Loading & saving data, and creating CDs
204
Note: When you press the keyboard of the KRONOS, the
selected combination will sound. However, the internal
programs will be used as the program of each timbre.
2. Press the page menu button and select the “Load
Selected” page menu command.
The dialog box will appear.
3. Use the “Combination” (upper line) to select the load-
source combination, and use “(To) Combination”
(lower line) to specify the destination combination.
For this example, select INT-E000.
As shipped from the factory, this Combi location is empty; it
has no name, and makes no sound.
4. Press the OK button to execute loading; the loaded
combination will be assigned to INT-E000.
Loading the samples required by Programs or Combinations
Loading samples required by a single
Program or Combination
Programs and Combinations may sometimes require sample
data that’s not currently loaded. If this happens, the message
Samples Not Loaded appears at the top of the display. You
can easily load the required sample data, and save the results
so that it can be loaded automatically in the future. To do so:
1. Go to the P0:Play page for the Program or
Combination.
2. Select the menu command Load required samples.
This command is only available when the Samples Not
Loaded message appears at the top of the display.
A dialog box will appear, with a list of all of the missing
Multisamples, Samples, and/or Drum Samples required by
the Program or Combination, including the bank(s)
containing the data.
3. Select the “Load only required samples” radio button
to load the listed data.
The bottom of the dialog box shows the Memory Required
and (Memory) Available. If there isn’t enough room to load
the samples, you’ll need to un-load other samples before
continuing.
4. Press Load to load the data, or Cancel to exit without
loading.
5. Repeat as desired for other Programs or
Combinations.
If you’d like to automatically load the sample data in the
future:
6. Save the result as a new KSC file.
To do so, follow the instructions under “Saving a KSC file”
on page 176.
7. Set up the new KSC file to load automatically at
startup.
Follow the instructions under “Adding a KSC to the list” on
page 174.
Creating a custom sample set
Load required samples also lets you create custom sample
sets based on your favorite Programs, even if they use
different EXs or User Sample Banks. To do so:
1. Save any data you’ve created in Sampling Mode. (The
next steps will erase all Sampling Mode data.)
For more information, see “Saving a KSC file” on page 176.
2. Go to the KSC Auto-Load page in Global mode.
3. Un-check all KSCs.
4. Press the Do Auto-Load Now button.
This clears out all other sample data, so that the KSC you
eventually save will include only the data loaded in step 5,
below.
5. One by one, select the desired Programs. For each
one, use the Load required samples command to load
its sample data.
6. Save a new KSC with a different name (such as
Custom.KSC), with Include set to “Links to EXs and
User Sample Banks.”
For more information, see “Saving a KSC file” on page 176.
This new KSC now links to all of the sample data required
by the Programs.
7. Go to the KSC Auto-Load page in Global mode, and
re-enable KSCs as desired. Remember to include your
newly-created KSC!
Loading samples required by a bank of
Programs or Combinations
If a bank of Programs or Combinations all require a specific
EXs or User Sample Bank, you can easily load the whole
bank of samples at once. To do so:
1. Go to the P0:Play page for the Program or
Combination.
2. Select the menu command Load required samples.
