Learning The SP-12 Librarian

This section,

Learning The SP-12 Librarian

, deals briefly with saving

files, loading files, and compiling the Sound Catalog. It is a summary

of information found throughout the User’s Manual, and is intended to

get you running in the shortest possible time.

Learning The SP-12 Librarian

contains key concepts that must be

understood when using the SP-12 Librarian. We recommend that all

users read this section. If you want a more detailed explanation of a

particular item or feature, read the corresponding section in

Using

The SP-12 Librarian

The SP-12 Librarian maintains five different types of files, as

illustrated below. Each file, when open, is displayed as a single

window, so you can consider the words

file

and

window

to be

synonymous. The five types of SP-12 Librarian files are:

SP-

Blank Sound Sequence Damaged Sound

File File File File Catalog

Blank File: Before you can save the SP-12’s sound or sequence

data, a new file must be created. This file remains blank (empty)

until SP-12 information is saved in that file.

Sound File: Contains a set of SP-12 sounds (up to 32) including

their names and other related information. If you save sounds in a

blank file, the blank file will become a sound file.

Sequence File: Contains a set of SP-12 sequences (100 songs and

100 segments) including their names. If you save sequences in a

blank file, the blank file will become a sequence file.

Damaged File: If something goes wrong while saving SP-12 data to

a blank file, it will become a Damaged file. You can treat a

damaged file the same as you would a blank file: you can drag it to

the trash, or save SP-12 data in that file to make it become a

sound or sequence file.

Sound Catalog: Contains the entire SP-12 Sound Catalog

information. Note that the catalog is comprised of names, and not

the actual sound samples. You can think of the Sound Catalog as

an index to your sample library.

Creating A New File

Before you can save any of the SP-12’s data on the Macintosh, you

have to create a new file. To create a new file, do the following:

1. If you have not already done so, double-click the “SP-12

Librarian” icon to start the program.

2. If you are going to store your sounds and/or songs on floppy

disks, insert the appropriate floppy disk in the disk drive.

3. Choose

New

from the File menu. A dialog asking for a “New

File Name” is displayed. Type in a file name, but don’t click

Save just yet.

4. If you are using floppy disks only, select the floppy that isn’t

your startup disk (if necessary) so that the new file is not

created on your startup disk.

5. Click the Save button to save the file. You have just created a

new (empty) file. You may now continue to

Saving Sounds or

Songs

Saving Sounds or Songs

The SP-12 Librarian lets you save the SP-12’s sound or sequence

data to the active window’s file.

If you are creating a new file, read

Creating A New File

immediately preceding this section.

If you are in The Finder, double-click the file in which the SP-12’s

data will be saved.

If you are in The SP-12 Librarian and the required file is not visible,

you can use the Windows menu to activate the required window (if

it is open), or use

Open

in the File menu to open the required file.

(Note that since a maximum of 4 sound or sequence files can be

open simultaneously, you may have to close one of the other

windows first.)

To save the SP-12’s sounds or sequences on the Macintosh, do the

following:

1. Make sure the active window is the one you want to use to save

the SP-12’s data.

2. Select

SP-12 Link

in the Windows menu. This establishes a link

between the SP-12 and the Macintosh (it gets the two talking to

each other on MIDI). An “SP-12 Link” dialog appears with the

message “Waiting for commands from SP-12.” From this point

onwards, the Macintosh will get its orders (commands) from the

SP-12.

3. On the SP-12’s control panel, press the Cassette/Disk button to

activate that module.

4. To save sounds, type 32 in the SP-12’s numeric pad.

To save sequences, type 31.

5. The SP-12 displays the message “Insert Disk and Press Enter.”

Press the SP-12’s Enter button. The SP-12 begins saving its

data on the Macintosh.

Notice that the SP-12 treats the Macintosh just like a 1541

disk drive, only considerably faster. All the SP-12’s

Cassette/Disk operations are the same when using the SP-12

Librarian as with the 1541 disk drive, except that the first digit of

each operation is a “3” instead of a “2”.

6. When the SP-12 has finished savings its data, click the Cancel

button on the

SP-12 Link

dialog. This concludes the link

between the SP-12 and the Macintosh. You may now type in

the names of your sounds, or sequences. For more information,

see

Using a Sound File

and

Using a Sequence File

in the

“Using the SP-12 Librarian” section.

Loading Sounds or Songs

The SP-12 Librarian lets the SP-12 load sound or sequence data

from the active window’s file.

If you are in The Finder, double-click the sound or sequence file

you wish to load into the SP-12.

If you are in The SP-12 Librarian and the required file is not visible,

you can use the Windows menu to activate the required window (if

it is open), or use

Open

in the File menu to open the required file.

(Note that since a maximum of 4 sound or sequence files can be

open simultaneously, you may have to close one of the other

windows first.)

To load sounds or sequences from the Macintosh into the SP-12, do

the following:

1. Make sure the active window is the one you want to load into

the SP-12. (It must be a sound or sequence file.)

2. Select

SP-12 Link

in the Windows menu to establishes a link

between the SP-12 and the Macintosh.

3. On the SP-12’s control panel, press the Cassette/Disk button to

activate that module.

4. To load sounds, type 35 in the SP-12’s numeric.

To load sequences, type 33.

5. The SP-12 displays the message “Insert Disk and Press Enter.”

Press the SP-12’s Enter button. The SP-12 begins loading its

data from the Macintosh.

6. When the SP-12 has finished loading its data, click the Cancel

button on the

SP-12 Link

dialog to terminate the SP-12 link.
