7.2 Saving a sequence

This function saves a single sequence to a disk file, called a "sequence" file
(the 3 letter file extension is "SEW). From the disk menu screen, type 1 to
select SAVE SEQUENCE and the following screen will appear:
To save a sequence file:
1. Select the sequence number to be saved using the SELECT
SEQUENCE TO SAVE field. The active sequence is automatically
inserted here when this screen is first displayed. This may be changed with
the numeric keypad or the DATA CONTROL. The disk file name will be
created from the sequence name. There are two on-screen fields to
determine whether there is enough space on disk to save the file: SIZE and
DISK SPACE AVAILABLE. SIZE displays the size (in bytes) of the
selected sequence; DISK SPACE AVAILABLE displays the available
space (in bytes) on the disk currently inserted in the disk drive. The
sequence size should be smaller than the disk space available for the file to
fit on the disk.
2. Press SOFT KEY 1, <Save it to disk>, to save the sequence file to disk.
The file extension of sequence files is "SEQ". After the file is saved, the
"Save Sequence" screen remains so that you can save another sequence.
NOTE: If you attempt to save a file to a disk which already contains a file of
the same name, the lowest 2 lines of the screen will change to the following:
If you press SOFT KEY 1, <Yes>, the existing disk file will be
overwritten by the file you are saving. If you press SOFT KEY 2,
<No>, the save operation is cancelled and the previous screen is
redisplayed.
