• 5 The Disk
Working with a hard disk and floppy disks provides you with the possibility
to create an extensive library of Sounds, Samples, Performances, Styles,
Songs e Song Styles, that can be loaded to WK1 RAM at any time.
This chapter is an introduction to the concepts of File, Floppy Disks and
RAM memory. You will learn about the main access functions to a Disk
and how to load and save Songs, Styles, Performances, Samples, MIDI
Files and all the other formats that are compatible with WK1.

cannot read Songs, Styles and Samples in formats of non-
Generalmusic instruments. The exclusive format of musical instruments
adopted by a manufacturer is proprietary and not compatible with the format
of instruments of other makes. To exchange Songs with other instruments
it is necessary to save the Song as a MidiFile to a MS-DOS formatted
disk.
Files
Data are stored on disks in the form of files. Files identify Songs, Song
Styles, Performances, Styles or Samples.

The types of file used when working with a disk are identified by a name
(which appears in the 8- digit display area) and an extension (shown in
the 3-digit display area) which specifies the type of file.
In file types that include SONGS in PK, WK, STYLES and ALL formats,
the extension is not displayed. The extensions of all other recognized file
types are listed in the paragraph explaining the LOAD functions.
ACCESS TO DISK
Any operation involving files can be effected using the functions given in
the Disk mode pages, through the FLOPPY DISK function key.
