Disk operations

3) Disk volumes have a limit to the number of files which may be stored on them (samples,

programs, drum settings, etc). It is unlikely that you. will exceed this limit (64 files), but it is

possible (for instance, a Latin percussion setup may use many samples, and have many

different multi-timbral programs associated with it). Be aware of this limit when creating

complex setups.

When you first press SAVE, all programs, samples and drum settings in memory are displayed

on screen, together with the amount of space in blocks that they will take up on disk. Select

the option to save:

ENTIRE VOLUME, ALL PROGS+SAMPLES, ALL PROGRAMS ONLY,

ALL SAMPLES, CURSOR PROG+SAMPS, CURSOR

ITEM ONLY, or OPERATING SYSTEM in

the same way as for loading.

If you choose one of the

"CURSOR" items, move the cursor to the sample or program in

memory that you want to save. Saving

"CURSOR PROG+SAMPS" will automatically save

any samples associated with the highlighted program. If the samples already exist on disk

with the same name, they will be overwritten. Be careful if you are using samples which have

been slightly modified between programs; give them different names to avoid overwriting

what may represent hours of work.

If you want to check the files already on disk, you can press LOAD to view files on disk and

then return to

SAVE.

When you have made your selection press WIPE or GO to save your work. WIPE will erase all

data already on the disk, and save the selected file(s), and

GO will simply save the files in

addition to any already on disk. If you are saving to diskette, and there are more files to be

saved than will fit on a single diskette, you will be prompted to insert a new diskette.

Saving to hard disk follows the same procedure as saving to diskette. Note that if the hard

disk is divided into partitions, you can load data from one partition, select another partition on

the SAVE page, and save it into the newly-selected partition. It is not possible to transfer data

directly between partitions - it must be done through memory, saving to diskette, or DAT

backup (with the digital interface).

REN

In this page, you can rename individual files on disk, or rename a volume on disk (a diskette

can contain only one volume, but a hard disk can contain many volumes). If you have a hard

disk fitted or attached, select the partition, and the volume to be renamed, or the volume

containing the file(s) to be renamed, otherwise, insert a diskette which contains data to be

renamed. Press the

NAME button to enter a new name.
