PC3K .P3K
PC3 .PC3
PC3LE .PLE
SP4 .SPX
K2600 .K26
K2500 .K25
K2000 .KRZ

 

Loading Compatible Object File Types

Aside from loading objects from its own .SP6 files, the SP6 can load sounds and objects from other instruments.

In some cases object parameters may need to be edited by the user after loading. See each object file section below for details when loading file types other than .SP6.

Objects from most of the recent Kurzweil models should sound and function exactly the same as on the original instruments (except in cases where unavailable physical controllers change the sound or function). Objects from older legacy Kurzweil instruments can often sound and function very closely or exactly the same as on the original instruments.

Loading K2700 (.K27), Forte (.FOR) and PC4 (.PC4) Object Files

When loading K2700/Forte/PC4 objects, some Programs and Keymaps may not be compatible if they use user samples, or if they use factory samples that are not available on the SP6.

Loading Legacy Program/Keymap/Sample Object Files

When loading objects from .P3K, .K26, .K25, or .KRZ files, some objects may not be compatible if they use user samples.

Loading Legacy K2 Series Object Files (K26, .K25, .KRZ)

When loading objects from K26, .K25, or .KRZ files, objects are converted to SP6 object types. Some object parameters cannot be converted, and some objects may not be compatible if they use user samples.

All K2 series Keymap objects can be loaded, some parameters will be converted to SP6 specific parameters.

Most K2 series Program objects can be loaded. FX cannot be converted.

The K2 Program Editor Keymap page sample skipping parameter (SmpSkp) cannot be loaded, so ROM samples can only be transposed upward by one octave.

A small number of DSP algorithms and functions (some filters, oscillators, etc.) cannot be loaded.

KB3 programs created with a K2500 or K2600 cannot be loaded, however the SP6 contains a variety of KB3 programs which can easily be modified and edited.

Triple Mode programs created with the K2600 cannot be loaded.

All K series Setup objects can be loaded and converted to Multis. FX cannot be converted and must be edited after loading.

]]> Question:
How can I save (backup) all of my SP6 user data to USB thumb/flash drive?

Answer:
The SP6 can save all data from both User Banks (Program and Multi) into one file with an “.SP6” extension.

Backup Procedure:

  1. With the power on, insert a USB flash/thumb drive into the SP6 back-panel USB “STORAGE” port:

  2. On the SP6, press the GLOBAL mode button, you will see:

  3. Press the CHANNEL / PAGE UP (∧) button twice (2x), to the left of the display. You will see:

  4. Press ENTER. You will see:

  5. Press the NEXT / + button (as needed) to select the “Store” option. You will see:

  6. Press ENTER to access the Store menu. You will see that “ALL” is chosen by default (as in ‘save everything’ in user memory):

  7. Press ENTER again to select “All”. You will see:

  8. Press the NEXT / + button (as needed) to select “USB Device” as your storage medium:

  9. Press ENTER. You will next see the file naming prompt:

    The default file name is “FILENAME”. You can use this as-is or (optional) rename your file. Using the Category/alphanumeric keypad and/or large data entry wheel, enter the desired characters. Use the Previous/- and Next/+ buttons to advance the cursor.

  10. Once you have the desired file name entered, press ENTER again.

    Your file will be saved to the USB thumb/flash drive. A brief “Storing…” message will be displayed while the file is saved. Once completed you will see “Objects Saved” displayed. Following, you will return to the Storage mode screen. Press EXIT twice to return to Program mode.

For additional details on SP6 file management be sure to check out Chpt. 6 in the SP6 Musician’s Guide.

Notes:

  • Filenames must be 8 characters.
  • To insert a space before the selected character, press and hold the NEXT button. The selected character and all characters to the right will move one space to the right.
  • To delete the selected character, press and hold the PREVIOUS button. All the characters to the right of the selected character will move one space to the left.
  • If no flash/thumb drive or USB cable is inserted when pressing “ENTER” (step 9), the display will show the message “USB Device Not Connected.”.
  • If a file already exists on your drive of the same name you are now saving you will be alerted and prompted to either rename the save in progress or replace the file on disk.

]]> Question:
How can I load a previously saved backup of all of my SP6 user data from a USB thumb/flash drive?

Answer:
Native SP6 files have an “.SP6” extension.

Load Procedure:

  1. With the power on, insert a USB flash/thumb drive into the SP6 back-panel USB “STORAGE” port:

  2. On the SP6, press the GLOBAL mode button, you will see:

  3. Press the CHANNEL / PAGE UP (∧) button twice (2x), to the left of the display. You will see:

  4. Press ENTER. You will see:(If not already highlighted, press the PREVIOUS / – button to select the “Load” option.)

  5. Press ENTER to enter the Load menu. You will see:

  6. Press the NEXT / + button to select the “USB Device” option (aka USB thumb/flash drive). You will see::

  7. Press ENTER to access the inserted “USB Device”. You will see the file list on that drive in the SP6 display:

  8. Press the PREVIOUS / – or NEXT / + buttons (as needed) to navigate the list and highlight the intended file to load:Ex: Here we are selecting “MY_FILE3.SP6”

  9. Press ENTER. You will next see the load method menu.”All” = the entire file will be loaded, adding to whatever already resides in user memory.”Some” = allows you to load individual objects from within the file.”All-Ovwrte” = the entire file will be loaded, REPLACING whatever USER Multis/Programs already resides in user memory. This does not erase factory objects.(For full details on the various load methods, please see Chpt. 6 in the SP6 Musician’s Guide)

  10. For our example here, we are restoring a backup file, as such we want to REPLACE the SP6’s current user memory with that stored in the selected file. So we will use the NEXT / + button (press 2x) to select “All-Ovwrte”:

  11. Press ENTER to invoke the Overwrite option. You will see the following warning prompt:

  12. Press ENTER one final time to begin loading the backup file (or EXIT if you changed your mind). You will see a “Loading…” message briefly displayed followed by “Objects loaded OK” when done.Following, you will return to the Storage mode screen. Press EXIT twice to return to Program mode.

For additional details on SP6 file management be sure to check out Chpt. 6 in the SP6 Musician’s Guide.

Notes:

  • Files must reside in the root directory of the thumb drive to be accessible to the SP6.
  • If no flash/thumb drive or USB cable is inserted when pressing “ENTER” (step 7), the display will show the message “USB Device Not Connected”.
