PAGE 5 - FORMAT
The Format function lets you initialize a disk.
Press DISK and use the MENU or PAGE buttons to reach this
page.
Warning: When formatting a disk device, all data will be lost.
FD Fast Format
This is a very fast format command, that you can use on pre-
viously formatted floppy disks. This command rewrites just
the FAT (File Allocation Table) of the disk, without actual
reformatting of all sectors.
If it cannot be executed, the “FD Fast Format failed. Full For-
mat?” message appears. Press ENTER/YES to proceed with
the Full Format, or EXIT/NO to abort.
1. Insert a 3.5” HD or DD/DS floppy disk into the disk
drive, and select this option to format it.
2.
Move the FD Fast Format option to the first line of the
display.
3. Press F2 (Format) to confirm formatting.
4.
The “Delete all data?” message appears in the display;
press ENTER to confirm, EXIT to abort.
FD Full Format
This is the traditional format command, where each sector of
the floppy disk is formatted. It is slower than the Fast Format
command, but more reliable.
See above for the procedure.
Hard disk
You must format when you want to delete its content.
Note: When a hard disk is not installed, the “Hard disk” item is
“ghosted” (i.e., not available).
1. Move the Hard disk option to the first line of the display.
2.
Press F2 (Format) to confirm formatting.
3. The “Delete all data?” message appears in the display;
press ENTER to confirm, EXIT to abort.
4.
The “Please press F4 to continue” message appears in
the display; press F4 to confirm, EXIT to abort.
Card
Use this command to format a Flash Card (the optional Korg
FMC-8MB). Please ask your Korg Authorized Reseller for
more information on available Flash Cards.
Note: When no card is present in the slot on the back of the
instrument, the “Card” item is “ghosted” (i.e., not available).
Note: When writing or formatting a card, the KD is “frozen”.
No other operation may be carried out until the formatting is
completed.
1.
Insert the card to be formatted.
1. Move the Card option to the first line of the display.

will appear. Press ENTER/YES to confirm, EXIT/NO to
abort.

message appears on top of the page. Wait until format-
ting is complete.
PAGE 6 - NEW DIR
The New Dir function lets you create a new folder in any of
the disks, or inside any generic folder. You can’t create or
open “.SET” folders, since these are reserved folders, to be
created with a Save operation.

page.
