(2) Press the [OPTIONS] field.
(3) Now do one of the following:
■Rename
This function allows you to change (or supply) infor-
mation for the selected song.
• Press the [SONG¥NAME], [ARTIST], [GENRE] or
[FILE¥NAME] field and enter the desired characters.
You can also rename all four of them.
• The [A/a] field allows you to switch between upper-
case and lowercase characters.
Note: If you select a song on floppy disk, only the SONG NAME
and FILE NAME can be edited.
• Press the [EXECUTE] field. The “Operation Successful”
message appears to confirm this operation.
■Delete
This function allows you to delete the selected song
from the internal memory area, memory card or
floppy disk. You should use this as sparsely as possi-
ble. Once a song is gone, there is indeed no way to
restore it.
• Press the [DELETE] field. Deleting a song cannot be
undone, which is why the following question is now
displayed:
[YES] deletes the song file.
[NO] leaves the file intact and takes you back to the
initial Song Finder page with the song list.
[Back] leaves the file intact and takes you back to the
SONG LIST page.
Note: If a song you delete here is assigned to a Play List, an
error message (“File not found”) is displayed during playback of
that Play List and playback stops at that step. So be careful.
■P&S Input
You can also add a musical phrase to your songs if
you wish to take advantage of the Play & Search
facility. See page 42 for how to use that facility in a
real-life situation. Here’s how to program the phrase:
Note: This information cannot be entered for files that reside
on a floppy disk. Be sure to copy your song to the internal
memory or a memory card (see p. 161) and to edit that copy.
(1) On the SONG OPTIONS page, press the [P&S¥INPUT]
field.
(2) Play the notes of the main theme (the one you’ll
most likely play when using Play & Search for
locating this song).
The key and rhythm are of little importance (you
must get the intervals right, though!). The boxes will
display a quarter note for every note you played. Five
“note boxes” thus mean that you played five notes.
(3) If you make a mistake, proceed as follows to cor-
rect it:
Press the [DELETE¥LAST¥NOTE] field if you only wish
to correct the last note you entered.
Press [∫¥RESET] to erase all notes you have played so
far. Then play the notes again.
(4) Press the [EXECUTE] field to save this information
(i.e. the selected song file) in the internal memory
or on memory card.
Songs for which there is Play & Search information
are flagged with a note symbol ( ) to the left of their
names.
■Copy
This function allows you to copy the selected song to
another memory area.
Be sure to select a song before pressing the
[OPTIONS] field on the SONG LIST page. Also bear in
mind that the COPY page only lists songs that match
the last search criteria you used for the SONG
FINDER.
On the other hand, if you only need to copy certain
songs on memory card or in the internal memory,
using the FINDER would be a good idea: it helps you
to avoid too many presses of the PAGE [ø] or [˚] field.
