Saving The System To A Hard Drive; Loading Sounds (Using The Preview Disc) - Roland S-760 Supplemental Manual

Saving the System to a Hard Drive

For faster start-ups when booting the S-760, you can start the S-760 from a hard drive, Syquest remov-
able drive or a Magneto-Optical drive. To do this, use the following steps to put the operating system on
a drive.
1) From Performance Play press Mode, move the cursor down to F5 Disk and press S1.
2) You will be in the Disk Mode. Press the Value/Menu knob and move the cursor to (6)
Save System and press S1.
3) You will now be on the Save System page. Select the drive you want to save the system
on by pressing the S1 button. There will be a display showing what drives are available on
your SCSI chain. Select the drive by highlighting it with the cursor up and down buttons
and pressing the S1 button. You will come back to the Save System page. Press F3 and
"Now Working" will be displayed. When this is completed, remove the System floppy disk
from the drive. When you restart the S-760 it will now start from the device that you saved
the system on.
Loading Sounds (Using the Preview CD-ROM disc)
First, you must have a CD-ROM drive connected to the S-760. These next steps assume that the S-760
has only 2MB of RAM.
1) From the Performance Play page, press the Shift button, then the Jump button.
2) Move the cursor down with the arrow down button to (2) Disk load.
3) Press the S1/DEC button.
4) You are now on the Disk Load page. Here, you can determine from which drive you want
to load, and what type of file you want to load. Initially, your cursor will be on Target
Volume TG (Volm), for the time being we'll leave this here.
5) Move the cursor using the arrow right button over to the current drive CD to set it to the
SCSI ID (see SCSI setup) that you set for your CD-ROM player. To change this, highlight
CD and press S1/DEC. You will come to a list on the Select Drive page that will show the
SCSI IDs and the drives that are assigned to them. You should be able to see the CD-
ROM drive on this list. You can use the arrow up and down buttons to see all the IDs on
the list. If you don't, you may have a SCSI problem. Go back and scan the drives by
pressing F3, if the scan locks-up, check your SCSI cables and make sure you have config-
ured the SCSI drives correctly. To select the drive, highlight the ID you want and press the
S1/DEC button.
6) After you've selected the drive, you'll come back to the Disk Load page. You will now see
the drive you selected next to CD. Below that, you'll see a listing of Volume files on the
CD-ROM disc. Move your cursor using the arrow down button to Volume # 58– FX:
Industrial and press the Load F3 button. At this point the Volume file will start loading.
Your MIDI/SCAN light will start flashing and "Now Working" will be displayed on the LCD.
7) Once the file is loaded, press the Shift button, then the Jump button and move the cursor
to select Performance Play. Press the S1 button. You will come to the Performance Play
page, there will be several patches listed under Patch Name.
You can also load other kinds of target files from the Disk Load page, such as Performances, Patches,
Partials, and Samples. You can load several Patches from the disk and create your own Performance.
In the Disk Load page, change the Target to Patch by highlighting the current target listed next to TG
and press the S1 button. You will come to a list of different targets that you can select. Move your cursor
to Patch and highlight it and press S1. You will come back to the Disk Load page.
