Working with text files (TXT Import)
Here is how to use a text file with the lyrics of a song
you want to sing without synchronizing the text. This
function can also be used to display messages and
announcements on an external screen. You can use the
PAGE TURNER function to “turn pages” at set intervals
(see below). Here, the function only applies to the
selected text file, however: it doesn’t open subsequent
text files.
■Preparation
(1) Use a word processing program to prepare the text
file you want to use.
Line wrapping is taken care of by the E-80, so your
lines and paragraphs can be as long as you like. Be
sure to insert returns wherever you want to start a
new paragraph.
(2) Save it as a .txt file.
If you prepare your text file on a Mac® computer,
save it as “Text Only (MS-DOS)” (or “MS-DOS Text”)
from Microsoft® Word, etc. Otherwise, accents,
umlauts, etc., won’t be interpreted as they should.
You can import files with a size up to 50KB.
Note: Bold type, italics, underlining, etc., are not saved, nor
can they be read by the E-80.
(3) Copy the file(s) to a memory card the E-80 can
read, a floppy disk or the E-80’s internal memory
(via USB, see page 234).
If you select a card or the internal memory as desti-
nation, be sure to copy the file to the “Text” folder.
■Playback
(4) Insert the floppy disk or card into the E-80’s disk
drive or PCMCIA slot.
(5) Press the [LYRICS&SCORE] button.
(6) Press the [VIEWER] field if it doesn’t “light”.
The display changes to:
(7) Press the [OPTIONS] field.
(8) Proceed as follows:
• You may first want to try one of the COLOR PRESET
fields ([1]~[6]). If none of the factory settings is to
your liking (or if you want to make minor correc-
tions)…
• …press one of the knobs (red, green or blue) in the
TEXT column and use the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial to
increase or decrease the value.
The changes are reflected in the small display next to
the COLOR PRESET button icons.
The system used here corresponds to the RGB color
mixing system, whereby the value “255” for all three
knobs yields the color white (while “0” for all three
corresponds to black). If you have ever worked with a
graphic program, this concept may be familiar to you.
• Press one of the knobs (red, green or blue) in the
BACKGROUND column and use the [DATA÷ENTRY]
dial to increase or decrease the value.
(9) Press the “PAGE TURNER” display field and use the
[DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/[INC] buttons to set
the speed at which the pages should be turned.
The setting range is 10~600 seconds. To switch off
the automatic function, select “Off”. This setting can
also be changed after loading the text file.
You can use the DATA ENTRY [ß][†] buttons to turn
pages. The [√][®] buttons allow you to advance or go
back line by line. You can also turn pages with an
optional footswitch (page 78) or FC-7 (page 76).
(10) Press the VIDEO OUT SOURCE [VIEWER] button icon
if you want the text to be displayed on the exter-
nal screen.
Let us now select the text file to be displayed:
(11) Press the [TXT¥IMPORT] field.
