ISK
The floppy disk and the Ram-disk (if installed) are data storage systems which
store data contained in the instrument’s Ram. Owing to the fact that Ram is volatile
(the contents are cancelled when you switch off your instrument), it is necessary to
store your data on disk.
Floppy disks permits the storage and transportation of data, while the Ram-disk
provides high speed access to stored data.
The
DISK
environment - consisting of four pages - contains operations for the
exchange of data between the Ram and disk systems (floppy disk and Ram-disk)
and disk handling functions (formatting and erase...).
The
DISK
environment also has functions which allow you to exchange Midi-files
with other sequencers.
Automatic loading when powering up
The entire contents of the Ram-disk or a floppy disk can be loaded automatically
when you power up your instrument.
(A) Powering up with no disk in the disk drive.
- The entire contents of the Ram-disk are loaded. If the Ram-disk is empty, the instrument
powers up with a default configuration. The default display will appear:
(B) Powering up with a disk inserted in the disk drive.

Song 1 contained in the floppy disk will appear.
In order to power up the instrument with a default configuration, even when the Ram-disk
contains data, press and hold down

for several seconds immediately after turning on
