ress LOAD from the Disk Stora
e Menu, you are
resented with the followin
o
tions:
•> SYS-EX — This lets you load from disk, and then transmit via MIDI, System Exclusive
messages from other devices. The MIDI Sys-Ex Storage procedure is covered in depth in the next
section. Here we will concern ourselves with Loading SQ-80 data.
-> ONE (SEQ) — This lets you Load a single Sequence from the disk into the Internal memory of
the SQ-80. When One Sequence is Loaded from disk, it is placed in the highest-numbered empty
location in the Sequencer Memory.
-> ALL (SEQ) — Allows you to Load the entire Sequencer Memory (all Songs and Sequences)
from Disk. This will erase, and replace the current contents of the Sequencer Memory, so make
sure all Sequencer data is saved before you wipe it out by loading in different data from disk.
-> BANK — To load a bank of 40 Programs from the disk to the Internal Memory . Each disk can
store 40 complete Program Banks. Again, Loading a Bank from disk will wipe out the current
Internal Programs, so make sure all Programs in memory are saved before proceeding.
-> PROGRAM — You can Load a single Program from disk. 128 individual Programs can be
stored per disk. When you Load a Single Program, it is placed on the Write Page, and from there
you can put it where you want in the Internal or Cartridge memory.
To Load One Sequence from disk:
−
> Insert the disk containing the Sequence data into the Disk Drive.
− Press the Storage button to go to the Storage Page.
− > Press DISK. The Disk Storage menu appears.
− > Press LOAD. The disk drive light goes on briefly and the Display says "READING DIREC-
TORY FROM DISK." Then the Disk Load Menu appears as shown above.
− > Press ONE. The following Display appears:
− > Use the Data Entry Slider
and the lip and Down Arrow
buttons to scroll through the
ten Sequencer/Sys-Ex Blocks
on the disk. For each of these
files you see. along the bottom
row of the Display:
• FILE NUMBER
(shown as FILE=
), the
• FILE NAME, the ten-character name which was
ven to the file when it was saved, and
• FILE TYPE, which tells you which of the three possible types of Sequencer/Sys-Ex
files it is — ONE (a single Sequence), ALL (the entire Sequencer Memory) or SYS (a System
Exclusive message from a remote MIDI Instrument). When you Load a file. its File Type must
match the type that you selected in the previous step — in this case, the type must be ONE.
