F5 = DISK
Disk = Here you can select a drive or a partition, which is a precondition for all load
operations in DISK Mode. A SCSI drive can be subdivided into PARTITIONS which
are then treated as autonomous drives.
Config = After connecting SCSI devices (hard disk drive, MO drive, CD ROM drive,
...) and selecting the correct SCSI ID, Config is used to monitor the connection status
of each device. With Mount = on the SCSI device will be mounted for use with the
A3000.
For connecting SCSI devices please read the relevant section in the appendix of the
Owner's Manual, page 328.
SelfID = This sets the SCSI ID of the A3000 itself as a SCSI device.
COMMAND functions:
FORMAT = Fast formatting of the drive of the selected ID and partitioning to up to
8 partitions of equal size (max. 512MB each). For example when formatting a 540
MB drive, you must specify at least 2 partitions.
The fast formatting works only if the disk drive has already been formatted for the
A3000. For new disk drives or drives that were used with other systems, physical
formatting (PHYS-FMT) is required.
With PART-FMT you can format single partitions.
FD-FMT = This command formats HD or DD disks (Type). The A3000 uses a DOS-
compatible disk format. However for save operations, even pre-formatted DOS
disks must be formatted again using the A3000.
Owner's Manual p. 252 – 258 and 268 – 271
F6 = IMPORT
Using the IMPORT function you can load Samples that have not been saved in the
A3000 format. Standard MIDI Files (SMF) can also be imported.
ImpSmp loads single Samples of Akai or EMU formats, either from disk or from
CD ROM. Please be sure to set the DISK (and PARTITION, if applicable) and the
VOLUME correctly when loading from CD ROM.
With ImpVce you can load complete Programs in Akai or EMU formats. The
Program appears in the A3000 as a new Sample Bank. The mapping will be taken
over; only the sound parameters such as envelopes and filter must be set anew.
Stereo Samples are recognized and managed as such by the A3000.
Import Othr = With this function, Samples in TX16W, AIFF, and WAV formats can
be loaded from MS-DOS disks (HD or DD). The disks must not be formatted in the
A3000. If any problems occur you should check whether the file name extension is
correct (see Owner's Manual p. 276). Naturally, the imported Samples are available
as A3000 Samples and not as sequences (comp. Owner's Manual p. 272).
In the A3000, imported Samples are managed like new Samples. Therefore you must
at least set the following parameters if you do not want to hear the raw sound only:
ToPgm switch, key ranges, output assignment (Stereo or Effect 1, 2, 3), MIDI
Channel.
You can also load Standard MIDI Files (SMF) from MS-DOS disks with this
function. After loading, these files are available as SEQUENCEs. More about this
topic in the section UTILITY – SEQUENCE (page 27).
