3Insert another disk into the removable disk drive.

If you insert an uninitialized disk, the display will read “Init?” (is the SCSI ID A-G of the drive), asking whether you wish to initialize the disk. If

you wish to initialize, press and hold the [] key for approximately one second to initialize the disk. (Refer to “3. Initializing and formatting a drive”)

Exchanging disks on a removable disk drive which is not currently selected

If the currently selected song is on a drive other than the removable disk drive, use the following procedure to exchange disks.

Press the Eject key of the external removable disk drive to remove the disk, and insert a different disk. (For the location of the Eject key, refer to the owner’s manual for your removable disk drive.)

If the disk is unformatted, refer to “3. Initializing and formatting an external drive”.

5.Saving a song on a removable disk drive (Backup)

If you wish to save a song by copying it to an exter- nal hard disk drive or removable disk drive, refer to “Copying a song” (p.35).

This section will explain how to backup a song to a removable disk drive. For the procedure of backing up to a DAT recorder, refer to “1. Saving a song to a DAT recorder (Backup)” (p.43).

Korg will accept no responsibility for any loss of data which may result from failure to backup/ restore correctly.
