Create A Preload List - GEM Powerstation SK760 Owner's Manual

Create a Preload list

1. If the Preload window is not showing, press
PRELOAD with a disk inserted in the drive,
press PRELOAD again then press RESET
LIST (F4).
Reset List cancels all the Songs from the
current list and stops playback instantly.
The PRELOAD window shows the Songs or
MIDI files disk directory on the left, and the
destination directory on the right, represented
by the Preload list.
2. If necessary select the source device using
the Soft buttons F1 («Floppy disk») and F2
(«Hard disk»).
3. Select the type of file to include in the list us-
ing the soft buttons F5 («SONG») and F6
(«SMF», Standard MIDI File).
4. Use the cursor buttons to select the Song or
MIDI file to include in the list and press EN-
TER. The selected file is added to the first
available space in the list and the destination
frame moves one step forward.
If the disk contains more than one Block,
press ESCAPE to exit from the current direc-
tory, select another block and press ENTER
to gain access.
5. Select other files and press ENTER each time
to include them in the list.
IMPORTANT: If you are working from
Floppy disk, do not extract the disk dur-
ing the file insertion procedure; doing so
will provoke the cancellation of the list.
6. If you want to change an inserted file, take
the cursor over to the right of the display,
select the file that needs replacing, return the
cursor over to the left, select the file to insert
and press ENTER.
