SAVE SINGLE
The Save Single command offers the following
possibilities:
Save Single Block
Saves the entire contents of RAM to disk or Hard
disk in a single step. Block data contains: a Setup
file, Sounds, Performances, ROM Style Perform-
ances, User Styles (and relative Performances)
and Songs (and relative Performances), all
housed in their respective Groups.
Note: If you assign a new block the name
"AUTOLOAD", you can load the Block into RAM
automatically on a future occasion by turning the
instrument on with the floppy disk inserted in the
drive. Naturally, only one Block with the name
"AUTOLOAD" can exist in a disk.
Save Single Setup
Saves a Setup file to a Block on floppy disk or
Hard Disk. The Setup corresponds to the con-
figuration of the instrument's global parameters
(Edit General status) that determine how the
machine operates, regardless of the contents of
RAM. Saving a Setup file to a Block overwrites
the existing Setup file without affecting other data.
Only one Setup file can be saved in each Block.
You can create different Setup files for particular
occasions. For example, one for home sessions,
one for live shows, one for piano-bar work, etc.
Save Single Song
Saves Songs to disk one at a time. If you have
already loaded some MIDI Files to RAM, use this
procedure to convert the files to SK760/880 for-
mat songs.
Hint: A Block can hold up to 16 Songs divided
into two virtual groups. If no empty locations are
shown, it means that the block is fully occupied. In
this case, either overwrite an existing Song that
you don't mind losing, or close the Block with
ESCAPE, then select an empty location and press
ENTER to create a new Block.
Save Single Performance
Saves a single user-programmed Performance
(RealTime) to any of the 64 locations of the Per-
formance Groups (1-8) on disk or Hard disk. The
incoming Performances overwrite those present
on the storage device.
Save Single User Style
Saves a single User Style and associated User
Style Performances to any location in the USER
Style Groups (1-4) present on disk or Hard disk.
Save Single Style Performance
Saves a single bank of up to 8 user-programmed
Style Performances. These Performances can-
not be loaded to locations other than the original
source Style Performance bank. For example,
the Style Performances of Style 59 (U.S.Trad)
cannot be saved to any other location of the ROM
Styles.
If you attempt to save to a destination other than
the correct one, a user message will inform you
of your error with the following message:
Press ESCAPE to close the user message and
try again, this time selecting the correct destina-
tion.
Single MIDI File
Saves a SK760/880 Song to disk (MS-Dos for-
mat) as a MIDI File in order to exchange the song
with other instruments or computers. SK760/880
saves Songs as SMF1 or SMF0 format MIDI files.
Set the "SMF Save Format" parameter in the
«General Set» function of «Edit MIDI».
If you want to save GM compatible MIDI files, set
the "General MIDI" parameter to ON in the «Gen-
eral set» function of «Edit MIDI».
