Protecting The Internal Memory (Protect); Memory Card-Related Settings (Card) - Roland XV-88 Owner's Manual

Chapter 10. Memory Settings (Utility Mode)
Protecting the Internal
Memory (PROTECT)
This feature helps prevent the accidental overwriting of user
memory to ensure that Performance, Patch or Rhythm Set
data is not accidentally erased.
fig.10-29
Internal (Internal Write Protect)
The Internal Write Protect setting prevents the Write
operation from accidentally overwriting user memory
locations. When this is set to ON, the data cannot be
rewritten. Data can be rewritten when it is at OFF. When the
XV-88's power is turned on, this setting is automatically
turned on. You will need to turn it off before writing data to
the user memory. It is also possible to turn this setting off
during the Write procedure.
Be aware that if Exclusive Protect is set to OFF, User
memory can be overwritten by System Exclusive
messages received from an external MIDI device, even if
Internal Write Protect is set to ON. To prevent
inadvertent overwriting of User memory, it is
recommended that both Internal Write Protect and
Exclusive Protect be set to ON.
Exclusive (Exclusive Protect)
The Exclusive Protect setting prevents System Exclusive
messages received from an external MIDI device from
rewriting user memory settings. When this setting is ON, the
data cannot be rewritten.

Memory Card-Related
Settings (CARD)
The XV-88 can use memory cards (SmartMedia).
Use memory cards when you wish to save data for which
there is no more room in the internal USER group, or so that
the data can be loaded into another XV-88.
When you select "1. CARD" in the UTIL 2 group, the
following CARD page will appear. Select the function you
wish to execute.

Before Using a Memory Card
• The XV-88 can use either the 3.3 or 5 V memory cards
(SmartMedia).
• SmartMedia can be purchased at computer stores and
vendors handling digital cameras.
• Except while performing the File Copy operation (p.
189), be sure to turn off the power before inserting or
removing a card. If a memory card is inserted when the
power is turned on, the data in the memory card may be
destroyed, or the memory card may become unusable.
• Insert memory cards completely and securely, with the
side showing the gold contacts facing upward.
• Do not touch the contacts of the memory card, or allow
them to become soiled.
• Never remove the memory card or turn off the power
while any operation involving the memory card (such as
loading or saving data, or formatting) is in process.
Doing so can destroy the data on the memory card and/
or render the memory card itself unusable.
• If you affix the write protect seal to the write protect area
of the memory card, you will not be able to format the
card or save data to it. If you wish to format the card or
save data to it, do so without the seal affixed. For details
on the write protect seal, refer to the instructions
included with your memory card.
• If you attempt to format a card, or save data to it when
the write protect seal is affixed, the "Memory Card Write
Protected" message will appear.
