Sound Library CD-ROM

Tips for selecting a file:
The File Directory window is useful for navigating through the folder hierarchy and
selecting files. To open the File Directory window, press the WINDOW button in the
Folder parameter or File parameter.
The file directories (tree) are displayed graphically.
Files are managed hierarchically by the file system, and organized in the tree structure
via folders. This system is similar to that often used by common computer operating sys-
tems.
In the File Directory window, the left column corresponds to the Folder parameter, and
the right column corresponds to the File parameter. The folder selected in the Folder
parameter includes the (xxx) icon. In this window, you can also use the Left and Right
CURSOR buttons to move transversely through the hierarchy. For example, if you select
a folder in the right column (File parameter) and press the Right CURSOR button, the
folder you just selected in the File parameter now appears in the left column (Folder
parameter), and in the right column, you can select a file from the selected folder.
When you close the window by pressing "CLOSE," the folder selected in the left column
appears in the Folder parameter, and the file selected in the right column appears in the
File parameter.
To load the selected file, press "LOAD."
You can search for files by using the Find File window, which you can access by pressing
"FIND." Here you can enter a few characters of a file name, and specify the type of file
that you're trying to find in the File Type parameter. Press "DO IT" to execute searches.
Found files appear in the Found Files window. Use the JOG wheel to select a file, then
press "LOAD" to load the file.
Sound Library CD-ROM
To load sounds from the included CD-ROM, you will need to connect a CD-ROM drive.
Some Programs and Multis on the CD-ROM may require more memory than the standard
memory size (16 MB). You will need to expand the memory to load such files. Consult
your local dealer or Akai Professional M.I. Service Department regarding the compatible
CD-ROM drives and memory expansion.
