Important Note about Transferring Banks
When saving instruments that will be used as part of a Bank, it is imperative that only Primary
Instruments be saved to the SCSI Storage Device and not copies of those primary Instruments.
The following will help you determine which (INSTRUMENT=SEOUENCE TRACK) locations contain
primary Instruments. If a bank contains instrument copies, those copies will be the last group of
sounds to be loaded into memory. Therefore, while loading the Bank, write down the
(INSTRUMENT.SEQUENCE TRACK) location numbers as they are loaded. If a Song/Sequence file is
also used in this Bank, there will be a short pause while the sequencer is being loaded, followed
by the creation of any instrument copies. It is before this pause that all primary Instruments are
loaded. If no song is used by the Bank, the instrument copies will be created immediately
following the Primary Instruments.
If you follow these steps, you will successfully transfer your Banks from floppy to SCSI Storage
Device.
Moving Sounds Between Directories
To copy an Instrument File from one directory to another:
1. Load the file into one of the (INSTRUMENT~EOUENCE TRACK) locations and select it.
2
Change to the destination directory using the CHANGE STORAGE DEVICE command.
3. Use the SAVE INSTRUMENT command to save the instrument file to the new directory.
4 To be safe, you may want to load in the newly saved sound just to make sure that it was
saved correctly. You may then go back and delete the file from the or&id directory.
A few notes on moving files:
l A similar procedure can be used for all of the other types of files as well.
l Use caution when moving files that are used by a Bank. A bank remembers the ‘File Path’ to
get to a particular file, not the file itself. If you need to move a file used by a bank, first load
the Bank that uses the file. Then save the file to its new location, and resave the Bank. You
may then delete the old copy of the file.
