Loading data from disk Loading individual banks from a .PCG file

Loading individual banks from a .PCG file
1. Select the .PCG file containing the data you want to
load.
Refer to steps 1–4 of “Loading Songs, sounds, samples,
and KARMA GEs together” on page 200.” Select the .PCG
file in step 4.
2. Press the Load button.
You can load individual banks by using “.PCG Contents” in
the dialog box to select the load-source bank, and “To” to
select the load-destination bank.
When you press OK, the source bank’s Programs,
Combinations, Drum Kits, and Wave Sequences will be
loaded into the destination bank. Global setting data will not
be loaded.
If you set “.PCG Contents” to Bank INT–A, and “To” to
Bank INT–A, data will be loaded as follows.
Programs
• Bank INT–A: loaded into Bank INT–A
Combinations
• Bank INT–A: loaded into Bank INT–A
Drum Kits
• INT: loaded into Bank INT
Wave Sequences
• INT: loaded into Bank INT
When data is loaded into a bank that is different than its
original bank, the data (bank, program, pattern, and kit
numbers, etc.) will automatically be reconfigured so that
after loading, the various types of data will correspond
correctly in each mode.
The following data will also be reconfigured automatically if
you have checked “Load .SNG too” (so that song data is
loaded at the same time), the following data will also be
reconfigured automatically in order to ensure that the song
data plays back correctly.
• The bank of each program used by combinations
• The bank of each drum kit and wave sequence used by
each program
• The bank of the program used by each track of the song
• If the song contains track/pattern events, the program
banks within these events
Loading data by individual item or bank
The KRONOS lets you load programs, combinations, drum
kits, and wave sequences individually or by individual
banks.
This is a convenient way to rearrange combinations in the
order in which you will use them during a live performance.
Be aware that if you change the order of Programs, the
sounds played by Combinations may also be affected.
As an example here, we will explain how a Combination
saved in bank INT-F can be loaded into INT-E000.
1. Move to the “Bank INT-F” directory, and select the
combination that you want to load. (.PCG
file/Combinations/Bank INT-F/)
The procedure is as follows.
1) Perform steps 1–5 under “Loading Songs, sounds,
samples, and KARMA GEs together” on page 200.
Select the .PCG file containing the data you want to load
(it will be highlighted), and press the Open button.
2) Press “Combinations” to highlight it, and press the
Open button.
3) Press “Bank F” to highlight it, and press the Open
button.
4) Press the scroll bar to find the combination you want to
load, and highlight it in the display.
Alternatively, you could select any file, since the desired
file can be selected later from the dialog box.
