Chapter 2 Trying It Out
Saving and Reloading Your Data
Like other samplers, the A3000 stores all new data into main memory only, and will lose all of this
data when you switch off the power. You must therefore be sure to save all important data to disk
before turning the A3000 off. Note that “new data” here refers to all newly recorded samples and
sequences, and to all editing changes that you make to your samples and programs.
In this example, we will save the data to a 2HD-type floppy disk.
Formatting a Floppy Disk
Floppy disks must be formatted before they can be used. The format operation sets the
disk up so that it can be used for data storage and retrieval. You can format a new disk
using the procedure described below, or you can use preformatted disks.
Note that the A3000 supports the following two format types only.
• MFF2DD (2DD disk type): MS-DOS 9-sector format 720KB
• MF2HD (2HD disk type): MS-DOS 18-sector format 1.44MB
Important
The format operation erases any data already on the disk.
