Saving files to disk
The E-200 provides the following Save functions:
SAVE Upr: Use this function to save the contents of the
internal User Program memories (all 10 of them) to a floppy
disk.
Note: The User Program set data also contain the TONE button
assignments (page 28).
SAVE Sng: This allows you to save the song in the
USERSONG memory to a floppy disk. A song saved to disk
becomes a Standard MIDI File.
(1) Insert a disk into the drive.
Every floppy contains a square tab that allows you to “close”
a little window. With the tab in that position, you can save
data to the disk. Do not forget to write-enable the disk by
closing this little window prior to inserting the floppy disk.
(2) Press [DISK] and use SELECT [√][®] to select “SAVE Upr”
or “SAVE Sng”.
(3) If necessary, use the SELECT [√][®] buttons to move the
cursor to another character position (that character
flashes).
Note: Each time you press another numeric button (for entering
characters), the cursor advances automatically to the next posi-
tion.
(4) Use the numeric buttons to assign a character to that
position.
The available characters are as shown above.
(5) Repeat steps (3) and (4) to assign the desired characters to
the remaining positions.
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 sug-
gest you take the time to specify a meaningful name.
Note: If you select “SPACE” ([0] button), the display will insert a
“_”. That’s because MS-DOS® does not allow you to use spaces.
(6) After entering the name, press the [YES/+] button to save
the data to floppy disk.
The display now looks as follows:
At the end of the saving operation, the display briefly shows
the “Complete” message.
Note: If the message “Protect” appears, 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 [YES÷+].
Note: Press [NO/–] if you do not want to save the selected file
after all.
(7) Press another “big” button in the DATA ENTRY section to
leave this function.
Possible error messages
No Disk You forgot to insert a floppy disk into the drive.
Protect See above.
Disk Full The remaining disk capacity does not allow to
save your data to this disk.
NoFormat The floppy disk is either not formatted or uses
a format the E-200 doesn’t recognize. Press
[YES÷+] to format it now (careful: this will erase
all data on disk).
Disk Err The disk is probably damaged and cannot be
used.
OverWrt? The name you assigned to the data already
exists on the floppy disk you inserted. If you
press [YES÷+] to continue, the file on disk will
be overwritten (and the corresponding data
will be erased). Either insert another floppy
disk, or press [DISK] and enter another name for
the data you want to save.
