Seq. Mode

Post by ncpianodude »

Okay. So I have song files but I can't get them to load up when I boot - I want to add them to the Setlist mode and can't figure out how to do this. I've searched the manual, but I'm a little confused on this. Can someone shed some light on this subject? I've figured out how to load them but for some reason, I can't get them to load after a shut down and reboot. Thanks for any help that you can provide!

You can't autoload song files. However, if you load them after boot, the setlist should correctly find them then.

Not sure if this will help....but as a quick reply.

The edited set list needs to be saved prior to shutdown,or everything recently added will be lost.

So,if you can add them to a set list and they work....all you need do is to save that set list.

If this is not the problem you're having,please give further details.

Best Wishes.

When you assign a song to a set list slot, then the song is NOT copied, you just create a link to the song.

When you save a set list using page menu "Write Set List", then only the link to the song is saved, not the song itself. And this saving is into memory only, not onto disk.

When you switch off KRONOS and reboot it, then the set list is still in memory, but the song is not. You have to load the song manually from disk after reboot.

hope this helps

Well said both SanderXpander and Ksi....

I thought the problem was that ncpianodude had not been saving the set list itself rather than the song save and load part,which,as said, is what needs to be done regardless.

So I can't auto load my song files and they save with the auto load? Why do I have so many open slots? There is no way to keep all the song files that I use saved and it just recalls? Is there a reason that this doesn't save and load? If you use the sequencer for several different songs in a setlist, this can become a pain... Maybe I just need to understand Karma more and this would probably help me tremendously.

Hmmm

Not sure if I understand your concern here,but will write a few thoughts I have.

As I haven't used the sequencer much at all, I am guessing at what to do.

This is what I've found,so far.
There are 199 song locations available.
I believe I can load as many saved songs as I like from disk.(Can't prove that though,only got two of my own to play with...).

I can access them via the set list on the edit page and add them to their own slot,as desired.
Which means once the songs are loaded from disk,I can find them all via the set list for instant playing.....which can be very useful.

Learning Karma is a totally different thing....which is worthy of doing of course,but I don't think it'll help with song loading etc.

Hope this helps.

Yeah. I was saying instead of using sequencer mode. Thanks. One thought, those slots can't be set to auto load? If you have to load 30 songs every night, that seems a little inconvenient for the road musician right? So what everyone is saying there is no auto load that I can load them to the slot and store them to that slot...

The karma comment was more for instead of... Anyways. Any thoughts are appreciated and helpful.

Yes,I think it is matter of having to load songs as a separate task.......

Pleased that we could offer some help......perhaps more to come...??
There may be someone else here that can offer some tips with doing things for live working etc.

I did understand your meaning regarding the Karma..... :)
(Still worth doing though....that is if you can dig deep into its innards and learn the thing......I've set it aside for now).

Best Wishes.

One thing you might not be aware of. You can save large numbers of songs to ONE FILE! Then you can load your 30 songs in one step.

A .SNG file can contain many "songs". Many "songs" can be created in Sequencer Mode. You do not have to create a new .SNG file for every new "song". This concept takes a bit to get your head around. You need to read the sections of the manuals, not just skim them for answers. Going through the manuals and performing procedures step-by-step will help you get a handle on this. Bottom line- once you have created your "songs" and saved them as an .SNG file, you can load the .SNG file after boot up and access all of you "songs" from Sequencer Mode. A .SNG file is a collection of songs created in one instance of Sequencer Mode. And a .SNG file MUST be manually loaded.
