The user should refer to

Merging Midi Data

for which events will have been stripped from the merged midi

file.

If the user does not wish to include the merged midi file data, then the Utils | Clear Midi Song Data menu

item should be clicked prior to saving. This will erase any merged midi song data from the editor but will not

affect any extracted setup data.

Using Native Save Formats

15.6.1

Save Formats and Extensions

XGedit provides four native save formats as follows:

XGE Saves the entire contents of the editor

XGP Saves the parameters associated with the current edit part

XGD Saves the parameters associated with the current edit drum part

XGF Saves the parameters associated with the global effects unit

Versions of XGedit prior to V2.0 utilised the extensions .ALL, .PRT and .DRM. However, to avoid

confusion with files generated by Cubase, these file types have now been renamed to those

shown above: XGedit V2.0 is fully backward compatible with older file save formats and will load

files with the old extensions correctly

File saving is achieved using the File | Save Setup As.. menu item. This brings up a standard file select

dialog box where the user may enter the desired file name. It should be noted that the type of save

operation is determined from the user provided extension as defined above. (That is the user must ensure

that the filename provided has the correct extension for the desired save/load operation)

15.6.2

Useful Operations

Since so much of a voices character is governed by the global effect unit settings, there is little point in

constructing a library of individual part (.XGP) settings. Consequently, the user is encouraged to

always

use the global XGE format when saving the editor setup.

However there are circumstances where the alternative formats can prove useful.

Part Copy

The XGP format is useful if the users wishes to copy one parts setup to another. To do this the user selects

the desired source part (using the VoiceBox part buttons) and performs an XGP save. The user then

selects the desired destination part and performs an XGP load. Note that the XGP file contains the source

parts midi channel. Hence the user may wish to adjust the midi channel of the copied part after loading.

Drum Kits

Performing drum kit edits can be very time consuming hence it is always worth saving edited kits using the

.DRM format. Note that DRM saves also store the associated .PRT data and therefore may be used for

copying kits as described for parts above.
