8.1.1 FORMAT

Each freshly-purchased floppy disk must be formatted before use for writing songs. The
Genius formats floppy disks in MS-DOS® format, meaning that these disks can also be used
with Personal Computers or Sequencers.
The internal flash memory can also be formatted, to delete all the files memorised in it.
WARNING!
Bear in mind that when a floppy disk or the internal memory is formatted, all the data
memorised will be lost irretrievably. When the internal memory is formatted, the data
relating to the system software will not however be deleted.
