Though you could save the file with the
current default name (“SONG_001”, or
“USPR_000”), a proper name will help you
identify the file at all times. We therefore
suggest you take the time to specify a
meaningful name.
Note: If you select “SPACE” ([A/B] button), the dis-
play will insert a “_”. This is because MS-DOS® does
not allow you to use spaces.
(5) If necessary, use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial to
move the cursor to the next position.
(6) Repeat steps (4) and (5) to enter the
remaining characters.
(7) Press [EXECUTE] to save the file to disk.
The display now responds with the message
“Saving” as well as a flashing disk icon
( ). When the file is saved, the “Com-
plete” message appears.
If the message “DiskProt” appears, you for-
got to switch off the disk’s Write protection.
Press the EJECT button of the disk drive,
remove the floppy and close the tab, insert
the disk again and press [EXECUTE].
(8) Press [MUSICAL GAME], [TONE], [STYLE],
or [FUNCTION] to select another mode.
Possible error messages
Deleting files on disk
The Delete functions allow you to delete a file from the inserted floppy disk. This may be necessary to
make room for a new file (e.g. when the “Disk Full” message appears). Be careful, though, to only delete
files you are absolutely (positively) sure you will never need again. Once a file has been deleted, it is gone
forever.
Note: As a rule, you should first make a backup copy of
your disk (see p. 56). After all, files really only become
indispensable once they are no longer available…
DEL Sng: This allows you to delete a song file on
disk.
DEL UPr: Use this function to delete a User Pro-
gram file from disk. Be aware that by doing so,
you actually erase 64 User Program settings.
(1) Insert the disk with the file you want to
delete into the drive.
(2) Press [DISK] to select the Disk mode.
(3) Use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial to select “DEL
Sng” or “DEL UPr”.
(4) Wait until the VALUE message starts
flashing and use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial
to select the file you want to delete
(example: “USPR_005”).
(5) Press the [EXECUTE] button.
To be on the safe side, the EM-55 OR now
asks you whether you really want to delete
the file (“Sure?”).
(6) Press [EXECUTE] to delete the file, or
[DISK] to abort the operation.
If you pressed [EXECUTE], the display now
shows the message “Deleting”. Once the
data have been deleted, the “Complete”
message briefly appears.
(7) Press [MUSICAL GAME], [TONE], [STYLE],
or [FUNCTION] to select another mode.
Possible error messages
No Disk You forgot to insert a floppy disk
into the drive.
Disk Prot See above.
Disk Full The remaining disk capacity does
not allow to save your data to this
disk.
Disk Err The disk is probably damaged and
cannot be used.
Empty There is no Recorder song in the
internal memory. Consequently,
there is nothing to save.
Impssble The song in the EM-55 OR’s mem-
ory is bigger than the RAM actually
supports, and can therefore not be
saved to disk. (This is because the
EM-55 OR only loads specific
blocks for playback.)
OverWrt? The name you assigned to the data
already exists on the floppy disk
you inserted. If you press [EXE-
CUTE] to continue, the file on disk
will be overwritten (and the corre-
sponding data will be erased).
Either insert another floppy disk, or
press [DISK] and enter another
name for the data you want to
save.
No Disk You forgot to insert a floppy disk
into the drive.
Disk Prot You forgot to switch off the disk’s
Write protection. Press the EJECT
button of the disk drive, remove the
floppy and close the tab, insert the
disk again and press [EXECUTE].
Disk Err The disk is probably damaged and
cannot be used.
No Files The disk contains no files of the
selected type. Insert another disk.
