Preset Storage Prompts and Error Messages
• "Sorry! Install a RAM card first." — You will get this message if you attempt to
copy ALL TO CARD when there is no card installed, or when a ROM (Read
Only Memory) card is installed.
• "Sorry! Install a Pset card first." — You will get this message if you attempt to
copy ALL FROM CARD when the card installed is unformatted or contains
only sound data, or there is no card installed.
• "Erase Sound data on Card B?" — This prompt occurs whenever you attempt to
store preset data to a card which already contains sounds in Card B. Answer
Yes to erase the sounds stored in Card B and use that memory for preset
storage. If you answer No, the'SQ-R will use the remaining space (MC-64
only) for preset storage.
For example, with an MC-32, if both Card A and Card B contain sounds, and
you get you this message, answering Yes will erase the sounds stored in Card
B and replace them with preset data. Answering No will effectively cancel the
command.
With an MC-64, if both Card A and Card B contain sounds, and you get you
this message, answering Yes will erase the sounds stored in Card B and
allocate a full 48k bytes for preset storage (see Configuration 3 on p. 8-2).
Answering No will leave the Card B sounds intact and allocate the remaining
32k of card memory for preset storage.
• "Sorry, write to card failed." — This message will appear whenever the SQ-R
fails to verify data that it has written to the card. It could mean that the card is a
ROM card and cannot be written. It might also mean that the card is write-
protected or possibly defective.
• "Sorry, need more space on card." — This prompt means that the amount of
data in the preset memory exceeds the available memory in the card. If you get
this message, you could erase some presets, erase any sound data already
stored on the card (by removing the battery), get a larger card, or use a different
form of storage, such as MIDI Sys-Ex, described later in this section.
• "WARNING! Battery low. See manual." — If this message appears when a
RAM card is inserted into the card slot, it means that the battery in the card is
getting low and should be replaced as soon as possible. To replace the battery,
you can use essentially the same procedure outlined earlier in this section under
"Installing the Battery in a RAM Card." Also, if you replace the battery while
the card is plugged into the SQ-R, with the SQ-R power on, you will not lose
the data stored on the card. This will not harm the card or the SQ-R. (Make
sure, though, that you do not turn off the SQ-l's power while the card is
installed with the battery removed, or any data on the card will be lost.)
