10. THE LISTS
The term List refers to a prearranged sequence of songs which the instrument will load
and play automatically one after the other. This sequence can be programmed by the user
and saved in the form of a LIST file (extension .LST).
The lists created by the RD-80e consist of steps, each of which contains the name of the
file to be performed and not the number shown by the display: this means that even if
songs are added to the disk later, the List will still be performed correctly.
Each sequence of songs can contain up to 64 steps; in other words, it is able to concatenate
up to 64 songs.
10.1 CREATING A LIST
A List may contain songs saved on just one floppy disk; insert the disk containing the
songs with which you wish to create a List in the drive.
From the Song mode, in Stop condition, keep the [LIST] key pressed for a few moments.
The [LIST] LED will start to flash, while the [SONG] LED will be constantly on (since you
have to select songs to be placed in the steps) and the display will show:
iindicating that the first step in the List is empty.
You can use the [REW] and [FF] buttons to select the number of the song you wish to
place in the first step. After making the selection, press [ENTER]: the system will save the
step and add another one after it, showing the step empty video page (i.e. the one just
entered).
To insert a step between two existing steps, select the one after which you wish to add
another and press [ENTER]: the system will insert the step, the steps after it will be moved
forward one place and the display will show the step empty video page (i.e. the one just
entered).
If [ESC] is pressed the step displayed will be deleted and the following steps will be shifted
back one place. If steps are left empty, these steps will be ignored during performance of
the List
Repeat this procedure until the entire List has been programmed.
