Using The SP-12 Librarian SP-12 Librarian User’s Manual

Water’s Edge Software

Windows menu: SP-12 Link

SP-12 Link

is used to establish a link between the SP-12 and the

Macintosh (it gets the two talking to each other on MIDI). The

SP-12

Link

is established for a single file at a time. You can equate this file

with a 1541 disk, since the SP-12 reads from, or writes to this file in

pretty much the same way it works with a 1541 disk drive, only a lot

faster.

The active window must be a sound file, song file, blank file, or

damaged file. From the SP-12’s point of view, the active window is a

disk in a 1541 disk drive, and ready for action.

When it comes to sending and receiving its sound and sequence

data across MIDI, the SP-12 insists on being in charge (it won’t let an

external MIDI device tell it what to do). When you select

SP-12 Link

from the Windows menu, a dialog such as the one illustrated below,

appears:

Thermometer

Area

Message

Area

From this point onwards, the Macintosh gets its orders (commands)

from the SP-12. Use the SP-12’s control panel to perform the

functions you require, as follows:

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

activate that module.

2. Press “3”, followed by the number that corresponds to the

function you want to perform, then Enter. Although the functions

are printed on your SP-12’s control panel, they are listed again

for your reference:

1 = Save Sequences 6 = Load Sound #

2 = Save Sounds 7 = Verify Sequences

3 = Load Sequences 8 = Verify Sounds

4 = Load Segment # 9 = Catalog

5 = Load Sounds 0 = Format

As an example, to save sounds you would key in “32”, then

Enter.

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”.

SP-12 Command: 37 (Verify Sequences) & 38 (Verify Sounds)

Both of these commands read the contents of a file and compare it

with what is in the SP-12’s memory. The primary purpose of this is to

ensure that the data the SP-12 sent to the file has arrived intact.

The SP-12 Librarian automatically performs extensive data integrity

checks, so you probably won’t be using these two commands very

often.

SP-12 Command: 39 (Catalog)

The SP-12’s “Catalog” command is obsolete when you consider the

wealth of information available on the SP-12 Librarian. You probably

won’t use this command at all.

SP-12 Command: 30 (Format)

The SP-12’s “Format” command is obsolete when using the SP-12

Librarian, since files and disks can’t be formatted from the SP-12.

• If a floppy disk has never been formatted before (ie: it’s straight out

of the box), the Macintosh will format it for you when you put it in

the drive the first time.

• If you want to erase an entire disk, use The Finder’s

Erase Disk

command.

• If you want to create a new file, use the SP-12 Librarian’s

New

command in the File menu.

The SP-12 Link

The SP-12 Link dialog, as illustrated earlier on this page, has three

objects you should note:

• The Thermometer Area displays a thermometer whenever the

SP-12 is reading or writing a file. It is used to gauge the percentage

of completion for the operation, and is similar to the one you see in

The Finder when you copy files or disks.

• The Message Area displays messages and errors that result from

the commands issued by the SP-12. The Macintosh beeps you

when an error is detected. For a comprehensive list of errors, see

Messages And Errors

later in this manual.

• The Cancel button is used to close the

SP-12 Link

, and conclude

the link between your SP-12 and the Macintosh. Cancel is usually

pressed when the SP-12 finishes reading or writing a file.

However, you can press Cancel at any time to stop the current

SP-12 operation. If you do so, you will likely have to press the “No”

button on the SP-12’s “Master Control” module.

You can open and close the SP-12 Link window automatically by

setting the required

Preferences

. See the Edit menu’s

Preferences

for more details.
