16.0 UTILITIES
16.1 DISK OPERATIONS
The maXim is fitted with a 3.5 inch double sided, high density, (1.44 MB), disk drive (optional on S
& M models). This is the same type of disk used with IBM compatible computers.
When you save or load a show from disk, you copy the entire contents of the maXim's memory.
This includes all Scenes, Chases, Stacks, and the Patch.
SAVE SHOW TO DISK
To save a show to disk place a formatted disk in the disk drive then press and hold [function], tap
[F/A] (disk), release [function].
The display asks “Save show to disk?”. Press [yes].
By default, the maXim offers a name of “SHOW1”. To accept the show number, press [ok]. To
change the show number, rotate the edit wheel. Up to 9 show numbers may be used.
To save the show number, press [ok]. To confirm, press [yes].
NOTE: Saving a show takes a few moments. During this time normal operation of the maXim is not
possible.
When the save operation is complete the display confirms “Show # saved to disk.”
Press [ok].
LOAD SHOW FROM DISK
When you load a show from disk, you replace the entire contents of the maXim's memory with the
show data from the disk. This includes all Scenes, Chases, Stacks, and the Patch.
WARNING: Once a load from disk is initiated, the current contents of the maXim’s memory
will be erased and cannot be recovered.
To load a show from disk, place the disk in the disk drive then press and hold [function], tap [F/A]
(disk), release [function].
The display asks “Save show to disk?”. Press [no].
The display asks “Load show from disk?”. Press [yes].
The display shows a show number. Rotate the Edit wheel to change the show number.
To load the show, press [ok].
The display asks “Load “Show#” – are you sure?”.
Press [yes].
NOTE: Loading a show takes a few moments. During this time normal operation of the maXim is not
possible.
When the load operation is complete the display confirms “Show # loaded.”
Press [ok].
16.2 RESET
The maXim provides two different types of reset function. SYSTEM reset and TOTAL reset.
SYSTEM RESET
In the unlikely event that the maXim fails to respond to your buttonstrokes or fader movements, the
operating system may be reset so that the software may initialise and recommence normal
operation. See also “POWER ON RESET” below. Performing a system reset will not affect any of
the recorded memory or settings, except that the maXim resumes operation in PRESET mode with
the patch bypassed.
To perform a SYSTEM RESET,
Press and hold [function], tap [F/A] (reset), release [function].
The display asks “Do SYSTEM RESET?”.
Press [yes].
The display asks “SYSTEM RESET. Are you sure?”.
Press [yes].
