If this is not installed, you can use only one of these titles at a time. The 256 Mbytes* of preset multisamples and drum samples of the original Z1 have also been updated. such as different types of vibrato, and different attacks which are suitable for staccato playing. EX-USB-PCM03: Stereo Grand Piano EX-USB-PCM03: Stereo Grand Piano is a sound library created using a single-point stereo recording of a topclass full concert grand piano. [. . . ] The Z1 XPANDED's display will show a red progress bar while the system data is being loaded. When the system data has finished loading, a blue progress bar will be shown while the KEP file is auto-loaded. During this process, the title of the KEP file that is loading will be shown at the bottom of the display. Note: Never disconnect the USB device containing the KEP file while the data is being loaded. Note: Once the Auto Load has finished, there is no need for the USB device to be connected unless you will need to load other data. 9 Listening to the demo songs of PCM expansion option The Z1 XPANDED contains demo songs that use programs from the newly added PCM expansion options. EX-USB-PCM03 EX-USB-PCM01, 02 S000, S001, S002 S008. . . S015 These demo songs will not play correctly unless the multisamples of the corresponding PCM expansion options are loaded. You must load the multisamples before playing the demo songs. Quick start 1. Load the multisamples as described on page 7 "Loading PCM expansion option multisamples" and page 8 "Removing (unloading) PCM expansion option multisamples. " 2. As described in the "Z1 Operation Guide" section "Listening to the demo songs" (OG page 5), load the demo songs in Global mode. Select a song that uses the multisamples of the PCM expansion option in Sequencer mode. These songs have EX1, EX2, EX1&2, or EX3 at the end of their name. Refer to page 11 "Additional sequencer functions" in this guide. 12 Expansions to KARMA function KARMA 2. 2 KARMA 2. 2 is a major new release, including support for User GEs, new control over Scene change and Module quantization, the ability to switch KARMA GEs seamlessly while KARMA is operating, and other improvements. For more information, see "7-1-8: Trigger" on page 89 of the Parameter Guide, and "7-2-2: Perf Real-Time Parameters" on page 92 of the Parameter Guide. User GEs and GE Creation/Editing The Z1 XPANDED now supports User GEs, with 8 banks of 128 User GEs each (for a total of 1024). You can also save and load . KGE files, which contain KARMA GEs and Template Data. GEs may be created, edited, and uploaded to the Z1 XPANDED using the optional KARMA Z1 Software (PC/Mac), available separately from Karma-Lab (www. karma-lab. com). Quantized/Delayed Scene Changes Scene changes may now be quantized to various metric divisions, from a 16th-note triplet up to 4 bars. The larger values ensure perfect timing for Scene changes at measure boundaries, and allow you to select Scenes well in advance. This makes it easier to time Scene changes during live performance, and also means that you can be playing with both hands when the change actually occurs. In Combi and Sequencer modes, this quantization also applies independently to all five layers (Master and Modules A through D). The new Scene Status display shows any pending Scene changes (those that have been selected, but which have not yet completed). For more information, see "Quantize Window" on page 168 of the Parameter Guide, and "7-1-7: Scene Matrix" on page 167 of the Parameter Guide. Adjustable Quantize Window per Module Previously, all Modules that had the Quantize Trigger setting turned On would be quantized to the nearest 16th note. While this allowed intricate DJ-style performances, it could also make it difficult to trigger Modules in perfect time during normal performance, especially at faster tempos. Now, you can select a Quantize Window independently for each Module-for example, use a 1/4-note or 8th-note value for less chance of a timing error, or a 16th-note when fancier retriggering effects are desired.
