MULTI
QUICKSAVE
Pressing QUICKSAVE will pop-up this prompt:
The currently selected program is selected to save. You see its name and the folder it will
be saved to. Using the check boxes, you also have the option to save all the programs in
memory if you prefer (or just the currently selected one) with or without the samples.
The CHECK NAMES key allows you to disable the file checking - with it ON (checked ),
if a file of the same name exists in the selected folder, you will be prompted and asked if
you want to overwrite it or not. With CHECK NAMES switched OFF (checked ), files of
the same name will automatically be overwritten without prompting you.
The defaults are sensibly chosen to save just the selected program and its associated
samples (though to save time, if you have previously saved the samples and are happy
that they are ok and/or they haven’t been edited or changed in any way, you can disable
SAMPLES and just save the selected program which will be very quick).
Press EXECUTE to save; CANCEL SAVE to abort.
NOTE: The folder the program(s) will be saved to is shown. If this is not the right one, you
should press CANCEL SAVE and use the actual SAVE function to navigate your way to the
folder where you want the program to be saved. The ‘full’ SAVE function is described in a
separate chapter.
USING MULTIS
As mentioned, it is possible to have up to 128 multis in memory at any one time. Each multi may
contain as many as 128 programs or as little as one and each multi may contain a different
combination of programs.
Basically, the MULTI mode is the S6000’s ‘play’ mode and is where you can play programs singly
or in combination and is designed to be flexible enough to cover a wide range of applications.
Whereas on most synthesisers, sound modules, samplers, etc., you have various playback modes
(single, multi, combi, performance, whatever), the S6000 has just one versatile and consistent
play mode to cover all applications.
Some suggestions are shown here on the next few pages.
