Section 7: Saving to l loading from Disk 169

1. Turn the DATA CONTROL one step to change the

alphabetic keys to their letter functions.

2. Type in the new 16 character name, followed by ENTER.

Once the new name has been entered, press <Rename it>. The file name

on the disk will be changed to the newly entered name. Once complete,

the previous screen is re-displayed.

NOTE: If you rename a "SEQ" file, then load it into one of the 99

sequences, the original sequence name (in the sequence name field) will

NOT have changed. Only the disk

file name is changed by the rename

process- the internal sequence name remains unchanged. The same rule

holds true for "SND" files- if you rename a "SND" file, then load it into

one of the 32 drums, the original sound name will NOT have changed. For

this reason, if you want to rename a sequence or sound file, it is better to

load the file into memory then change its name while in memory (using the

sequence name or sound name fields), then save the renamed sequence or

sound back to disk.

7.7.1 Files which automatically load on power-up

It is possible to create an "ALL" file or a ".SET" file (all sequences or all

sounds) which automatically loads into memory when the power is turned

on. For example, each of the four disks included with your MPC60

automatically load a set of sounds and a collection of demonstration

sequences if inserted into the disk drive before the power is turned on.

There are two types of files which can auto-load on power-up:

1. SET files:

To auto-load a SET file, just place the disk containing it into the disk

drive before turning the power on. The MPC60 will automatically load a

SET file on the currently inserted disk when the power is turned on.

Note: If more than one SET file exists on the currently inserted disk when

power is turned on, the MPC60 will load the first one it finds.

2. ALL files:

To auto-load a ALL file, you must change its name to "SYSTEM.ALL",

then insert the disk containing this file into the drive before turning the

power on. When power is applied, the MPC60 searches the inserted disk

for a file of this name and if it finds it, it loads only this SYSTEM.ALL

file.
