Anleitung Zusammenfassung
If you run out of RAM in the middle of a loading operation, you will get an error message: “Wave Memory Full”. No more Samples will be loaded, but the other files (if there are any) will be. You can always load files from a “PRM” target, because those files take up no memory. Saving Saving files in RAM to disk is done on the fourth Disk page, Disk Save. Select a Target, and all files of that type currently in RAM will appear in the directory window. If you have more than a screen’s full, use the Up/Down boxes to scroll. Next to the file name is the size of the file in seconds, which takes into account all of the Samples associated with the file. (As with loading, if you save any high-level file, all of its subsidiary files are saved along with it.) Remember that even if you are doing a non-destructive edit on a Partial or Patch, and that Partial or Patch is used in more than one higher-level file, the new version of the Partial or Patch will show up everywhere the old version did. So if you are making changes that might affect other files, save the changes with a new name (see the end of this chapter for information about naming files). To leave the Save Page and get back to the Menu or Page you started from, press the EXIT button. Using Floppies Floppy disks are a convenient way to store files “off-line”. You can Save to them or Load from them. Their advantages are that they are cheap, easy to transport, universally compatible, and readily available. One 10-second 44.1-kHz Sample, for example, will require two 800k floppies to store. Disk types and Formatting The DJ-70 can use both standard double-sided/double-density (800k) and high-density (1.44M) 3-1/2” diskettes, just like those you would buy for many personal computers. As with all devices that use floppies, new disks must be formatted before using. However, you can Save a file to a floppy without pre-formatting it - the formatting operation is handled automatically. Structure » 37 On the other hand, if you are planning to use many floppies in an operation (to store either one large file or several small ones), you can save time by formatting the disks ahead of time. This is handled on the Disk Util page, the fifth Page of the Disk Function. Go to that page by pressing F5. Insert the disk you want to format into the drive, making sure it is not write-protected: the write-protect tab should be snapped towards the center of the disk. Select FD Format. The DJ-70 knows what kind of disk is in the drive, and formats it accordingly. Remember that formatting a disk erases everything on it. If the disk was previously formatted for the DJ-70 and contains either any Sample files or an operating system, the software will tell you so (“This is a Sound Data Disk!” or “This is a System Disk!”), and ask you again whether you want to format it. If you have a disk in the drive you don't want to format, you can push the eject button on the right side of the drive to get it out of there, and replace it with another disk. If you get confused or for some reason want to forget the whole thing, press the Exit button. One File per Disk... You can only save one file on a floppy disk. If you try to save another file, the first one will be erased (the software will warn you before this happens). However, the file that you save can be at any level, so you can, for example, store a Performance containing many Patches, Partials, and Samples on a floppy. You can then load in any of the subsidiary files to RAM. You just can’t save any of the subsidiary files individually to the floppy, without wiping out everything else. A floppy disk can be either a System disk or a sound data disk, but not both. If you have previously used a disk to Save System (see Chapter 9), and you Save a sound file on it, the System will be erased. Similarly, if you Save System on a disk that has sound data on it, the sound files will be erased. ...But Several Disks per File Very often, as we mentioned above, a file will need more than one floppy to hold it. An 800k disk will hold about 8.3 seconds of Samples at the 44.1 kHz Sampling Frequency, while a L44M disk will hold just about 15 seconds. If the file you’re saving is bigger than that, the DJ-70 automatically splits it up among as many disks as it needs. When the first disk is full, it asks you to insert another one. It automatically formats this disk (and warns you if there’s already something on it), and then continues to save the file. It will keep asking for more disks until its hunger is satiated. As you use a disk, put a label on it and number it! Don’t put the disks away just yet - when the procedure is done, the DJ-70 will ask for all of them again, for just a moment, so that it can do its own numbering.
