Restoring The Factory Settings; System Software Update Procedure - Roland RS-70 Service Notes

May 2003
RESTORING THE FACTORY
SETTINGS
If there is important data you've created that's stored in the RS-70's internal
memory, you must note that all such data will be discarded when a Factory
Reset is performed. If you want to keep the existing data, save it on a disk
(Saving the entire user memory).
Be sure not to turn off the power while Factory Reset is being performed.
If the power is turned off or interrupted while data is being written to
memory, the internal data may become corrupted, and you may not be able to
turn the power back on.

Press [PATCH] button so it is lit and you are in Patch mode.

SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPDATE
PROCEDURE
Overview
• The RS-70 uses 32 Mbit flash memory to store its control program.
• The flash memory updater (control program) is stored in the updater
block of the flash memory.
• Normally, the data for the update is provided in the form of binary data
or SMF data divided into two or more parts.
If using binary data to perform the update, the program version can be
updated by loading the binary data from the floppy disk drive of the RS-70.
If using SMF data to perform the update, the program version can be updated
by connecting a sequencer (e.g., MC-80) capable of playing back SMF data to
the RS-70, and loading the data into the RS-70.
After you update the system, you will need to perform the Factory Reset
procedure.
Since this will reset the user data, you will need to back up the user data
beforehand.
Details are given in "Saving and loading data."
