted with the ♦ symbol so you can distinguish them in the Folder from those
not yet loaded.
The sounds loaded according to the above procedure will be available in the RAM/Flash bank. They can be reached pressing the RAM/FLASH
button and selected pressing the relevant function buttons. When a number of Instrument files are loaded, use the VOICES buttons to display
the subsequent pages.
The F2 Load button loads the audio files into the free memory locations of the RAM/Flash bank without deleting those loaded previously. If you
wish to load audio files removing those already existing from the RAM/Flash bank, after having selected the files to load, press the F4
Clear&Load button.
DELETING THE SOUNDS FROM THE RAM
