cate "End."
Press the SHIFT button to return to normal
operation.
NOTE You won't be able to save if the SD card is
protected.
Never turn off the power or remove the SD card
while saving or formatting. Doing so may render
the SD card unusable.
Loading from card
Here's how to load previously-saved data
from the card.
1. Hold down the SHIFT button and press
the PROGRAM MEMORY 2 (LOAD) but-
ton.
2. Use the PROGRAM/BPM knob to select
the type of data that you want to load.
"SMP.A"–"SMP.D": Sample data
"Snd.A"–"Snd.D": WAVE, AIFF
"ProG": Contents of program memory
"ALL": All files
"GLOb": Global setting file
3. Turn the PROGRAM/BPM knob to see
the file numbers that are available for load-
ing; 00–99 for each of the sample bank but-
tons, 00–09 for all other data types.
Use the PROGRAM/BPM knob to select
the file number you want to load.
If you're loading a WAVE file or AIFF file,
select the desired file.
NOTE In the case of WAVE files or AIFF files, the
KP3 will recognize only file names consisting of a
two-digit number plus filename extension, such as
"00.wav" or "99.aif". If both .wav and .aiff files
with the same two-digit number exist, the WAVE
file will take priority.
NOTE WAVE files and AIFF files will be loaded as
loop samples. You can resample a loop sample and
capture it as a one-shot sample by stopping the re-
cording before it stops automatically. Then you can
save the one-shot loop as a KP3 sample and always
use it as a one-shot.
4. Use the PROGRAM/BPM knob to select
"yes." Press the PROGRAM/BPM knob to
load the data. When loading is completed,
the display will indicate "End."
Press the SHIFT button to return to normal
operation.
MIDI functions
What is MIDI?
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digi-
tal Interface, and is a world-wide standard
for exchanging a variety of performance-
related information between electronic
musical instruments and computers.
About the MIDI implementation chart
The owner's manual of each MIDI device
includes a "MIDI implementation chart."
This chart lets you check the types of MIDI
message that can be transmitted or re-
ceived. When you use two (or more) MIDI
devices together, compare their MIDI
implementation charts to see which types
of MIDI message they are able to transmit
and receive between themselves.
* Details on the MIDI functionality are provided in
the separate MIDI implementation. To obtain the
MIDI implementation, please contact Korg dis-
tributor.
MIDI connections
Commercially available MIDI cables are
used to transmit and receive MIDI mes-
sages. Connect these cables between the
MIDI connectors of the KP3 and the MIDI
connectors of the external MIDI device
with which you want to transfer data.
MIDI IN connector: This connector re-
ceives MIDI messages from another MIDI
device. Connect it to the MIDI OUT con-
nector of the external device.
MIDI OUT connector: This connector
transmits messages from the KP3. Connect
it to the MIDI IN connector of the external
device.
NOTE If you connect the USB connector to your
computer and install the USB MIDI driver, the
USB connection will transmit and receive the same
MIDI messages as the MIDI connectors.
