Loading data from disk Loading Songs, sounds, samples, and KARMA GEs together
201
Clear Sampling Mode Data will erase all Multisamples and
Samples from Sampling Mode, and load the data in the same
configuration with which it was saved. Existing EXs and
User Sample Bank data is left intact.
Clear All is similar to Clear Sampling Mode Data, above,
but also un-loads existing EXs and User Sample Bank data
before loading the new .KSC file. This frees up the most
memory for the new .KSC.
You can use the information at the bottom of the dialog box,
including Memory Required, (Memory) Available, and
Enough slots for Samples & MS, to determine whether or
not you need to free up room for the new .KSC.
12.Set the Load Method for EXs and User Sample Banks
as desired.
This sets the preferred way to load the EXs and User Sample
Bank data in the KSC: load it 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 Banks;
Sampling Mode data is always loaded into RAM.
RAM: The samples will be loaded into RAM. This has the
advantage of allowing reverse playback.
Virtual Memory: The samples will use Virtual Memory.
This generally allows you to load more large samples at
once. Note that the samples may still require a significant
amount of RAM
KSC Settings: KSCs can store separate load method settings
for each Multisample or Drumsample, based on the settings
when the KSC was saved. Setting Load Method for EXs
and User Sample Banks to KSC Settings uses these
individual settings.
13.Press the OK button to load the data.
Never remove or disconnect USB storage devices while
data is being loaded.
Loading multiple files at once
You can use “wildcards” to specify multiple .KMP, .KSF,
.AIF, .WAV, SoundFont 2, Akai Program, and Akai Sample
files, and load them simultaneously. For more information,
see “Loading multiple files at once” on page 837 of the
Parameter Guide.
