Note: If the Style on disk does not fit into the
EM-55 OR’s RAM memory, the “Err – Too Big!” error
message is displayed, and the Style will not be
loaded.
(7) Press [START/STOP] to start playback of
the style on disk.
Note: The selection of the Style Disk memory will
be written to a User Program (see p. 49). This, how-
ever refers to the memory address rather than its
contents. Next time you recall such a User Program,
the EM-55 OR will therefore use the last Style you
loaded after switching it on. If you haven’t yet
loaded a User Style, the EM-55 OR selects a ROM
Style.
Note: You can also assign the Music Style in the
Style Disk memory to a Disk Link memory (see
below).
Assigning other Music Styles to the Disk Link memories
The EM-55 OR provides 64 memories (8 banks x 8 numbers) that refer to Music Styles on the supplied or
any other floppy disk. The Disk Link memories can be accessed via group b (press [A/B] and then enter
the bank and number using the [1]~[8] buttons).
Though these memories behave exactly like the
memories of group A (that provides access to
the internal Music Styles), the
Disk Link
memories only “work” if the disk in
question has been inserted into the
drive
. Thanks to the EM-55 OR’s powerful soft-
ware, loading a Disk Link Style is as swift as
working with internal Styles. To assign a Music
Style on floppy disk to a Disk Link memory, pro-
ceed as follows:
(1) Start by loading the desired style using
the STYLE DISK function.
See above. If the EM-55 OR’s RAM memory
already contains the desired Style, you just
need to press [VARIATION/STYLE DISK].
In any case, you need to insert a floppy disk
into the drive.
(2) Press and hold the [VARIATION/STYLE
DISK] button.
The message line of the display should now
look as follows:
As you see, group b is already selected. All
you need to do now is…
(3) Use the numeric keypad to select the
desired Music Style bank (1~8).
(4) Use the numeric keypad to select a Music
Style memory of that bank (x1~x8).
As soon as you specify the number, the dis-
play indicates Complete.
Whenever you select that memory (“B32”,
for example), the EM-55 OR will load the
assigned Style from the floppy disk into its
STYLE DISK memory.
Note: If you forgot to insert the floppy disk (either
while assigning or using the Disk Link memories), an
error message will be displayed.
Note: If you change the name of a Style file on
floppy disk (on your PC, for example), the Disk Link
function no longer finds that Style.
