Disk P1
481–3G: Format
Formats the selected floppy disk or hard disk (or other SCSI device).
If the hard disk is being used by the TRINITY series for the first time, the hard
disk must first be formatted to establish a filer partition and a sound partition.
When formatting is executed, all data that was previously on that hard disk
will be erased. Before formatting a disk, make sure that it does not contain
data you wish to keep.
The size of the filer partition cannot be modified during use. If you wish to
change the size, you must once again execute either Format or Wipe. Be
aware that this will erase all data of the hard disk.
Pressing the [COMPARE] key after executing this command will not undo
the command.
Do not install a hard disk that was formatted on the TRINITY series into
another computer. Korg cannot guarantee the operation of such a disk.
1–3H: Wipe
Erases all data existing on the selected floppy disk or hard disk.
The size of the filer partition cannot be modified during use. If you wish to
change the size, you must once again execute either Format or Wipe. Be
aware that this will erase all data of the hard disk.
1In the tab 3 page, select the floppy disk or hard disk.
2When you choose Format, the dialog box at
right will appear. (The dialog box pictured
here is for formatting a hard disk. For a
floppy disk, the Filer Size setting will not
appear.)
3Use the text edit button to assign a volume
label to the hard disk.
4Specify the size of the partition used for saving .SNG files and .PCG files, etc.
This can be set in a range of 0–540 Mbytes.
The remaining space of the hard disk will be used for recording sound.
If you are using only a single hard disk to perform hard disk recording,
you must specify a filer partition larger than 0 in order to create an area
where .SNG files and .PCG files etc. can be saved. If you are using two or
more hard disks, a filer partition must be created on at least one of the
disks.
5Press the OK button, and the display will ask “Are you sure?”. Press OK
once again to execute the Format command.
Formatting a hard disk will require a certain amount of time depending on
the size of the hard disk. (e.g., formatting a 540 Mbyte hard disk requires
approximately 5 minutes.)

2When you choose Wipe, the dialog box at

disk, the Filer Size setting will not appear.)
If you wish to change the volume label, use
the text edit button.
