This soft key has the same function as in the Save Sequence screen

described above.

Saving a PAR File (System Parameters)

A number of parameters in the MPC3000 are not saved in SEQ,

ALL, SND, PGM, or APS files. These settings, called system pa-

rameters, are retained in a special memory that doesn’t lose its

contents when the power is turned off. These settings include:

• Names for all 64 MIDI channels

• Master tempo

• BPM/FPB select and frames per second select

• MIDI Input Filter settings

• Default settings for initializing sequences

. . .and many more (see the Appendix for a complete list).

These settings can be saved to disk in a file called a parameter file,

which has the file extension PAR. To save a parameter file, select 6

(System parameters) from the DISK key menu. The following

screen will appear:

======== Save System Parameters ========

File name:File_name Size: 2K

Disk:HARD DISK PART A Free: 793K

========================================

The fields and soft keys are:

• The File name field:

Enter the name for the file in this field. The name can be changed in

the same way as the Sequence Name field in the Play/Record screen.

The file’s extension will be PAR.

• The Disk, Size, and Free fields:

These fields have the same functions as in the Save Sequence screen

described above.

• The <Do it> soft key:

Press this key to save the file to disk.
