Disk Mode - Yamaha A3000 Quick Manual

Disk Mode

The concept of the A3000 includes the idea that all the Save Functions can be found
where the corresponding objects (Programs, Samples, Sample Banks) are edited,
namely in PLAY mode, in EDIT mode and in RECORD mode. The corresponding
SAVE functions have already been discussed in the PLAY mode section (page 8).
Therefore, you do not have to change to DISK mode to save your current working
progress.
DISK mode contains all Load Functions and all other DISK-related operations such
as Deleting, Formatting, Copying, Importing etc.
If you have connected additional internal or external drives (e.g. a SCSI drive), you
must select the DISK and the VOLUME before attempting to load (see F4 and F5).
F1 = Program
This function is used exclusively for loading one or all Programs together with the
assigned Samples.
Directly from within the PgmLoad page, you can use >Load to load single Programs
which have the same Program number both in memory and on disk, i.e. Program 001
to 001, 002 to 002, etc. With >All, all Programs of the selected Volume are loaded,
completely overwriting Programs residing in memory.
If you want to load Programs to any desired Program memory location, first go to the
PgmLoad page and select the Program to be loaded. Then press COMMAND and
set the destination memory position using knob 3. Confirm your selection using knob
1.
Owner's Manual p. 259 – 260
F2 = SAMPLE
Here you can load individual (<Load) or all Samples (>All).
When loading from SCSI disk, after selecting a Sample you can audition the sound
using AUDITION. With COMMAND >DELETE you can delete single Samples.
Owner's Manual p. 261 – 263
F3 = SEQUENCE
SeqLoad loads single sequences.
COMMAND calls up a function to delete sequences.
Owner's Manual p. 264 – 265
F4 = VOLUME
From within this page you can select (by turning knob 2), name (by pushing knob 2),
load (>LOAD) or create VOLUMES (>NEW). The last option applies only for SCSI
media, since floppy disks can only contain a single Volume, which is automatically
created by the A3000.
All functions refer to the drive selected with DISK.
COMMAND calls up a function to delete Volumes.
