Before You; Into The - Roland JV-50 Owner's Manual

Recording
Here's
how
to use
a
MIDI
keyboard
to
record a musical performance.
Before
you
begin recording
When
you record
on
the JV-50, the recorded data
is
stored directly
onto floppy
disk
(2DD
Type).
You
there-
fore
must prepare
a disk
before you begin
recording.
if
you
are using a ne>v disk
Before the JV-SO
can use a newly-purchased
disk,
the disk
must be
formatted
(initialized)
using the following procedure.
<5^
Set
the write protect tab of the
disk to
the
"WRITE"
position,
and
insert
it
into the
IV-50.
Be
sure not to insert the disk
backwards
or
upside
down.
"I^re
Vou Sure?"
appears
in
the display
after
the disk
is
inserted.
C!^
Press
REC, and
the disk
will
be
formatted.
"Mow
Work
ing"
appears
in
the display during formatting.
"Copipleted.
"
appears
when
the format
operation has been completed.
*
When
you format a
disk,
all
data that
was on
that disk will
be
lost.
Before you format
a disk,
make
sure
that
it
does
not contain important data you
wish
to
keep.
If
you
v^ish to
use other types of disks
Before the JV-50
can
use a disk formatted
by
another device
(i.e.,
a
device other than an
IBM
or
ATARI
computer), the
disk
must be formatted using the following procedure. This
procedure can
also
be used
to
erase
all
songs from
a
disk.
While
holding
CLEAR,
insert
the disk (with the protect tab
at
"WRITE")
into
the
disk
drive.
Be sure not
to insert
the disk
backwards
or upside
down,
''flre
Vou
Sure?''
appears
in
the display the
disk
is
inserted.
<^
Press
REC
and
the
disk will
be
formatted.
"How
Uor^k

appears
in
the display
during formatting.
'•Cor-ipleted.

appears
when
the format
operation has
been completed.
Selecting
the
Time Base
Before using the JV-50
to
record data that
will
be played back on
a
computer
or other sequencer,
set
the
Time
Base
to
match
that
of the device
which
will
be used
for
playing
back
the
data.
The Time
Base
(also
called "Resolution"
on some
devices) determines the timing resolution
at
which
data
will
be
recorded. This
will
be different for
each
device.
The
JV-50 allows
you
to select a
Time
Base
of 96/1 20/1
92/240
when
recording. Refer
to
the chart
on
the
below,
and
set the
Time
Base
to
match
that of the other
device you
will
be
using.
If
the
Time Base
is
incor-
rect, the
timing of notes
will
be
incorrect,
and
the
playback
will
not
sound
as expected.

When
shipped, the JV-50
is
set to
a
Time
Base of

*
Time Base
settings
have
effect
only
when
recording.
When
using the JV-SO
to
playback song
data that
was
recorded
on
other devices, the required Time Base
will
automatically
be
detected,
and
the
Time Base
settings
have no
effect.
*
A
song recorded by the JV-50
will
be
named
as
"Song_00000" and
the
file
will
be
named
as
"_00000.MID",
etc.
