30 - SAVE VOICE TO DISK
This function lets you save an individual Voice to a Library disk.
1. Check that there is sufficient space on the Library disk to hold the Voice by
inserting a formatted Library disk in one of the Emulator II drives, then referring to
DISK 3.
2. After invoking DISK 3, the display will show the remaining amount of Library disk
space in Bytes (samples). Note this reading. If the space remaining is expressed
in Banks, then you have inserted a Performance disk instead of a Library disk.
Insert a Library disk and repeat step 1.
3. Activate the Voice Definition module and assign the Voice you want to save as
the Current Voice. Refer to VOICE DEFINITION 15 to check the length of the
Current Voice. You can save the Voice as long as the SndLength number in the
display is less than the space remaining on the Library disk and greater than
5500.
CAUTION, WARNING, CAREFUL, CUIDADO, LOOK OUT, BEWARE:
ATTEMPTING TO SAVE A VOICE WHICH IS SHORTER THAN 5500
SAMPLES TO A LIBRARY DISK WILL CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC DISK
ERROL YOU WILL LOSE ALL VOICES STORED ON THE LIBRARY DISK,
AND THE DISK WILL NEED TO BE RE-FORMATTED.
Sorry about that, but it’s due to the way that disks store data and there’s
nothing we can do about it right now.
4. Key in 30 to save. The display asks:
Save Voice to
Disk? Y/N
Pressing NO returns you to the Module Identifier. Press YES to save the Voice to
disk. The lower display line will say “Just a Moment...”. After saving, you will
return to the Module Identifier.
