Akai S950 Operator's Manual page 69

In any of the pages 05 to 10, when you try to save anything onto a disk or
format a disk that has been write-protected the display will read:
and all the mode lights will flash. This is telling you that you cannot save
onto this disk because the tab in the bottom left of the disk has been
opened. By closing this tab, you will be able to save to disk and format. It
is a good idea
accidental erasure of precious programs or samples.
Page li allows you to load sounds from the hard disk using MIDI program
change. The display reads:
The volume number attached to the RENAME FLOPPY function on Page 01 of disk
when used to save data to the hard disk can be set to correspond to a MIDI
program number so that pressing the required program number ow the MIDI
controller will initiate a disk load where the equivalent contents of one
floppy disk's worth of data will be loaded from the hard disk. Please refer
to the IB105's documentation for further information.
The final page in DISK allows you to park the hard disk drive's heed making
it safe for transportation. The display shows:
To execute this function, simply hit the ENT button. Of course, this
function does not apply if you are not using the hard disk option.
That concludes ours examination of the DISK functions. As always, the whole
thing is structured to be very easy to use but, even then, mistakes can
still be made. Try to bear the following things is mind when using the disk
drive.
1. Always keep a track of what you are doing when using the DISK mode. It is
all to easy to be distracted and accidentally load a disk and wipe the
memory instead of saving hours worth of work to disk. Even full time
professional programmers have been known to do this!!
2. Be very careful with Page 05 that you don't accidentally wipe the entire
contents of an important disk when saving data. Always check the disk before
you save any data - this can be done on Page 03 where you can scroll through
the programs on a disk.
3. Similarly, be
formatting.
4. Make sure that you don't accidentally erase the wrong data from disk on
Page 08.
