Chapter 9: Saving to and Loading from Disk

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

for all 24 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.

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 MPC3000 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 MPC3000 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 remain-

ing sound files.

• The <Do it> soft key:

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

file currently in memory.
