Saving and Loading
For the sake of convenience, you will generally want to save and reload an entire vol-
ume. The use of a "volume save" makes it easy to save the entire main-memory content
before switching the A3000 off, so that you can then restore the identical environment
the next time you switch the power back on. You can resume work exactly where you
left off, with all of your samples and programs intact.
The use of multiple volumes allows you to prepare multiple environments, so that you
can then switch from one to the other during live performance or when working on
different projects. If you are using floppy disks only, then you can store only one volume
per disk (so that you will need to change disks in order to load a different environment).
If you are using a SCSI drive, however, then you can save multiple volumes to the same
physical disk.
It is also possible, of course, to save and reload one or more selected objects (samples,
programs, or sequences). This approach is useful when you want to bring objects from
one environment into another environment — for example, when you want to load all
objects from one volume and then add selected objects from some other volume.
