LOAD
LOAD MODE
The LOAD mode allows you to load data into the S3000XL. The main LOAD page looks
something like this:
A list of all files (programs, samples and drum settings) will be displayed on the right side
of the page. Programs have a 'P' beside their name, samples have an 'S', and drum
input settings have a 'D'. Effects files have an 'X' beside them. Floppy disks or hard disk
volumes that contain S1000 or S1100 samples will have a '1' after these letters to signify
they are from this series of sampler. They may be freely loaded into the S3000XL without
any problems.
Beside the type of file on the disk, there is also a percentage number along side it, which
gives the amount of space that this file will take when loaded into memory. Programs and
effects files will usually show 0%.
The left hand side of the display shows you how many programs, keygroups and samples
are free in memory (you may have a total of 1,022 'items') and at the bottom it displays
how many programs and samples are currently in memory.
If you cannot see the file you want to load, move the cursor to the list of files and scroll up
and down to display all the files on the disk. If the file you want is not on the disk, insert
another disk and press LOAD to re-read the disk. If you have a hard disk fitted, then you
can choose another volume to read. When you know that you have the right disk or
volume, you can proceed.

SELECTING THE HARD DISK PARTITION
When a hard disk is formatted on the S3000XL, it is divided into sections called partitions
(see SAVE - FORMATTING for details on formatting disks). This makes disk management
slightly easier. Depending on the number of partitions on your disk, the partition is shown
as a number A - ? next to the HARD-: field. You can move the cursor one position to the
right to select the partition you wish to load from. You will see something like this screen:
Use the DATA wheel to make your selection. Note that there will be a slight delay after
choosing a partition while the partition is selected and read by the S3000XL. One partition
on a hard disk can contain up to 100 volumes and each volume can contain up to 510
'items' - that is, combinations of programs, samples, effects files, Qlists, etc., and you can
select the volume from which you want to load data in the next parameter field -
