, you will see something like this screen:
Connected drives will be shown. The disk icons are:
Floppy disk
Removable hard disk
Fixed hard disk
CD-ROM
Your S6000 is now ready to use. Press any of the mode keys to continue.
You can check that the S6000 is receiving MIDI data by looking at the front panel - the selected
mode’s key will flash on and off whenever a note-on/off is received.
5 The exact time depends on how many drives you have attached and also the speed of those
drives. Of course, the more you have, the longer the scan will take and if you have, say, a particularly
slow old 4x CD-ROM attached, this will slow the boot up process further.
