file is not

overwritten by the sound in memory. If when doing an

APS save you know that the sounds have not

changed, this

option will permit a faster save.

2. YES:

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

file is

overwritten by the sound in memory. If when doing an APS

save 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 APS file and each individual sound file

currently in memory.

• 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 a PAR File (System Parameters)

A number of parameters in the MPC60 are not saved in SEQ, ALL, SND,

PGM, or APS files. These settings, called system parameters, 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 Parameters ===========A

Disk:SCSI DISK PART A Free: 793K
