System-Wide Changes
Version 2 can now save volumes across multiple floppy disks. FD saves are no longer
limited to the capacity of a single disk.
If the A3000 runs out of space on the first FD during the save, it displays a message
asking whether you wish to continue the save onto multiple disks. If you decide to go
ahead, answer OK to the message and then follow the displayed instructions.
You do not need to use formatted disks. The A3000 can format new disks without abort-
ing the save procedure.
Disks used for multi-FD saves take a special format, and must be treated as a set. You
cannot use DISK mode to check the individual samples or programs stored on disks, or
to save additional data to these disks. When reloading, you must reload the entire vol-
ume.
When making the save, the A3000 gives each disk the same disk name followed by a
sequential number. Since you cannot check the names of individual objects on the disk,
it is suggested that you use a descriptive disk name.
To reload the volume: Insert the first of the disks, then go the DISK | VOLUME function
and begin loading in the usual way. Insert the remaining disks in accordance with the
instructions displayed on the LCD.
If you are changing the value of a signed setting, you can immediately change the value
to +0 by pushing the knob. If you push the knob a second time, the value returns to its
initial value. If the original value is -49, for example, pushing the knob once will change
the value to +0; pushing again returns the value to -49. Note that if you toggle the
value to +0 and then switch to a different screen, the nonzero value (in the toggle
buffer) will be lost.
Note that there are a few screens where the knob-push action is assigned to a different
operation and will therefore not operate in this way.
On Version 1, you use Knob-1 turn action to change the page within the selected func-
tion. On Version 2, you have two options:
1. Set Knob 1 turn action so that it selects the page. (Same as on Version 1.)
2. Set Knob 1 turn action so it changes the sample selection. Each time you change
the selection, the new sample name appears on the top line of the screen for about
one second.
To assign the Knob 1 turn action, go to the UTILITY | SYSTEM Keys page.
Note that if you set Knob 1 to operate as a sample selector, you must use the function
keys to change the pages.
