S760 Volume Dump to Floppy Disk

The S-760 can save a Volume onto a floppy disk without having to save the actual sample data. If you’re using a CD-ROM player, but don’t have a hard drive, you can save your customized Volumes, Performances, Patches and Partials onto a floppy disk. When you reload from the floppy, the samples are loaded from a CD-ROM disc, etc. after the upper parameters are loaded from the floppy disk.

1. Using the directions from Loading Sounds (Using the Preview CD-ROM Disc), load and create a custom Performance from a Volume
2. Jump to the System Volume ID page. Press Shift + Jump and move the cursor to 4) Sys Volume ID and press S1.
3. Name the Volume by pressing S2 and use the S-760 ASCII keyboard to create your Volume Name by selecting the letter with your cursor and pressing S1 for each letter.
4. Go to the Disk Mode by pressing the Mode button. Highlight Disk and press

S1
. Press the Value/Menu knob and move the cursor to 9) VolumeDumpFD and press S1.
5. You will now be on the VolumeDumpFD page. Put a 3.5 inch formatted disk in the disk drive. Press F1/Save and the S-760 will start saving the Volume (“Now Working”) onto the floppy disk in the drive. If the disk in the drive is unformatted you will be prompted to format the disk. Press F1 to format the disk. After formatting the disk, a display will show several blank locations to save the Volume Dump. Highlight the first position and press F1 Save. “Now Working” will be shown on the LCD display and a count-down will be displayed on the lower right corner of the screen.
