Chapter 9: Saving and Loading From Disk

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 APS.

• The Disk field:

This field has the same function as in the Save Sequence screen

described above.

• The Size field:

This field shows the combined size of the APS file and all individual

sound files to be saved. (APS files require 48K.) Since sound files with

the same name as those already on disk won’t be saved, it is possible

that not as much free space will be needed as is indicated in this field.

• The Free field:

This shows the amount of free space on the selected disk.

COMMENT: The MPC60 will allow large APS files to be saved

onto multiple disks. If the total size of the APS file and its sound

files exceeds the free space on the inserted floppy disk, a

warning will appear on the screen, informing you how many

disks will be needed. The MPC60 will save the APS file and as

many sound files as will fit onto the first disk. Then, it will present

a screen asking you to insert another disk and will save as many

sound files as will fit onto that disk. This process will continue

until all files have been saved. To load this APS file later, simply

load the APS file from the first disk—it will load along with the

sound files from the first disk, then a screen will appear asking

you to insert the other disks, one by one, in order to load the

remaining sound files.

• The Save field:

Program files contain no sound data, so when saving a program the

sounds used by the program are normally also saved at the same time.

This choice field permits the option of saving the program file by itself

without the accompanying sound files. The two options are:

1. APS FILE + SOUNDS (NORMAL):

This is the normal setting, saving first the APS file then each

sound file currently in memory.

2. APS FILE ONLY (NO SOUNDS):

This option allows only the APS file to be saved without any

sounds.

• The Replace same sounds on disk field:

This field appears only if APS FILE + SOUNDS (NORMAL) is selected in

the field above. It has two options:

1. NO (FASTER):

When saving an APS file and sounds, if a sound file exists on

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