Akai S950 Operator's Manual page 66

This page also allows you to load all the samples on a disk into memory but
without the program information. To do this, move the cursor one more
position right to the 'All samples' field and press ENT - this will load all
the samples on that disk into memory.
Once again, if there is insufficient memory space in the S950, the display
will give you the usual 'OOOPS! Memory sample space full' message.
The next pages are concerned with SAVING data onto disk.
Page 05 allows you to wipe a whole disk and save the entire contents of the
S950's memory onto it. The display shows:
The top right percentage display shows the S950's current memory capacity
whilst the lower percentage display shows how full of data the disk is.
Note: if your 5950 has the full complement of memory expansion boards, the
top right display may only show something like 85x. If you use normal DD
disks, this is too much to be stored on one disk even though the percentage
display indicates that only 85x percent of the memory is full. Of course,
this figure relates to 85x of three times the DD disks capacity. In other
words, either use more than one DD disk or use HD disks o- a hard disk.
To wipe the disk and save the contents of the S950's memory to disk, simply
press ENT but be careful that you are not erasing a valuable disk as there is
no stopping this procedure once it has been initiated.
The next page allows you to save individual programs with or without their
respective samples onto disk. The display reads:
where ###~`# is the currently selected program to save.
To select a program for saving, move the cursor to the 'name' field and use
the CONTROL knob to scroll through the programs currently in the S950's
memory. Once you have made your selection, move the cursor to either the 'PR
only' or 'PR & smpls' field and hit the ENT button. This will save that
program onto disk.
percentage and this will increase when you save more samples onto it.
The next page allows you to save individual samples:
where ######f*#;# is the currently selected sample.
As in Page 06, move the cursor to the 'name' field and scroll through the
samples until you find the one you wish to save. When you have done that, hit
the ENT button and the sample will be saved to disk. The percentage figure
displays the disks current capacity and will increase as you save more
samples.
