Tour 1:
The Basics
Welcome to the Guided Tours! If you have just met the ESI for the first
time, we suggest that you follow these tours until you complete the
Guided Tours section. This will get you up and running on the ESI in
the fastest possible time. Also, you’ll learn some tricks in this section
that will come in handy as you play and become more familiar with the
ESI. This tour covers how to:
• Load and Save to Floppy Disks
• Select Different Presets within the Bank
• Tune the ESI to Other Instruments
• Transpose the Keyboard
Loading a Bank from Floppy Disks
1. Press the Load button. Position the cursor under the drive number
in line two. Select the floppy drive using the Data Entry Control.
2. Insert the first floppy disk of the selected bank and press
ENTER. The display will say: Loading Bank. Remember that loading
in a new bank erases the currently loaded bank, so always think
twice before pressing ENTER to load the bank. (Since ESI banks can
be quite large, it may require several floppy disks to hold an entire
bank. Multiple floppy disks must be inserted in the proper order.
That's why it's a good idea to label them numerically.)
Play the sounds from the newly loaded disks.
Saving Data to a Floppy Disk
The floppy disk drive can be used to make permanent backups of your
work. This can be a time consuming process, especially with large bank
sizes and is best handled using a hard disk. If you do not have a hard
disk installed in, or connected to your ESI, you can back up your work
to floppies. In preparation, you should try to have at least five ESI
formatted, double-sided, high-density, 3.5" diskettes on hand.
To Format a Floppy Disk:
Before a floppy disk can be used by the ESI, it must be formatted using
the Format Disk function.
1. Activate the Master/Global module.
2. Select Disk Utilities (7), Format Disk (6).
3. Select the floppy using the data entry control and press ENTER.
Position the cursor under the drive number in line two. The ESI will
normally default to the floppy drive.
4. Insert a floppy disk into the drive and press Yes to format.
Formatting a disk will erase all information on the disk.
Once the format is complete, the ESI asks if you want to format another
disk.
Continue to format at least four more disks
5. The display asks, “Format Another?” Insert the next disk and press
Yes to continue formatting. After formatting the last disk, press No .
✱
Tip: ESI banks usually do not fit on a
single floppy disk. To load multiple disk
banks, insert the first disk, then replace it
with the next disk when prompted by the ESI.
