The LINKER module can be selected from the CONTROL screen by
highlighting the LINKER icon and pressing
RETURN
. The screen consists
of two windows; the file list on the left and the sequence on the right.
The file list displays any music files that have been loaded either as
individual music files or together as part of a LINKER file. The music files
are labelled from a…z. These letters are used to identify the music files in
the sequence. When files are loaded they are automatically entered in the
first available space in the list. They are then available for use in the
sequence. There are Commands for replacing and deleting music files in
the list.
The sequence window displays the order in which to play the individual
music files. Only music files that appear in the file list can be included in the
sequence. Files may be repeated as many times as you want in the
sequence. However there is a maximum of 99 items in any sequence! The
sequence can be played from any point.

underneath. You can scroll the file list in the window with

and
SHIFT-SPACE
. This is only necessary when you have too many files to fit
in the window.
