LOADING FROM FLOPPY DISK

The next key along, F5, gives you access to some basic disk functions for loading sounds

into the S3000XL. Pressing in the SELECT PROG mode gives you this screen:

Here, you have a choice of two options: loading a particular program and its associated

samples ( ) or loading the entire contents of the disk ( ).

If you have inserted a disk, pressing will bring up a list of all programs stored on

that disk. If you have inserted the wrong disk or wish to change it, insert a new disk and

press the key again. If you want to wipe out all programs and samples in memory

and load the contents of the disk, press . You will be asked if this is what you really

want to do. Make sure that you either do not want the programs and samples in memory,

or that they are saved to disk before you proceed. As the disk is loading, you will receive

this display

indicating the loading progress.

The other option, , allows you to load a program and all associated samples (free

memory permitting). To do this, highlight a program using the CURSOR keys, and press

. The program, and its associated samples, will be loaded into memory. If the

samples required by this program already exist in memory, they will be loaded anyway,

but they will overwrite the samples currently in memory. If there is not enough memory to

load a program and its samples, the message

will be displayed. In this case, you will have to delete some existing programs and/or

samples to free up some memory space.

LOADING FROM HARD DISK

If you have a hard disk of any description connected via SCSI for loading sounds, you will

receive the following display when F5 is pressed:

This is almost the same as for floppy except that you can see it tells you that it is a hard

disk. You may select from different volumes by moving the cursor to the field and

scrolling through the volumes on the disk. By moving the cursor to where it says ‘ ’ after

, you may select different partitions to choose other volumes. Loading is done in
