Applications and Troubleshooting
Transferring Files from a Floppy Disk to a SCSI Storage Device
1.
To load a sound from floppy disk, you must use the CHANGE STORAGE DEVICE command
to select the floppy drive, or use Macro 1 from
the
default Macro File.
2 Load the instrument file from the floppy disk into one of the eight
(~NSTRUMENT=SEOUENCE
TRACKS).
3.
Now, use the CHANGE STORAGE DEVICE command or a Macro to change to a directory on
the SCSI Storage Device. Make sure that you have entered the directory.
4.
Before you save the file to the SCSI Storage Device, you must make sure that you are in the
proper directory. For example, move down into SOUNDS, then down into FACTORY SNDS.
Or you can use default Macro 2 to automatically take you to the FACTORY SNDS directory.
Press (ENTER-YES) to enter this directory. You may want to define a macro that takes you
directly into the directory you have selected for instrument files on your SCSI Storage Device
instead of using the default macro. This is probably the best approach.
5.
To save this file, press
(m),
then press (INSTRUMENT) and scroll to the SAVE
INSTRUMENT command.
Tip:
To get to this command, press
(m)
then double-click on the
(INSTRUMENT) button.
Repeat this procedure for each sound you wish to transfer. You may want to load and save a
few instruments at one time for convenience. After you move your sounds over to the SCSI
Storage Device, try loading one. Notice that the files load almost instantaneously from the
SCSI Storage Device. Once you get the hang of moving around in directories, you can decide
for yourself how you want
to
organize your directories.
Transferring Banks from a Floppy Disk to a SCSI Storage Device
1.
Load the Bank (including Song, if applicable) from the floppy disk.
2 Use the CHANGE STORAGE DEVICE command to select the appropriate SCSI Storage
Device.

5.

6.

(ENTER-YES].
7.

(ENTER-YES) twice.
