SD card
You can use an SD card to save or load data
to and from the KP3’s internal memory.
You can also load samples (WAV files or
AIFF files) created on a computer into the
KP3 by using a card.
NOTE Before you can use the SD card, you must
format it on the KP3. Don’t use your computer or
digital camera to format (initialize) a card you plan
to use with the KP3. If the card was formatted on a
different device, it may not work correctly with the
KP3.
NOTE The KP3 must be turned off before you in-
sert or remove the card.
NOTE The SD card is not included. It must be
purchased separately.
NOTE The KP3 supports SD cards with a power
supply voltage of 2.7–3.6V and capacities of 16
MB–2 GB, and SD card with ID.
SD card handling
• The SD card may be hot immediately following
use. Power-off the KP3 and wait for the card to cool
before removing it.
• SD cards are precision parts. Do not bend them,
drop them, or subject them to physical shock.
• Avoid using or storing SD cards in locations of
extremely high or low temperature such as in direct
sunlight, a closed automobile, or near a heater, or in
locations of high humidity or excessive dust.
• Avoid using or storing SD cards in locations
where they may be subject to strong static electricity
or electrical noise.
• Do not allow dirt or foreign matter to adhere to the
contacts of an SD card. If the contacts should be-
come soiled, gently wipe them off using a dry cloth.
• When you are not using an SD card, keep it in the
protective case that was included with the card to
prevent it from being damaged by static electricity.
• Do not leave an SD card where it is accessible by
infants or children who might place it in their
mouth and swallow it.
• Carefully read and observe the owner’s manual
included with your SD card.
About the write protect setting of an SD
card
SD cards have a write protect switch that
prevents the data from being overwritten
accidentally and lost. If you set the card’s
switch to the protected setting, it will be
impossible to write or erase data on the
card, or to format it. If you need to save
edited data on the card, move the switch
back to its original unprotected setting.
