Formatting media

You can format a floppy disk, the internal hard drive, external SCSI media, or CD-R/RW media.

Newly purchased media or media that has been used by another device cannot be immediately used by the TRI- TON STUDIO. In order to use such media on the TRITON STUDIO, you must first format it.

For the formatting procedure, refer to “Format” (☞PG p.170).

The internal hard drive has already been formatted when it is shipped from the factory.

It is not necessary to format a CD-R/RW disc that you will use to create an audio CD.

Media must be formatted by the TRITON STUDIO. It may not be possible to recognize media that was for- matted on a device other than the TRITON STUDIO.

How to save data

As an example, we will explain how to save the following data.

•Internal memory programs, combinations, global settings, user drum kits, user arpeggio patterns

•Songs, cue lists

•Multisamples and samples created in Sampling mode etc.

If you are saving this data on floppy disk, more than one disk may be necessary.

1Prepare the media on which you want to save the data.

If you want to save data on a floppy disk, insert the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive of the TRITON STUDIO.

For details on handling floppy disks, please be sure to read “Cautions when handling floppy disks” (☞p.62).

If you want to use the CDRW-1 option to save data on a CD-R/RW disc, insert a CD-R/RW disc into the drive.

For details on handling CD-R/RW discs, please be sure to read “Cautions when handling CD-R/RW discs.” If you will be using the disc to save data, it must be for- matted. (☞PG p.170, 295)

If you want to save data on external media such as a SCSI-connected hard disk, make sure that the exter- nal SCSI drive is connected. (☞PG p.298)

Format the media if necessary. (☞PG p.170)

If you are saving data on high-capacity media, we recommend that you create directories to organize the media into sections.
