NAME/CLEAR/DISK

• The FREE AREA value in the WAVE NAME and CLEAR displays
indicates free wave RAM area, while the FREE AREA value in the
EXPORT AS WAV and DELETE displays indicates free disk area.
1: WAVE NAME
Enter an original name for the selected wave as described on
page 21.
2: CLEAR
Use the WAVEFORM and WAVE LCD dials to select a
waveform and wave.
The WAVEFORM CLEAR LCD button clears the entire
waveform and the waves it contains. Waves which are actually
included in other waveforms but are shared by the selected
waveform will not be cleared.
The WAVE CLEAR LCD button clears only the selected
wave. If the selected waveform only has one wave, you will be
asked to confirm whether it is OK to clear the entire waveform.
You will also be alerted if the selected wave is shared by other
waveforms.
3: EXPORT AS WAV
This function exports the current wave as a WAV file which
can be loaded and used by other instruments or computers
which can handle the WAV format.
If the optional hard disk is present, use the DIRECTORY
LCD dials to select the floppy disk or hard disk directory to
which you want to save the file. Press the NEW FILE LCD
button to create a new file, or overwrite an existing file by using
the FILE LIST LCD dials to select the target file and then
pressing the OVERWRITE LCD button.
• Since this function saves the wave in standard WAV format, param-
eters unique to the PSR-8000 are not saved.
4: DELETE
Use this function to delete unwanted wave or waveform files
from disk.
If the optional hard disk is present, use the DIRECTORY
LCD dials to select the floppy disk or hard disk directory
containing the file you want to delete. Use the FILE LIST LCD
dials to select the target file and then press the EXECUTE LCD
button to delete it.
• A icon between the FILE LIST number and file name indicates a
WAV or AIFF format wave file, while a
96
..............................................................
icon indicates a waveform file.
