Loading Data; Saving Data - Roland G-70 Owner's Manual

Loading data

The LOAD functions allow you to load Songs, Music
Styles, User Program Sets and MIDI Sets. Songs and
Styles can also be loaded via dedicated functions, which
are explained elsewhere (page 140, 86). The behavior of
those pages is identical to that of the LOAD function, so
we won't explain those operations again.
Note: Never remove the floppy disk or memory card while the
operation is in progress. Wait for the confirmation to appear
before returning to business as usual.
ILoad User Program Set
This is where you can load User Program "Sets". As
stated on page 111, such Sets (or Lists) do not con-
tain the registration data but only references to
them. Please bear in mind that a User Program Set
can only refer to User Programs that reside on the
same media as the List itself. The name of the
selected Set is displayed next to a folder icon on the
USER PROGRAM page that appears when you press
the [SET¥LIST] button.
All User Programs (as well as the songs they refer to)
need to be on-line. That explains why the [FLOPPY]
field is not available here.
Note: The G-70 cannot read User Programs (or Performance
Memories) of older Roland Arranger instruments.
(1) Press the [DISK&MEDIA] button.
(2) Press the [LOAD] field, followed by the
[USER¥PROGRAM¥SET] field.
(3) Select the source media: [INTERNAL¥MEMORY] or
[EXTERNAL¥MEMORY] (memory card).
(4) Press the field of the User Program Set file you
wish to load.
If the desired name is not displayed, use the scroll bar
to the right of the list (if available) to scroll further
down.
Note: A User Program Set also contains all GLOBAL parameters
(see the list in the "Parameter Reference" booklet). So be sure
to save the current settings before loading a User Program Set
(see "Save User Program Set").
(5) Press the [EXECUTE] field to load the data.
G-70 Music Workstation
ILoad MIDI Set
This is where you can load MIDI Set "Sets". i.e. groups
of 8 MIDI Sets that overwrite the contents of the
internal MIDI Set memories.
(1) Press the [DISK&MEDIA] button.
(2) Press the [LOAD] field, followed by the [MIDI¥SET]
field.
(3) Select the source media: [INTERNAL¥MEMORY],
[EXTERNAL¥MEMORY] (memory card) or [FLOPPY]
(disk).
(4) Press the field of the MIDI Set whose data you wish
to load.
If the desired name is not displayed, use the scroll bar
to the right of the list (if available) to scroll further
down.
Note: This function always replaces the contents of all 8 inter-
nal MIDI Set memories.
(5) Press the [EXECUTE] field to load the data.
Note: The G-70 does not support MIDI Sets of other Roland
instruments.

Saving data

Note: When saving files to floppy disk whose capacity is too
small for the data you wish to save, the G-70 will display a "DISK
ERROR" message. That does not necessarily mean that the disk is
damaged.
Important remark
If you select the media that contains the original ver-
sion of the file you are about to save, the following
message is displayed:
• Press the [YES] field to overwrite the old version.
—or—
• Press the [NO] field if you do not want to overwrite
this file and return to the SAVE page instead. Then,
enter a different name (or select a different media).
