S2000 Operator’s Manual - Version 1.30 Page 7
LCD The 2 x 16 character display shows parameters and values.
FUNCTION/CURSOR KEYS These two keys will initiate a function in certain pages (i.e.
LOAD, SAVE, GO, EXECUTE and other ‘do it’ functions.) or
allow you to move the cursor around certain pages. The
context will make their function clear.
THE DISK DRIVE
The 3.5 inch floppy disk drive will accept high density and low density disks .
Disks are inserted into the drive thus:
DISK EJECT BUTTONDISK ACTIVITY LED
HIGH DENSITY
DETECTION TAB
WRITE PROTECT TAB
The label should be facing upwards when it is inserted (actually, it is physically impossible to
insert disks the wrong way round without using an extreme amount of brute force!).
To eject the disk, simply press the DISK EJECT button. When a disk is loading, saving or
formatting, the DISK ACTIVITY LED will be lit.
It is important to remember that, unlike a synthesiser, the S2000 has no means of storing
sounds in an internal memory. As a result, it is vital that you save your work to disk before
turning the power off otherwise you will lose your work and, unless previously saved or backed
up, it will be gone for ever. In fact, it is a good idea to regularly save your work as you are
working. All good computer users do this and it prevents the accidental loss of data should
power be accidentally removed from the instrument. This also serves as a form of ‘undo’ - if you
make some kind of mistake in your programming and editing and can’t fix it, you can load the
last level of editing back into the sampler. It may be a bit tedious to keep stopping every now
and then to save your work but it is better than losing some valuable sounds.
