Chapter 9: Saving and Loading From Disk

Page 170

To load a single sequence, enter the sequence number from the ALL file

that you want to load in the Load seq field, and the destination sequence

number in memory in the Into seq field, then press <Do it>.

If the file is an MPC60 version 1 or 2 ALL file

If the ALL file is a MPC60 version 1 or 2 file, additional screens are

presented, just as when an MPC60 version 1 or 2 SEQ file is loaded.

(See the section above entitled, “Loading an MPC60 Version 1 or 2 SEQ

file.”) The only difference is that in this case, each sequence within the

ALL file will be converted using the pad-to-note conversion table.

Loading a SND File (Single Sound)

If a SND file is selected and <Load it> is pressed, the sound loads

immediately. No other screens are presented. To assign the newly

loaded sound to be played from a pad, you must press SOUNDS, then 1

(“Assign sounds, Select Program”).

COMMENT: The maximum sound size that will fit on one floppy

disk is 13.1 seconds mono or 6.5 seconds stereo. If a larger

sound file is saved to a floppy, the MPC60 will automatically

save it as two “split” sound files, each of which fits on a single

disk. The first part has “{1}” added to the end of the sound name

and has a file size of 773K. The second part has “{2}” added to

the end of the sound name and contains the remaining portion of

the sound. If you attempt to load one of these “part 1” files, the

MPC60 will prompt you afterwards to insert the disk containing

the associated part 2 file. The part 2 file cannot be loaded by

itself.

Loading a PGM File (Single Program and Sounds)

A program file (FILENAME.PGM) contains all information about the

program except the actual sound data used in the program. When

loading a program file, each sound file used by the program is loaded at

the same time. If a PGM file is selected for load, the following screen

appears:

1 2 ... 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 ... 240 241
