Where is Everything Stored?
l Audio Track recording data can only be saved using Command/Seq*Song, SAVE SONG +
ALL SEQS. The SAVE SONG
+
ALL SEQS (also known as the Project) file stores all of the
information about what AudioSamples are triggered by each Audio Track.
l Audio Track recording data cannot be saved with Command/Seq*Song, SAVE CURRENT
SEQUENCE.
l RAMTrack AudioSamples are stored in the ASR-10 internal RAM Memory.
l RAMTrack AudioSamples can only be saved using Command/Seq*Song, SAVE SONG +
ALL SEQS.
l DiskTrack AudioSamples are saved to the connected SCSI storage device as you record
Audio Tracks.
l The Audio Trigger events that play the DiskTrack AudioSamples are saved using
Command/Seq*Song, SAVE SONG + ALL SEQS.
l Temporary Record files are the area on the selected REC SCSI DRIVE that SCSI
AudioSamples will be recorded into. They are stored in file 38, a directory called AUDIO
TRACKS, on the selected REC SCSI DRIVE. This directory is created when you configure
Audio Tracks for ATRK PLAY/REC=SCSI. The two Temporary Record Files are named
TEMPORARYOOO
and
TEMl’ORARYOOl,
for Audio Tracks A and B respectively, and appear
as Instrument files under Load/Instrument when you are in the AUDIO TRACKS directory.
REC FILE=CURRENT BLKS uses any available space within the current Temporary Record
File on the selected SCSI REC DRIVE. If the Temporary file has a size of 0 Blocks or does not
exist, you will get a NOT ENOUGH DISK SPACE error message (i.e., there’s not enough disk
space in the Temporary Record File). The ASR-10 will be reconfigured for REC SCSI
DRIVE=NONE.
Using the SAVE SONG + ALL SEQS Command
Once you have created a song or made changes to an existing one, you can save the song to a
formatted ASR-10 disk. In addition to saving the song itself, the SAVE SONG + ALL SEQS
command saves all the individual sequences currently in memory (whether they are part of the
song or not). Audio Track recording data is also stored with the SONG + ALL SEQS file type.
Because the SONG + ALL SEQS file saves your Audio Track recording data, it is sometimes
referred to as the projectfile. Note that a SONG + ALL SEQS file that is saved after a large amount
of RAMTrack data has been recorded will increase in size significantly, and may need to be saved
across multiple disks. Be prepared with a few extra floppy disks for this task.
