sequence of
pop-up windows where you are asked to insert or remove, each time,
either the source disk or the destination disk. NOTA BENE: you cannot copy a file
between two disk having different capacity (DS/DD – DS/HD)
4-Ld Perf: load a memory. This command allows you to recall the settings saved
before in the instrument memory; the machine will recognize the selected file type,
going on loading only the PRF, PRB and SET files (see the previous table).
5-Quantiz: quantize a MIDI track. This command allows you to create a new
MIDI track, starting from the selected one, where all the notes played are placed on a
time grid having a resolution of your choice. In this way the MIDI sequence will have a
sharper time setting. The new MIDI track can be named using the
New Name field,
following the procedure already seen for the 2-Ren and 3-Copy commands; the
quantization value is indicated in beat fractions, ranging from 1/4 to 1/64, or with the
ternary fractions 1/8t, whose value is a third of a beat, and 1/64t, whose value is a
twenty-fourth of a beat. You can activate this command using the F6 button, and cancel
it using the F1 button.
6-More...: transition to the second command screen. This control allows you to
pass to the second group of commands related to the floppy disk, listed here below.
1-SvP Sgl: save the current performance. This command stores the current
performance (see Paragraph 8.1) on a floppy, in a PRF-type file, named by the user.
You have to use the F6 button to start the operation, or the F1 button to cancel it.
2-SvP Blk: save all the performances. All the performances, that means the 32
locations of the four memory banks (see Paragraph 8.1), in addition to the current
performance, are stored on the floppy disk. They are saved in a PRB-type file, named
by the user. This operation is started with the F6 button, while the F1 button is used to
cancel it.
3-Sv Set: save all the global settings. The global settings of the instrument, listed
in Paragraph 8.5, are saved on the floppy disk, in a SET-type file, named by the user.
You have to use the F6 button to start the operation, or the F1 button to cancel it.
4-Format: format the magnetic storage medium. This command is able to
prepare a blank floppy disk for its use with the instrument. You have to use this
command only for new supports, but you may execute it again even on used floppy
disks. In this case all the information on the disk will be lost; therefore, a
pop-up window
will ask you to confirm the operation before going on. The applied format depends on
the type of magnetic storage medium used: DS/DD floppy disks are automatically
formatted to 720 KBytes, while DS/HD floppy disks are automatically formatted to 1.44
MBytes.
6-Back: transition to the first command screen. If you use this option you will go
back to the first group of commands related to the floppy disk.
