Roland XP-80 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
The song you’ve just recorded will be lost if you turn the power off. If you wish to keep the
song, you must save it to disk.
Format a disk
New disks or disks that have been formatted for use on another device must be formatted by
the XP-80 before songs can be saved to them.
<Procedure>
Check the disk.
The XP-80 uses 2DD or 2HD 3.5 inch floppy disks. When you format a disk, all data existing on
that disk will be lost. If you will be using a disk that has been used with another device, make
sure that it does not contain data you wish to keep.
Set the protect tab of the disk to the Write position.
Insert the disk into the disk drive.
Press [DISK].
Press the numeric key [3], then [ENTER].
The Format display (DISK/Format) will appear.
Press [F6] (Execute).
At this time, the message “Format OK?” appears to prompt your confirmation.
Press [F5] (OK) to execute formatting.
When formatting is completed, the display will indicate “COMPLETE.”
If you wish to cancel formatting, press [F6] (Cancel).
Press [EXIT] to return to the Disk Menu display (DISK/Menu).
