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!!!!!
NAME FILE FUNCTION
The Name function allows the user to select a file and rename it
with a total of 8 characters which may be selected from the upper
case alphabet A to Z, 0 to 9, 15 miscellaneous characters, or a
space. There are 2 pages which are:
RENAME XXXXXX
YYYYYY ZZZZZZZZ
This page is used to select a file to be renamed, where XXXXXX is
the manufacturers name, YYYYYY is the product name, and
ZZZZZZZZ is the name of the file to change. Files are selected by
pressing the SCROLL UP or SCROLL DOWN buttons. Files are
viewed alphabetically. Pressing the DO/YES button selects the next
page.
SELECT
CHARACTER
This page allows the user to edit each character in the file name.
Editing is accomplished by positioning the cursor with the SCROLL
buttons under the desired character to be edited, finding the desired
character to change to on the keypad, and pressing the selected
