Data used by the KROSS
The KROSS accesses the following folders and files on the SD card.
1. DATA folder
This is the folder that the KROSS uses to save/load data. Use
the MEDIA> FILE page and UTIL page to work with these
files.
You cannot create folders below the DATA folder.
Folders created by a computer or other device will be
ignored.
2. .PCG files
These files contain KROSS programs, combinations, drum
kits, global settings, favorites data, and user arpeggio pattern
data.
3. .SNG files
These files contain song data for the Sequencer mode of the
KROSS.
4. .MID files
These files contain Sequencer mode songs that have been
saved as Standard MIDI Files (SMF). Existing SMF data can
also be loaded.
5. Export WAVE files
These files contain audio data that was recorded by the audio
recorder or sampled by the pad sampler, and has been
exported as WAVE files.
6. Import WAVE files
Existing WAVE files can be imported for use with the audio
recorder or pad sampler.
Files of the following format can be exported and imported.
Export
File format: WAVE file
File bit depth: 16-bit
Sampling frequency: 48 kHz
Number of characters in file name: The first eight characters
are shown (this can be renamed)
File name extension: .WAV
Import
File format: WAVE file
File bit depth: 16-bit
Sampling frequency: 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, stereo files
Number of characters in file name: The first eight characters
are shown
File name extension: .WAV
Note: Since 44.1 kHz WAVE files will be converted into
48 kHz as they are imported into the KROSS, a small
amount of time may be required.
7. .KSC files, .KMP files, .KSF files
.KSC files are Korg Script files or Korg Sample Collection
files; they manage Korg format PCM data. (Because of
differences in the specifications of supported models, the
name of these files may differ, but their basic functionality is
the same.)
In the same way, .KMP (Korg Multisample Parameter) files
support loading of multisamples, and .KSF (Korg Sample
Parameter) files support loading of drum samples.
Sample data created by sampling-capable models such as the
KRONOS, OASYS, M3, and TRITON can be loaded subject
to the amount of available memory, and played. Data that
was sampled by the pad sampler function can also be
exported and loaded into a different sampling-capable
model, and played.
