Akai S950 Operator's Manual page 68

It is also possible to erase samples or programs off disk and this is done on
Page 08.
To erase a program or sample, simply move the cursor to the appropriate field
using the 'cursor >' button and, using the CONTROL knob, scroll through the
programs or samples on disk until you find the one you wish to erase and then
press ENT which will erase it from the disk. Of course, it goes without
saying that you should be careful here so that you don't erase anything
precious: The percentage display will decrease as samples are erased from the
disk.
The next page is concerned with formatting a floppy or hard disk.
Any 3.5 inch double density (DD) or high density (HD) disk can be used with
the 5950 but, before it can be used, it has to be formatted so that it is
compatible with the S950's software. Hard disk drives also need to be
formatted and all this is done on Page 09.
To format a floppy disk (i.e. a 3. 5 inch DD or HD disk), move the cursor one
position to the right using the 'cursor >' button and press ENT. The S950
will now format the disk and the the display will slowly fill up with two
rows of dots as the formatting process takes place. When the display is full
of dots and the red disk activity light goes out, the disk is ready for use.
The other funtions are all concerned with the optional ATARI/SUPRA HARD DISK
INTERFACE (IB105) and you are advised to refer to the documentation that
accompanies the IB105 for further information.
IMPORTANT NOTE: FORMATTING A DISK WILL ERASE IT'S CONTENTS ENTIRELY ° THIS IS
TRUE OF BOTH FLOPPY AND HARD DISKS. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT YOU USE A BLANK DISK OR
ONE THAT YOU WANT TO ERASE.
Page 10 allows you to load and save drum settings for use with the ME35T. The
display shows:
To load a drum setting, move the cursor to the first field by pressing the
'cursor >' button once and pressing ENT. To save a drum setting, move the
cursor one further position right and hit ENT.
Note: Only one ME357 drum setting can be stored on disk and any other settings
on that disk wJ1J be overwritten by the new settings you wish to save. Make
sure, therefore, that you either use a new disk or that you are happy to
overwrite the existing drum settings.
