Formatting SmartMedia
Here’s how to format a SmartMedia card so that it
can be used by the EMX-1.
Formatting will erase the entire contents of the
SmartMedia.
1. Insert the SmartMedia into the SmartMedia slot.
2. Press the GLOBAL key (it will light).
3. Hold down the SHIFT key and press step key 13
(CARD). (Key 13 will blink.) The parameter dis-
play will read “CardMenu.”
4. Turn the dial to make the value display read “For-
mat,” and press step key 13.
5. The parameter display will ask “Sure?” Turn the
dial until the value display reads “Yes,” and then
press key 13 to execute formatting. If you decide to
cancel, press the STOP/CANCEL key.
While the card is being formatted, the step keys will in-
dicate the state of progress.
6. When formatting is complete, or if you selected
“No” and pressed key 13, you will return to the
display prior to formatting. (Key 13 will go dark.)
SmartMedia that was formatted on a device other
than the EMX-1 may not be recognized correctly.
In this case, re-format it on the EMX-1.
Saving data to SmartMedia
(Save All)
Here’s how you can save all of the EMX-1’s pattern data,
song data, and global data onto SmartMedia.
1. Insert the SmartMedia into the SmartMedia slot.
2. Press the GLOBAL key. (It will light.)
3. Hold down the Shift key and press step key 13
(CARD) (key 13 will blink). The parameter display
will indicate “CardMenu.”
4. The value display will indicate “Load.” Turn the
dial until this indicates “SaveAll,” and press key
13.
5. Assign a name to the file that you are going to save.
The parameter display will indicate “Rename,” and
the value display will show the current data name.
Use the [
]/[ ] cursor keys to move the cursor
left/right in the value display, and turn the dial to
edit the character. When you are finished, press key
13.
The parameter display will ask “Sure?” and the
value display will read “No.” Turn the dial to
change this to “Yes” and press key 13 to execute
the Save operation. While the data is being saved,
the step keys will indicate the state of progress. If
you decide to cancel, press the STOP/CANCEL key.
If an identically-named user file already exists on
the SmartMedia, the parameter display will ask
“OverWrt?” and the value display will read “No.” If
you turn the dial to select “Yes” and press key 13 to
overwrite the data, the data that was originally on
the SmartMedia will be lost, so please use cau-
tion.
If a file or folder of the same name as the file you
renamed already exists on the SmartMedia, the
parameter display will indicate “FileName” and the
value display will indicate “Error.” Either use your
computer to erase the file or folder from the
SmartMedia, or change the name of the file you
are attempting to save, and try again.
You cannot save data on SmartMedia if a write-
protect label is affixed to it. Remove the write pro-
tect label from the SmartMedia before you execute
the Save operation.
Never turn off the power or remove the SmartMedia
while saving or formatting. Doing so may render
the SmartMedia unusable.
You will need approximately 2 megabytes of space
to save one file. You cannot save data to a
SmartMedia card that has less free space than this.
