o Save the Current Program to disk:

The Display shows the six-lette
name of the Program. Note that
you cannot change the name
of the Program at this time —
whatever name it has in the

the disk. To rename a soun
you must use the
Write Page.
The data will be saved to the lowest-numbered empty Single-Program block on the disk. The
lower-left portion of the Display (FILE=

the data will occupy on the disk.

UPDATE OLD FILE — Updating an Existing File
Let's say you have Loaded a group of Sequences into the SQ-80 from disk. You have worked on the
Sequences for several hours, recording new parts, editing this, changing that. Now you want to save the
updated data to disk, replacing the original file with the new data.
In this case you would press UPDATE OLD FILE after pressing
SAVE on the Disk Storage menu. The
procedure for updating a file is essentially the same for all types of
SQ-80 data.
To Save an Updated Version of an Existing File:
•> Insert the disk which contains the original file into the Disk Drive.
If you are updating One Program or One Sequence, make sure that Program or Sequence is
selected.
Press the
Storage button, then press DISK
•> Press
SAVE. The SQ-80 then gives you two options: 1) SAVE NEW FILE or 2) UPDATE OLD
FILE.
•> Press
UPDATE OLD FILE. The disk drive light goes on briefly and the Display says
"READING DIRECTORY FROM DISK." Then the Disk Save Menu appears as shown earlier,
but with the word "UPDATE" in the upper left corner of the Display.
•> Press
ONE (SEQ), ALL (SEQ), BANK or PROGRAM, depending on the type of file you are
saving. The Display then shows you the files of that type that are on the disk.
•> Use the Data Entry Slider and :he Up and Down Arrow buttons to find the file you want to write
over. Make sure you have chosen the same file you originally started with.
