SAVE
S2000 Operator’s Manual - Version 1.30 Page 37
SAVE MODE
Once you have either loaded data and edited it or sampled your own sounds, you will want to
save it. This is done in the SAVE mode. If you have used the LOAD mode, you will notice many
similarities between the two modes. Pressing the SAVE key will give this display:
Here, you must select whether to save to floppy disk or hard disk.
NOTE: Unlike synthesisers which store their sounds in ROM, the S2000 does not retain the
contents of its memory when you switch it off. It is essential, therefore, that you save your work
before turning the S2000 off.
Also, it is worth saving your work regularly to prevent the accidental loss of data. An
unexpected power cut could lose a day’s work! Saving regularly also allows you to retrieve a
mistake such as accidentally deleting the wrong sample or program or a sample processing
function not turning out as you planned. Even experienced programmers have accidents like
this!
SAVING THE ENTIRE MEMORY TO FLOPPY DISK OR HARD DISK

screen:

Selecting HDSK will give this display:
Here, you can select the partition and the volume you want to save to. Press F1 and use the
DATA wheel to select the partition and press F2 and use the DATA wheel to select the volume
onto which you want to save.
NOTE: Ideally, you probably want to save onto an unused volume. An unused volume will
show something like this:
This indicates that volume 4 in partition A is unused.
Of course, you may want to save to an ‘active’ volume but be careful not to overwrite or erase
any valuable data.
Once you have selected the partition and volume, press PAGE DOWN. You will see this
display:
