Changes in DISK MODE
The floppy-disk format page includes a new Quick format command. This command
lets you do a very quick reformat of a disk that has already been formatted at least once.
If you try this on a disk that has never been formatted, the screen displays a message
informing you that normal formatting is required and asking you whether you wish to
continue. If you wish to proceed you must also specify the disk type (2HD or 2DD).
This is a new page. You access this page by selecting the DISK | DISK function and then
moving to the last page.
The Knob 1 (TopPartition) setting makes it possible to work with multipartition hard
disks and CD-ROMs designed for use with foreign samplers. The setting selects the
number of the first partition accessed by the A3000. This setting has no meaning when
you are working with disks set up for use with the A3000.
Knob 4 (Play&Load) lets you select whether it is possible to play sound from the A3000
at the same time as you are loading data from disk. Set to on to enable simultaneous
playing and loading, or off to disable. Note that load time will be longer if you enable
this setting. Note also that A3000 polyphony drops to 32 when loading is in progress.
