button on the Toolbar is selected, the following dialog will appear allowing a file
to be selected.
Only PCG files are currently supported for loading.
kronos.factory checks to ensure that the selected file is a valid Kronos format file, and an error dialog will appear if the file is not valid.
If the file you are trying to open is an OASYS PCG file, then the following error dialog will be shown, as OASYS files are currently not supported (their file structure is different again). If there is sufficient demand, I may support the import of OASYS files in later releases. In the meantime, you can load them in your Kronos and save them out as Kronos PCG files.
If a file selected for opening is already open, kronos.factory will ask if you want to replace the file that is in memory.
No other PCG files (i.e. for other synth types) are supported.
kronos.factory will also try and load a corresponding Sample (KSC) file if one is present in the same directory as the file you are loading.
Currently KGE and KSC data cannot be edited. This will be supported in a future release. Song files may also be supported in a future release.
The loading of Samples can be controlled by the setting of the Sample Load Options drop down in the Misc Preferences tab in the Preferences Dialog.
If this option is set to Confirm, then the following dialog is displayed:
If the Sample Load Options setting is set to Yes, then the samples are automatically loaded, and if the Sample Load Options is set to No, then the samples are not loaded.
kronos.factory will also try and load the corresponding KARMA Generated Effect (KGE) file if one is present in the same directory as the file you are loading.
Currently KGE and KSC data cannot be edited. This will be supported in a future release. Song files may also be supported in a future release.
The loading of KGE files can be controlled by the setting of the KARMA Load Options drop down in the Misc Preferences tab in the Preferences Dialog.
If this option is set to Confirm, then the following dialog is displayed:
If the KARMA Load Options setting is set to Yes, then the KGE file is automatically loaded, and if the KARMA Load Options is set to No, then the KGE file is not loaded.
