File details
The structure of the D888’s hard
drive
When the D888 is connected in USB mode, your computer
will recognize its hard drive as a drive named Local Disk (or
Unnamed).
From your computer, you can copy, move, delete, or rename
the folders and files on the D888’s hard drive.
KORG
D888
has the following structure.
D888SONG folder
This folder contains the song data. You can create song
folders within this folder as long as the remaining capac-
ity of the hard drive will allow.
The
D888
can only recognize data that is in this folder.
D888PM.SYS
This file contains settings used by the system. There
must always be one and only one of this file. Do not
move or delete it.
SONG0001 folder (song folders)
There will be one of these folders for each song you cre-
ate. When you create a new song, a folder will be created
sequentially, starting with SONG0001.
When you rename a song on the D888, the name of the
song setting file in the folder will also change automati-
cally.
If you use a computer connected in USB mode to rename a song
folder, you don’t necessarily have to rename the song setting file
(***.SNG) located inside that folder to a matching name
.
Files inside a song folder
SONG0001.SNG (song setting file)
This file is specific to the D888, and contains settings for
each individual song (mixer, effect, and recording set-
tings, etc.). Only one file with a .SNG extension may exist
in a song folder. You are free to rename the song settings
file, but you should avoid doing so, since malfunctions
may occur if two or more such files exist.
TRK01VT1.WAV (track WAV files)
These are audio files for each track. The portion of the
name preceding the filename extension (.WAV) is auto-
matically created at the time of recording according to
the following conventions.
If you want to assign mono WAV files that were not created
on the D888 to individual tracks and /or virtual tracks, they
must also be named using the naming conventions
(TRK01VT1.WAV) explained above.
If you use a computer (connected in USB mode) to rename
these files, the
D888
will no longer recognize them as track
files, and the tracks to which those files had been assigned
will be empty.
Stereo WAV files can be named freely, and can be assigned
to adjacent pairs of tracks.
By renaming the files in accordance with the automatically-as-
signed track file naming conventions described above, you can
change the track or virtual track of the data.
MST00001.WAV (master track WAV file)
This is a stereo WAV file created each time you record the
master track. The file name consists of the MST + number
(the number of the recording).
You can create as many WAV files as the free space on the hard
drive will allow, but the
D888
will recognize only one hundred of
them.
.WAV (WAV files)
These are 16-bit 44.1 kHz audio files. You can use them as
playback data for the tracks as described in “Selecting WAV
files”.
WAV files that can be used on the
D888
The D888 allows you to select stereo WAV files for use.
It can recognize a mono WAV file, but an error message will
appear if you select it. In order to use a mono wave file, it
must be named using the automatic naming conventions of
the D888 (TRK01VT1.WAV, TRK01VT2.WAV, ...
TRK08VT8.WAV).
You’ll be able to use a monaural WAV file if you use your compu-
ter to change the file name to the track WAV file name automati-
cally assigned by the D888.
The
D888
can display a WAV file name up to sixteen charac-
ters long, but depending on the screen this may be only eight
characters. WAV files with names of seventeen characters or
longer can also be recognized, but we recommend that you
use short file names so that it will be easy to distinguish them
on the
D888
’s screen.
