Auto-Loading; Saving To Disk - Akai S1000 Series Operator's Manual

Auto-loading

If you turn on the S1000 with a diskette in the drive, the contents of the disk will be
loaded into memory. If the disk contains a copy of the operating system, and this
operating system is a higher version number than the ROM version, this will be loaded.
If a hard disk is fitted, and the operating system is loaded on the first volume, the
operating system will be automatically loaded from this, if it is a higher version than the
ROM version, and no diskette is in the drive at power-on.
We strongly recommend that you make a copy of any Operating System diskettes for
your 51000 and always turn on the S1000 with the copy (not the original) inserted in the
drive.
If you have not made a copy of the operating system, DO SO NOW!, following the
instructions in the first section of this manual.
Further updates to the operating system may become available. We suggest that you
keep in touch with your AKAI Professional dealer to find out when these updates are
available and what benefits you will get from them.

Saving to disk

REMEMBER! When you turn off the S1000, all samples, programs and drum settings are
lost. Save your work to disk if you want to keep it for another session.
By pressing the
SAVE
and samples to disk. Make sure that you have enough unprotected formatted disks available
before you press
SAVE
The process of saving to disk is much the same as loading from disk. There are two major
differences, however.
1) Disk space is measured in blocks - not percentage free space. One formatted MF2DD disk
contains 796 blocks, and one MF2HD disk contains 1595 blocks.
2) The unexpanded S1000 is capable of holding more data than will fit onto a single
MF2DD or MF2HD diskette. If you try to save an entire volume with many programs and
samples, you will have to use more than one disk.
