Chapter 9: Saving and Loading From Disk

Page 161

1. NO (FASTER):

When saving a program (and its sounds), if a sound file exists on

disk with the same name as one of the sounds to be saved, the

file is not

overwritten by the sound in memory. If when saving a

program you know that the sounds have not

changed, this option

will permit a faster save.

2. YES:

When saving a program (and its sounds), if a sound file exists on

disk with the same name as one of the sounds to be saved, the

disk file is

overwritten by the sound in memory. If when saving a

program you know that the sounds have

changed, you should

select this option.

• The <Do it> soft key:

Press this key to save to disk the program file and each individual sound

file used in the program.

• The <Select disk> soft key:

This soft key only appears if your MPC60 contains a Marion Systems

MPC-SCSI interface and a hard disk is connected to its SCSI port. It has

the same function as in the Save Sequence screen described above.

Saving an APS File (All Programs and Sounds)

To save all programs and all sounds in memory, select 5 (All programs)

from the DISK key menu. The following screen will appear:

========== Save All Programs ==========

File name:File_name Size: 0K

Disk:SCSI DISK PART A Free:30793K

Save:APS FILE + SOUNDS (NORMAL)

Replace same sounds on disk:NO (FASTER)

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

Two steps occur automatically when <Do it> is pressed:

1. The All Programs and Sounds file (APS), which contains the data for

all eight programs and the names of all sounds in memory (but not

the sound data itself), is saved.

2. Each sound in memory (even sounds not currently assigned to a

program) is individually saved as a sound file. If a sound file on the

disk has the same name as the sound being saved, the new sound

won’t be saved.
