Disk edit mode

The Disk edit mode is the place where you can manage files. This
edit environment overlaps the current operating mode (Style
Play, Song Play, Sequencer, Sound Edit).

Storage devices and internal memory

During a Disk operation, files are usually exchanged between a
storage device and the internal memory. The Pa1X can use three
different mass storage device types:
• Floppy Disk
• Hard Disk (optional on the Pa1X with speakers)
• CD (optional; only available for reading on version 1.0)
A device can be selected by using the Device pop-up menu,
available on the lower left corner of most Disk pages:
Device pop-
up menu
Two internal memory areas are available: the SSD and RAM.
• The SSD (Solid State Disk) is the non-volatile memory,
where Styles, Sounds, Performance, STSs and User Multi-
samples are contained. This area is not deleted when turn-
ing the instrument off.
• The RAM (Random Access Memory) is the volatile mem-
ory, where Songs and User PCM Sample are contained.
This area is deleted when the instrument is turned off.
Selecting and deselecting files
While a file list is shown in the display, you can select any item by
touching it. The selected item is highlighted.
You can deselect all items in any of the following ways:
• Touch an empty area in the file list (if available).
• Press the Device pop-up icon, and select the current device
again.
