Tip: See Master/Global, Disk Utilities
and the SCSI section of this manual for
important information about hard disk
drives.
Tip: Use the "Mount Drives" utility
(Master/Global, Disk Utilities, 1) whenever
an external SCSI device does not appear in
the list of available devices.
To Format a Hard Disk Drive
Like a floppy disk, a hard disk must also be formatted before it can be
used to store information.
1. Activate the Master/Global module.
2. Select 7. Disk Utilities, 7. Format Disk (7/6).
3. Select the hard disk using the data entry control and press
ENTER. Your hard disk should appear in the list of available drives.
If the hard disk is not listed, use Disk Utilities, 1 to Mount Drive.
After Mounting, the hard disk should appear in the list of available
drives. If it does not appear, turn everything Off, then read the SCSI
chapter in this manual for possible solutions.
4. Consider the consequences of your action. Formatting the hard
disk will erase everything on that disk. The display will inquire if
you want to do this.
5. Press Yes to continue the formatting procedure or No to cancel
the operation and return to the Module Identifier. Formatting a
hard disk can take quite some time, depending on the size of the
disk. Take a break.
Saving Data to a Hard Disk
The hard disk drive is used to make permanent backups of your work.
The capacity of the floppy drive is too small to make efficient backups,
therefore only the hard disk (or its equivalent) should be used for sound
storage.
To Save a Bank to Disk:
1. Press the Save button. Position the cursor under the drive
number in line two. Select the disk drive using the data entry
control. Press ENTER.
2. Use the Data entry control to select an Empty Bank. Empty
banks are indicated as such, along with their bank number on line
three. Saving to a non-empty bank erases the bank that was previ-
ously saved there.
3. Press ENTER to save the bank. The display will revert to the preset
selection screen.
Loading a Bank from a Hard Disk
1. Press the Load button. The display says: Load Bank, and shows the
name and number of the current bank. Use the data entry control to
scroll through the available hard disk banks. Stop when you find the
bank you want, then press ENTER.
• An alternate method of loading a hard disk bank is to press
Load, then type in the number of the bank using the numeric
keypad. The display will show the current preset number and name.
The cursor will flash underneath the first digit. Start playing the
keyboard and adjust the master volume data entry control for a
comfortable listening level.
