lower, quit ClockWorks and increase the memory
partition in the Get Info window. (Highlight the
ClockWorks icon and choose Get Info from the File
menu.) You may also want to do this if you create and use
many modifiers.

WORKING WITH FILES

ClockWorks lets you save the entire contents of your
MOTU interface's memory, including base setups,
modifiers, and patches (which are explained in later
chapters) as a file on disk. The file can later be opened and
modified at any time. This allows you to store an unlimited
number of MOTU interface setups.
ClockWorks handles file saving, opening, and closing in
the normal Macintosh fashion. You can save a file, open it,
make changes to it, save the changes, or save them as a
different file under a different name with the Save As
command.
☛
ClockWorks is unique, however, when you close a file.
In most Macintosh programs, when you close a file,
windows associated with the file close as well. In
60
ClockWorks, none of the windows "belong" to a specific
file, so any windows that are open will remain open after
you close.
Creating a new file
To create a new file, just open ClockWorks. When you
open ClockWorks, it loads the entire contents of the
MOTU interface memory into the computer. It is stored in
RAM until you save it as a file, which is explained in the
next section.
Saving files
As you work with ClockWorks, the settings it is currently
displaying are stored in you MOTU interface's memory. If
you create an operating configuration that is either
important to you or somewhat time-consuming to
recreate, we strongly recommend that you also save it as a
file on your computer's hard disk. This will allow you to
easily restore it at a later time, if necessary, by simply
opening it in ClockWorks.
Here's the basic procedure to save a file:
1 Choose the Save command from the File menu.
