Loading Sounds on the S760 (Using the Preview CD-ROM disc)

First, you must have a CD-ROM drive connected to the S-760. These next steps assume that the S-760 has only 2MB of RAM.

1. From the Performance Play page, press the Shift button, then the Jump button.
2. Move the cursor down with the arrow down button to (2) Disk load.
3. Press the S1/DEC button.
4. You are now on the Disk Load page. Here, you can determine from which drive you want to load, and what type of file you want to load. Initially, your cursor will be on Target Volume TG (Volm), for the time being we’ll leave this here.
5. Move the cursor using the arrow right button over to the current drive CD to set it to the SCSI ID (see SCSI setup) that you set for your CD-ROM player. To change this, highlight CD and press S1/DEC. You will come to a list on the Select Drive page that will show the SCSI IDs and the drives that are assigned to them. You should be able to see the CD-ROM drive on this list. You can use the arrow up and down buttons to see all the IDs on the list. If you don’t, you may have a SCSI problem. Go back and scan the drives by pressing F3, if the scan locks-up, check your SCSI cables and make sure you have configured the SCSI drives correctly. To select the drive, highlight the ID you want and press the S1/DEC button.
6. After you’ve selected the drive, you’ll come back to the Disk Load page. You will now see the drive you selected next to CD. Below that, you’ll see a listing of Volume files on the CD-ROM disc. Move your cursor using the arrow down button to Volume #58-FX: Industrial and press the Load F3 button. At this point the Volume file will start loading. Your MIDI/SCAN light will start flashing and “Now Working” will be displayed on the LCD.
7. Once the file is loaded, press the Shift button, then the Jump button and move the cursor to select Performance Play. Press the S1 button. You will come to the Performance Play page, there will be several patches listed under Patch Name.
You can also load other kinds of target files from the Disk Load page, such as Performances, Patches, Partials, and Samples. You can load several Patches from the disk and create your own Performance.

In the Disk Load page, change the Target to Patch by highlighting the current target listed next to TG and press the S1 button. You will come to a list of different targets that you can select. Move your cursor to Patch and highlight it and press S1. You will come back to the Disk Load page.

If you’re looking for a specific kind of instrument, you can search for that group of instruments by using the Volume ID select. Move your cursor to the ID (ALL) location and press the S1 button. You then can use the three letter ID system to show all the types of a particular instrument. For instance, if you’re looking for a bass patch, you can use the “BS” ID to show all the Bass patches on the the disk. Move your cursor to BS and press S1. The disk load page will come-up and display just the patches that use the “BS” ID. To reset for ALL, go back to select the Volume ID and press F2 (ALL).

Move your cursor down the list and highlight the Patch or Patches that you want to select for loading. After you highlight the Patch press the S1 button to select it. There will be a check mark next to the name showing you that it is selected for loading. If you want to deselect it, press the S1 button again.

After selecting the Patches that you want to load, press the F3/Load button. The Patches will load from the drive into the memory of the S-760. Make sure that you have enough time available (available RAM) to load the patches, otherwise you’ll be given a Memory Full error.
