Additional functions

This section explains the various options found
in the main Disk pages and in the File Selector,
some of which are permanent, others specific to
a particular command or disk page.
NEW FL. DISK (F5)
Updates the current directory after changing a
disk inserted in the drive, allowing the instrument
to recognize the disk change.
Pressing the F5 Soft button opens the following
dialog window:
You can also see the new directory by closing
the «Edit Disk» environment with ESCAPE then
re-entering «Edit Disk».
FREE MEMORY (F6)
This option displays the amount of memory re-
maining in the floppy disk, Hard disk, System-
RAM, volatile Sample-RAM and in the Backed
Sample-RAM.
SAMPLE-RAM... (F8)
This option is active only if the instrument has
been installed with one or both optional Sample
RAM kits.
The Sample-RAM option, which appears in all
the main Disk pages except Utility, selects the
type of Sample-RAM required to access.
Select the type of Sample-RAM with the cursor
buttons and press ENTER to confirm.
Once a RAM -Sound is loaded into memory, a
'flag' is applied to it to indicate which Sample-
RAM contains the sound's associated sample.
When you save the RAM
retained in the disk. When you load the Sounds
again with the Load All Sound or Load Single
Block operations, the RAM
rected to the Sample-RAM indicated by the 'flag'.
Note - The samples saved in a Block with
successive Save Single Sound operations may be
too large to reside in the Backed S-RAM. In this
case, the instrument attempts to load all the
samples into the Volatile S-RAM. If in this case
also the samples are too large for the available
memory, the loading operation will be interrupted.
