Save Song as Standard MIDI File

In the 0–2: Save page menu command “Save to Std MIDI File (Save Song as Standard MIDI File),” an “Exclusive” check box has been added to the dialog box. This allows you to save system exclusive events and universal exclusive events included in the song data.

2Use “Drive Select” to select the media to be optimized.

3Select “Optimize Medium” to open the dialog box.

4Press the OK button to execute the “Optimize Medium” command. If you decide not to execute, press the Cancel button.

5When optimization has been completed, the dialog box will show the amount of continuous free space that was created.

Exclusive

[Off, On]

Off (unchecked): System exclusive events and universal exclusive events within the song data will not be saved. (The same operation as in previous versions.)

On (checked): System exclusive events and universal exclu- sive events within the song data will be saved as exclusive messages.

Add the contents of “Exclusive” to the explanation in “Parameter Guide” 0–2: Save - 0–2F: Save to Std MIDI File (Save Song as Standard MIDI File (PG p.167).

Optimize Medium

The “Optimize Medium” page menu command has been added to the 0–3: Utility page.

0–3J

0–3J: Optimize Medium

“Optimize Medium” creates large continuous areas of free space on the selected MS-DOS format media so that you can create files that can be accessed efficiently.

If “Buffer overrun error occurred” or “Buffer underrun error occurred” messages are frequently displayed when you sample to the hard drive or play WAVE files from the hard drive, or when you record/playback an audio track in Sequencer mode, you may be able to solve the problem by executing this command and then using the “Copy” com- mand to copy the corresponding file.

As a safeguard against accidental data loss while exe- cuting this command, we recommend that you back up important data on an external SCSI device etc. before- hand.

1Make sure that the media that you want to Optimize is in place.

6Press the OK button to close the dialog box.

In some cases the command may not be executed because there is insufficient free space on the media.

Depending on the number and size of the files that need to be moved, it may take several hours for this command to be executed. If you want to abort the com- mand, press the Abort button in the dialog box.

If a volume of media on which you executed “Optimize Media” is then used by a device other than the TRITON STUDIO, the benefit of having executed this command may be lost, so that when it is once again used with the TRITON STUDIO the media cannot be accessed effi- ciently. In this case, execute “Optimize Medium” once again.

When executing “Optimize Medium,” it may not be possible to create the appropriate amount of free space if the path name of the file/directory being checked is too long (in general, greater than 136 characters). In this case, it will not be possible to access the media effi- ciently.

Add the contents of “Optimize Media” to the “Parameter Guide” 0–3: Utility page menu commands (PG p.169).
