Possible error messages
No Disk—You forgot to insert a floppy disk into the
drive.
Disk Prot—You forgot to switch off the disk's Write
protection. Press the EJECT button of the disk drive,
remove the floppy and close the tab, insert the disk
again and press [ENTER]. See also page 34.
Disk Err—The disk is probably damaged and cannot
be used.
No Files—The disk contains no files of the selected
type. Insert another disk.
DiskCopy (Copying the contents of an
entire disk)
This function allows you to make backup copies of
important disks.
WARNING: The Disk Copy function uses the RAM
memory and erases the EM-50's Recorder song and its
Disk User memory. Before using Disk Copy, save your
song to disk if you haven't already done so (see page
57).
Disk Copy copies all files of the Source disk (see
below) to the Destinat disk.
1. Press MENU AV to place the mode arrow (<4)
next to the COPY entry.
2. Press the [ENTER] button.
EM-50/30
The EM-50 now tells you something you already
know but may tend to forget at times:
Inerorer
use
of cora
infringes
Coruright'!
For
personal
back-ur
use mils!
Sond and
User Stule
will
be erazed.
Copying Songs from commercially available Standard
MIDI Files is OK as long as you keep the copy (as safe-
guard against possible disk errors). Under no circum-
stances, however, may you give copies of copyright-
protected material to your friends.
Also, the display tells you that the Disk Copy function
needs the available RAM memory — i.e. the memory
set aside for the Recorder song and for the Disk User
Style. Be aware that really activating the Disk Copy
function (which you haven't done so far), erases the
song in the internal memory. Save it to disk before
proceeding.
The above message is followed by the Sure * ques-
tion.
3, If you are sure you wish to make a backup copy of
a disk, press [ENTER].
The display now asks you to insert the original (or
Source) disk into the drive.
Before doing so, you must write-protect it, otherwise
the display tells you to do so (Hà Ffr), In that
case, remove the disk from the drive, set its Write Pro-
tect tab to the PROTECT position ("to open the little
window"), and insert the disk into the drive again.
4. Insert the original (Source) disk into the drive.
The display now tells you that your EM-50 is readin
the first part of the data to be copied (Read
xx").
Depending on the number of files on disk, you may
encounter this message several times. Note also the
indication of the disk type (in our example, the
Source disk is a 2HD floppy):
When the first part is loaded, the display switches to
the Destinat message.
The message asks you to insert a blank disk into the
disk drive. That disk will contain a copy of the origi-
nal data. Be sure to use a disk of the same type. lf the
"Source" disk is a 2DD type, use a blank 2DD disk,
otherwise use a blank 2HD disk. Failure to use the
right disk type will result in the Iric.amrat. being
displayed.
5. Remove the Source disk from the drive and insert
the Destination disk.
If the Destination disk isn't formatted, you are given
the opportunity to do so now ("Format?").
