This development system serves two main functions: 
 

Compiler 

– 

to created a DAT file from user’s sound files 

Writer 

– 

to program the DAT file into the voice chip 

 
The 

Compiler

 is used to combine the edited sound files into the chip to form the desired 

Voice Group and to define the playback functions of each Voice Group by selecting 
different Options and Trigger Modes of each individual Voice Group. 
 
The 

Writer 

is used to program the voice data into the voice chips that resulted from the 

Compiler Function. The Writer must be connected to the PC to use the program. 

System Requirement 

This program only works with Windows XP and a computer with USB connector. 

Installation 

Installing the USB driver 

If this is the first using this program, after connecting the USB cable to the computer, you 
will be asked to install the USB driver. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the 
USB driver. 
 

Installing the Software 

Create a new folder on your computer. Copy the K20W_Vxxx_yyyymmddtttt.ZIP to the 
folder, 

where “xxx” represents the version number and “yyyymmddttt” represents the date 

and time of the software. Unzip the file into the folder.
