DATADISK FUNCTIONS
21
RCV PROGRAM
CHANGE
Sometimes it is desirable to have a file send initiated during a se-
quence or performance to change a program or sample. Even
though
DATADISK
will receive MIDI system exclusive data on any
channel, a single channel must be selected to receive a MIDI pro-
gram change command. When such a command is received,
DATADISK
will initiate a file send with the program number (#0 to
52) selecting the file to be sent.
FORMAT DISK FUNCTION
Although
DATADISK
can use any 3 1/2" standard double sided,
double density disk, it must first be prepared for use in
DATADISK
.
This is called
Formatting
. The Format function is used to either
format a blank disk or erase an already formatted one. Since for-
matting erases a disk,
DATADISK
will ask "ARE YOU SURE?" be-
fore continuing the format procedure. Pressing the
DO/YES
button
will continue the operation and
DATADISK
will display a running
update as to how the process is going.
CAUTION
:
Formatting will erase all information previously stored
on a disk forever!!!!!
