1.Prepare 5 disks. Disks don’t need to be formatted, because Pa50 will format them for you during the Backup procedure.

2.Select the Backup Data command.

3.The “Are you sure?” message appears. Press ENTER to continue, EXIT to abort.

4.The “Insert backup disk #1 and press Enter” message appears. Insert a disk and press ENTER

5.When the Pa50 asks for it, insert a new disk into the floppy disk drive. Write the disk number on each disk’s label.

Insert 1.4MB FD #1 and press Enter

If a disk is not formatted or empty, Pa50 asks if you want to format it:

Disk not empty!

Sh+Enter to format

Keep SHIFT pressed, and press ENTER to format the disk. Pa50 first tries a Fast Format, then makes a Full Format if the former is not possible.

Restore Data

This command restores the backup of the internal factory data, executed with the “Backup Data” command.

Note: Should your Factory Data disks become corrupt, you can download the data from www.korgpa.com, or ask your local KORG dealer.

Warning: Don’t play on the keyboard while restoring data, and stay in the Disk mode. Wait until the “Wait” message disap- pears, and the WRITE/DISK IN USE LED turns off.

1.Select this command.

2.The “Are you sure?” message appears. Press ENTER to continue, EXIT to abort.

3.The “Insert backup disk #1 and press Enter” message appears. Insert the first backup disk, and press ENTER.

4.Wait until the first backup disk has been read. A message will appear: “Insert backup disk #2 and press Enter”. Insert the second backup disk and press ENTER.

5.Repeat the same procedure with backup disks #3, #4 and #5. When the backup disk #5 has been loaded, the backup data has been restored into the internal memory. Note: After the last disk has been loaded, a “Some files missing” message may appear. This may refer to some User

data, so it is not a problem. Press EXIT to exit the message.

6.When the Wait message has disappeared, and the WRITE/DISK IN USE LED has turned off, turn the instrument off, then on again.

Note: At the end of a Restore Data operation, the “Missing some files” error message may appear. This is due to the lack of Per- formance banks 11-20 on older versions of the operating system of Pa80, whose disk you are probably reading. However, this is not a problem. Press EXIT to close the message window.

This page includes the Protect functions.

Disk:Utilities2

Global Protect:Off

Fact.Style Protect:On

Global Protect

When loading a “.SET” file, this parameter (if On) protects the Global from being reprogrammed by the loaded data. All Global parameters are therefore left unchanged.

When loading a single “.GLB” file, this parameter is ignored, and the Global is overwritten by the loaded data.

Note: This parameter is saved in memory, but not on disk.

Factory Style Protect

When On, this parameter protects the Factory Styles (from the “8 BEAT/16 BEAT 1” to the “TRADITIONAL” bank) from being overwritten when loading data from disk. Fur- thermore, you can’t access these banks when saving data.

When Off, you can load or save User Styles even into the Fac- tory Styles banks (from “8 BEAT/16 BEAT 1” to “TRADI- TIONAL”). This way, you can personalize your Factory Style banks.

Please note that the Save All procedure always saves only the USER Style banks.

Note: This parameter is automatically set to On when turning the instrument off.

Note: Should your accidentally delete some Factory Data, reload the Backup data, contact your KORG dealer or service center, or download the data from www.korgpa.com.
