Roland XP-80 - Save Your New Song; Format a Disk

The song you’ve just recorded will be lost if you turn the power off. If you wish to keep the
song, you must save it to disk.
Format a disk
New disks or disks that have been formatted for use on another device must be formatted by
the XP-80 before songs can be saved to them.
<Procedure>
❶ Check the disk.
The XP-80 uses 2DD or 2HD 3.5 inch floppy disks. When you format a disk, all data existing on
that disk will be lost. If you will be using a disk that has been used with another device, make
sure that it does not contain data you wish to keep.
❷ Set the protect tab of the disk to the Write position.
❸ Insert the disk into the disk drive.
❹ Press [DISK].
❺ Press the numeric key [3], then [ENTER].
The Format display (DISK/Format) will appear.
❻ Press [F6] (Execute).
At this time, the message “Format OK?” appears to prompt your confirmation.
❼ Press [F5] (OK) to execute formatting.
When formatting is completed, the display will indicate “COMPLETE.”
✳ If you wish to cancel formatting, press [F6] (Cancel).
❽ Press [EXIT] to return to the Disk Menu display (DISK/Menu).
