Deleting song files on disk

Deleting song files on disk

The following function allows you to erase song files from the inserted floppy disk. This may be necessary to make room for new files (e.g. when the “Impssble” message appears). Be careful, though, to only delete files you are absolutely (positively) sure you will never need again. Once a file has been deleted, it is gone forever.

Note: As a rule, you should first make a backup copy of your disk on your computer. After all, files usually only become indispensable once they are no longer available…

(1)Insert the disk with the file you want to delete into the drive.

(2)Press the [Disk] button.

whether you really want to delete the file

 

 

(“Sure?”). The Yes message starts flashing.

Sure? =120 Yes

(7)Press [Enter] to delete the file, or [Exit] to abort the operation.

If you pressed [Enter], the display now shows the message “Deleting”. Once the data have been deleted, the “Complete” message briefly appears.

Be aware that song files you did not save with the KR103 have no fixed position. Deleting a file may therefore cause certain files (i.e. Standard MIDI Files you copied to the floppy disk using your computer) to jump to different locations – and therefore to change numbers.

(8)Press the [Exit] button to leave this function.

(4)Press [DISK] to select the Disk mode.

(5)Press the [Enter] button.

The “Sure?” message appears and the Yes mes- sage starts flashing.

(6)Press [Enter] to format the disk.

Note: If you do not want to format your floppy, press [Exit].

Note: By formatting a disk, you erase all files it contains.

It would be a good idea to first check what it contains (e.g. on your PC).

The value to the left of the “Formatng” message now counts from “1” to “100” while the disk icon flashes to indicate that the disk is being accessed. When the disk is formatted, the “Complete” message is briefly displayed.

(7) Press the [Exit] button to leave this function.
