UTILITY MODE
CARD UTILITY
4. Load from wave card
JUMP #824
Summary: This operation loads the entire contents
of the currently inserted WAVEFORM card into
the sample memory, allowing you to simul-
taneously use AWM voices that use data from
two different WAVEFORM cards.
Procedure:
From: card utility job directory (JUMP #812)
Select: 04:Load From Wave (JUMP #824)
Card
To execute: the operation press F8 (Go)
To quit: without executing press EXIT
To load all waveform data from the currently in-
serted WAVEFORM card, press F8 (Go). To quit
without loading press EXIT.
Remarks: If all the voices you are playing use the
same AWM WAVEFORM card (or preset wave-
forms), there is no need to use this operation.
This operation will be useful only when you
wish to use waveforms from more than one
waveform card at the same time. Once you have
loaded the contents of a waveform card, you can
then insert the other card into the WAVEFORM
slot, and have the waveform data of both cards
available simultaneously.
Waveform and sample data loaded using this
operation will be placed in consecutive sequence
in available MDR/sample RAM memory. Data
from two cards may be loaded at once, as long
as there is sufficient memory available to load all
of the waveform and sample data from the
second card in sequence after the data from the
first card.
If sufficient memory is not available, an error
message will be displayed to inform you of this
fact. You may wish to try using the initialize
waveform (page 161), sample delete (page 275),
initialize sample (page 278), or memory allocate
(page 256) operations to free enough memory to
load the data.
Keep in mind, however, that any memory
area freed by deleting samples or initializing
waveforms must allow the loaded data to fit into
the memory in consecutive order. Thus, for
example, it will be of little merit to delete only
the first of a series of samples.
