PAGE 3 - COPY

In this page you can copy single files (i.e., midifiles of Jukebox files), whole folders (generic or “.SET” folders), or a generic folder’s content. You can copy within the same disk, or from a disk to a different one.

To preserve the data structure integrity, during Copy opera- tions you can’t open a “.SET” folder, and copy one of its files. You can only open generic folders.

Press DISK and use the MENU or PAGE buttons to reach this page.

Copying a whole folder or folder’s content

You can copy a folder (generic or “.SET”) into a different disk or folder. If selecting the <current dir> item, you can copy the current folder’s content, without copying the folder itself. If copying a whole folder, a new folder with the same name is created at the target location.

Note: During the Copy procedure, you can’t open a “.SET” folder. You can, anyway, open any generic folder.

1.Insert the source disk into the disk drive.

2.Press F1 to scan the disk and show the file list.

3.Move the folder that you want to copy to the first line of the display. If it is contained in another folder, use the F3 (Open) button to open it. Press F4 (Close) to go back to the previous hierarchic level.

To copy just the current folder’s content, move the <cur- rent dir> item to the first line of the display.

4.Once the item to copy is on the first line, press F2 (Copy) to confirm the item selection. You are prompted to insert a target disk. The window’s header changes from “Copy from” to “Copy to”.

7.Once the target is selected, press F2 (Copy). The “Over- write?” message appears:

Overwrite on Copy?

Enter/Yes - Exit/No

Press ENTER to confirm overwriting, EXIT to avoid it. When you decide to overwrite, the data you are copying will replace the existing data on the target. For example, if the same midifile exists on the target folder, it will be overwritten. If a USER bank exists, it will be overwrit- ten.

Data that doesn’t exist on the source folder is left unchanged. For example, if the USER03 Style bank exists on the target folder, but not in the source folder, it is left untouched after copying the other banks.

When you decide not to overwrite, data existing on the target folder is left unchanged, therefore are not copied.

8.The “Are you sure?” message appears. Press ENTER to confirm, EXIT to abort the copy.

Copying a single file

You can copy a single file from a generic folder to a different folder. The file must reside on the root (the main/highest folder in the disk hierarchy) or into a generic folder. You can’t copy single files from a “.SET” folder.

1.Insert the source disk into the disk drive.

2.Press F1 to scan the disk and show the file list.

3.Move the folder, containing the file you wish to copy, to the first line of the display. If it is contained in another folder, use the F3 (Open) button to open it. Press F4 (Close) to go back to the previous hierarchic level.

4.Press F3 (Open) to open the folder containing the file to copy.

5.Move the file to copy to the first line of the display.

6.Once the file is on the first line, press F2 (Copy) to con- firm its selection. You are prompted to insert a target disk. The window’s header changes from “Copy from” to “Copy to”.
