Loading data
Types of data that can be loaded
The data that can be loaded from external media (e.g.,
SD card) is shown in the diagram below. (
☞For details
on each type of data, refer to PG p.141)
If the EXB-SMPL option is installed, data can also be
loaded from media such as a hard disk or CD-ROM.
Data loading procedure
Loading Programs, Combinations, Drum
kits, User arpeggio patterns, and Global
settings (loading a .PCG file)
As an example, here’s how to load a .PCG file. A .PCG
file contains programs, combinations, drum kits, user
arpeggiator patterns, and global settings (see diagram
below).
Select this if you have used “Save All” or “Save PCG”
to save your own original programs and combinations,
and want to reload this data.
If you want to load programs, combinations,
songs, user drum kits, and user arpeggio patterns,
you must first uncheck the memory protect setting
in Global mode. (
☞p.43)
1 If you are loading data from SD card, insert the SD
card into the SD card slot.
For details on handling SD cards, please refer to
“Cautions when handling an SD card.”
If the separately sold EXB-SMPL option is
installed and you are loading data from a hard
disk or other external SCSI device, refer to the
manual included with the EXB-SMPL, and verify
that the external SCSI device is connected cor-
rectly and that the media contains the file you
want to load.
