Deleting Files On Disk - Roland Interactive Arranger EXR-46 OR Owner's Manual

Note: Each time you press another numeric button (for entering
characters), the cursor advances automatically to the next posi-
tion.
(4) Use the numeric buttons to assign a character to that
position.
The available characters are:
_ ! # $ % & ' - @ ^ '
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I J K L M
N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
(5) Repeat steps (3) and (4) to assign the desired characters to
the remaining positions.
Though you could save the file with the current default
name ("SONG_001", or "USPR_000"), a proper name
will help you identify the file at all times. We therefore sug-
gest you take the time to specify a meaningful name.
Note: If you select "SPACE" ([0] button), the display will insert a
"_". That's because MS-DOS® does not allow you to use spaces.
(6) After entering the name, press the [YES/+] button to save
the data to floppy disk.
YES
The display now counts down ("Saving").
Saving
At the end of the saving operation, the display briefly shows
the "Complete" message.
Note: If the message "Protect" appears, 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 [YES÷+].
Note: Press [NO/–] if you do not want to save the selected file
after all.
(7) Press another "big" button in the DATA ENTRY section to
leave this function.
Possible error messages
No Disk You forgot to insert a floppy disk into the drive.
Protect See above.
Disk Full The remaining disk capacity does not allow to
save your data to this disk.
NoFormat The floppy disk is either not formatted or uses
a format the EXR-46 OR doesn't recognize.
Press [YES÷+] to format it now (careful: this will
erase all data on disk).
Disk Err The disk is probably damaged and cannot be
used.
OverWrt? The name you assigned to the data already
exists on the floppy disk you inserted. If you
press [YES÷+] to continue, the file on disk will
be overwritten (and the corresponding data
will be erased). Either insert another floppy
disk, or press [DISK] and enter another name for
the data you want to save.

Deleting files on disk

The Delete functions allow you to erase files from the inserted
floppy disk. This may be necessary to make room for new files
(e.g. when the "Disk Full" message appears). Be careful, though,
to only delete files you are absolutely (positively) sure you will
never need again. Once a file has been deleted, it is gone for-
ever.
Note: As a rule, you should first make a backup copy of your disk on
your computer. After all, most files really only become indispensable
once they are no longer available...
DEL Upr: Use this function to delete a User Program Set
from disk. Be aware that by doing so, you actually erase 200
User Program settings.
DEL Sng: This allows you to delete a song file on disk.
(1) Insert the disk with the file you want to delete into the
drive.
(2) Press [DISK] to select the Disk mode.
(3) Use FAMILY [√][®] to select "DEL Upr" or "DEL Sng".
(4) Use SELECT [√][®] to select the file you wish to delete
(example: "USPR_005"). The Yes message starts flash-
ing.
(5) Press the [YES÷+] button.
To be on the safe side, the EXR-46 OR now asks you whether
you really want to delete the file ("Sure?").
(6) Press [YES÷+] to delete the file, or [NO÷–] to abort the oper-
ation.
If you pressed [YES÷+], the display now shows the message
"Deleting". Once the data have been deleted, the
"Complete" message briefly appears.
(7) Press another "big" button in the DATA ENTRY section to
leave this function.
