Formatting
If the format of the CF card that you inserted is different and you select [CF Card
Setting] from the [System Setting] menu and check [Format Buffering Area
Automatically], a sampling file is automatically formatted when inserting the CF
card. If a sampling file (Smpxxxx.bin) already existed, it is overwritten. If you
select [CF Card Setting] from the [System Setting] menu and uncheck
[
Format the Buffering Area Automatically], you need to press the [Function:
CF Card Format (Buffer)] switch and format the sampling file.
* However, when you set not only sampling files but also data files for the
memory manager function to a CF card, if the data file format is different,
sampling will not begin. In this case, you need to press the [Function: Card
Format] switch to format both data files and the sampling files.
Importing Data
There are two ways to import sampling data from a CF card into your personal
computer.
♦
When Using Macro:
You can convert sampling data to the CSV format by executing the
“SMPL_CSV” macro command on the V series. If this CF card is read from your
personal computer, you can edit the data immediately using text editing software
and Excel, etc. For more information on macro, refer to “Chapter 23 CF Card
(V7 Only).”
♦
When Using Memory Card Editor:
You can import data using the “Memory Card Editor” software (M-CARD SFTE)
by converting sampling files (BIN files) which are imported into a CF card as
*mcd files. Convert files using the V-SFT “CF Card Manager.” For more
information on conversion procedure, refer to “Chapter 23 CF Card (V7 Only).”
[Differences between the [ CF Card Format] Switch and the [Card Format] Switch
[The [ CF Card Format] switch is available only for sampling files. When using this
switch, the V series checks the sampling format. If the format is different, only sampling
files (Smpxxxx.bin) whose formats are different are formatted.
Therefore, when you press this switch, if a sampling file that has the same format exists
and it is under sampling, you do not need to clear data. (Note that this switch causes a
beep whether or not a file is formatted.) If you use the memory manager function (refer
to “Chapter 25 Memory Card Mode”) as well as sampling files, the recipe data used in
the memory manager function is not formatted by this switch. Note that the memory
manager function is not displayed until the sampling format matches. When the format
matches, the memory manager screen also works correctly.
Meanwhile, when using the [Card Format] switch, whether or not the format matches, all
data in the [CARD] folder of a CF card, including sampling files and the memory
manager function, is formatted and reset (cleared).
