Akai S950 Operator's Manual page 63

Note 3: The 5950 loads ell programs first. If you use en S1000 disk, it
could be that the 5950 will load all the programs but the samples relating
to those programs may not be loaded. If this happens, when you go to PLAY,
you will be able to choose any of the many programs but not all of them will
make a sound because the samples contained within them are not present.
Note 4: If the memory expansion boards are fitted, the percentage display
changes as appropriate. For example, a full DD disk on an un-expanded 5950
will show 100x. If the full complement of memory expansion boards are fitted
so that the internal memory of the S950 is three times as large, the same
disk would display 33x.
The rest of this page is unused unless you have the ATARI/SUPRA HARD DISK
and CD/DAT INTERFACE BOARD (IB105> installed and the remaining facilities on
this page relate
documentation of the IBI05 for further information on these functions.
Page 02 displays the following:
where ##x is the amount of data on the inserted disk relevant to the 5950's
internal memory capacity.
The most commonly used function here is ' i' - Clear memory and load disk.
This will erase anything currently in the 5950 and fill it with the data on
the disk. After loading, the 'Mem' field will display what percentage of the
5950's memory is used.
The other options are as follows:
Load disk <2> - this will load the disk and but will not erase any of the
5950's current memory. This feature also allows you to load a disk while
playing a sound
limitations to this function. For example, if the 5950's memory is already
100% full, it is not possible to load any further sounds into it. If this
happens, the memory displays:
and you can now press 3 on the keypad to wipe the original data in the 5950
and load the new disk or press the ENT button to cancel that situation.
Either will take you back to Page 02 of the DISK pages.
To select either mode 1 or 2, move the cursor one position to the right and
press either 1 or 2 on the keypad.
Note: as mentioned above, the disk loads programs first followed by samples.
In this instance, it could be that the programs ere loaded but without their
respective samples. Selecting such a program will result in no sound being
heard.
