Saving to Folders on a SCSI Device
Creating a New Folder
If you have a SCSI disk device connected to the MPC2000XL, you can make separate folders that
you can save files to, the same as you would on a computer.
For example, you could have separate folders for drum sounds, piano sounds, loops, etc.
You can also place folders within folders.
1 Hold down SHIFT and press LOAD (numeric key 3).
2 Move to the Device: field with the CURSOR keys and select the SCSI ID number that
you have set your external disk to with the DATA wheel (if there is no device set to the
selected SCSI ID number “No SCSI device!” will appear).
3 Move to the folder field ( ) in the top right of the screen and press OPEN WINDOW to
open the Directory window. (You can also press OPEN WINDOW when the cursor is in the
File: field of the LOAD screen.)
There will be a “ROOT” file already named. The list on the left hand side shows only the
first 8 letters of the folder's name.
4 Press NEW [F5].
Tap a drum pad or rotate the DATA wheel to display the name window.
Press
ENTER [F5] to save the new name and create the folder.
5 Press CLOSE [F4] to return to the “LOAD” screen (you can continue making other folders
before pressing “Close”).
The last selected folder will appear in the
File: field and you can now save into this
folder.
