Saving data to SmartMedia (Save All)

2.Press the GLOBAL key. (It will light.)

3.Hold down the Shift key and press step key 16 (CARD) (key 16 will blink). The parameter display will indicate “CardMenu.”

4.The value display will indicate “Load.” Turn the dial until this indicates “Save,” and press key 16.

If you select “PSG” here, only the pattern, song, and global data will be saved.

6.Assign a name to the file that you are going to save. The parameter display will indicate “Rename,” and

the value display will show the current data name. Use the []/[ ] cursor keys to move the cursor left/right in the value display, and turn the dial to edit the character. When you are finished, press key 16.

The parameter display will ask “Sure?” and the value display will read “No.” Turn the dial to change this to “Yes” and press key 16 to execute the Save operation. While the data is being saved, the step keys will indicate the state of progress. If you decide to cancel, press the STOP/CANCEL key.

If an identically-named user file exists, the parameter display will indicate “OverWrt?” and the value display will indicate “No.” If you use the dial to select “Yes” and press key 16 to overwrite, the data originally on the SmartMedia will be lost. If you did not input a name, the file will be named “NO_NAME.”

You cannot save data on SmartMedia if a write- protect label is affixed to it. Remove the write protect label from the SmartMedia before you execute the Save operation.

Never turn off the power or remove the SmartMedia while saving or formatting. Doing so may render the SmartMedia unusable.

You will need approximately 2 megabytes of space to save one file. You cannot save data to a SmartMedia card that has less free space than this.
