THE PRELOAD FUNCTION
The Preload function is a background loading
facility which allows you to playback all the Songs
and/or MIDI Files contained in a floppy disk or
Hard disk with a single command, without hav-
ing to load all the data to memory beforehand.
Note: if the disk or Hard disk contains more
than one Block, only the songs contained in the
first Block will be played while those of other Blocks
are ignored.
Furthermore, if the «Auto Preload» option is ena-
bled, Preload loads a Song together with all as-
sociated RAM-Sounds and RAM -Sounds to
ensure the correct playback.
It is also possible to prepare a "Preload" list con-
sisting of Songs and MIDI files, provided that both
files types are present on the source device
(floppy or Hard disk); you can select files from
different Blocks.

PLAYBACK ALL THE SONGS OR MIDI
FILES ON DISK
If you have a SK760/880 Songs disk, or have
purchased a MIDI File data disk, or your Hard
disk contains Song files, you can playback all the
files in a Block with a single command, without
having to load them to memory beforehand.
Preload plays back up to 16 Songs or MIDI files
one after the other.
1. Insert the disk into the disk drive and press
PRELOAD.
After short disk scanning period, the first Song
on the disk starts to play. During playback,
the background loading procedure for the
second song begins (the message
"Preloading Song" appears for an instant).
Playback continues non-stop until all the
Songs or MIDI Files on disk have been
played. During playback, the Song view page
is shown, where you can select a track and
set it to key-play in order to play along with
the Song. Use the << and >> buttons to ad-
vance or rewind the Song at will.
Playback stops automatically when the last
Song or MIDI File reaches the end.
2. During playback, press PRELOAD to enter the
Preload display.
Once you have entered the Preload display,
you will have access to the available options
using the corresponding Soft buttons F1...F8.
3. Press STOP at any time during playback to stop
the current song and return to the Song view
page.
This will, however, cancel the Preload opera-
tion.
