CMD
COPY O.S. TO DISK
SYSTEM•MIDI
Press Command / System•MIDI / 1
Use this command to put the ASR-10 Operating System (O.S.) on a new disk that you have
formatted, or to update the Operating System on an existing disk with a newer version.
Note:
The Operating System can only be copied to a blank disk, or a disk (with or without sounds and
sequences) that has an existing operating system on it. You cannot copy the Operating System to
a disk that only has instruments or sequences. Attempts to do so will result in an error message.
This procedure requires erasing whatever is in the ASR-10 Internal Memory, so make sure that
any important data has been saved to disk. Also, you’ll need a disk containing the Operating
System that you want to copy.
• Insert the disk containing the O.S. you want to copy (the source disk) into the drive.
• Select COPY O.S. TO DISK.
• Press Enter•Yes.
The display says MUST ERASE MEMORY, OK? If you need to save any sounds or sequences,
press Cancel•No and save the data before proceeding.
• Press Enter•Yes. The display says INSERT MASTER O.S. DISK. Make sure the source O.S.
disk is in the drive.
• Press Enter•Yes. The display says READING O.S. INTO MEMORY, and then INSERT
FORMATTED DISK.
• Insert the disk onto which you want to copy the O.S. (the destination disk) into the drive.
• Press Enter•Yes. The display reads WRITING O.S. TO DISK while the O.S. is being copied to
the disk.
When it’s done, the display reads COPY O.S. DONE. ANOTHER? If you want to copy the same
O.S. to another disk, insert another formatted disk and press Enter•Yes. You can repeat this
procedure as many times as you like. This makes it easy to update all your O.S. disks when a
new ASR-10 Operating System is released.
• When you are done, press Cancel•No.
