Roland EM-30 - Recorder Navigation and Playback; Fast Forward, Rewind, and Reset

The display now looks as follows:
You could save this song with the current default
name (SONG_000). A proper name, though, will help
you identify the song file at all times. We therefore
suggest you take the time to specify a meaningful
name.
The "S" and the “E” alternately flash in the display to
indicate that you can enter a character for this posi-
tion.
8. Use the MUSIC STYLE/USER PROGRAM buttons
for selecting the character you wish to assign to this
position.
You may have to press the button in guestion several
times to select the desired character. The following
characters are available:
@iz3456789
ARCDEFGHIJKLMAH
OPG@RSTUUNRY2
Note: The cursor jumps automatically to the next position
whenever you press a different button than the one you
pressed before. For characters that are assigned to the same
button, you need to move the cursor using the MENU AW
buttons.
Note: If you select “SPACE” ([CUSTOM/HOLD] button),
the display will insert a “_” This because MS-DOS does
not allow you to use spaces.
9. If necessary, use the MENU AY buttons to move
the cursor to the next position.
10. Repeat steps (8) and (9) to enter the remaining
characters.
11. Press [ENTER] to save the file to disk.
The display now responds with the message >a i rra
as well as a flashing disk icon ( ). When the
song is saved, the Came let. message appears.
If the message Di sk Frot- appears, you forgot to
switch off the disk's Write protection. Press the EJECT
button of the disk drive, remove the floppy and close
the tab. Then, insert the disk again and press
[ENTER].
12. Press [CANCEL] several times or use the MENU
AY buttons to select another mode.
