Creating a Duplicate Disk

This function creates a complete copy of all data recorded on a disk and puts it on another disk (Backup). It is a good idea to make backup copies of disks containing important data to prevent data loss even if one of the disks should be damaged.

•Backup operation uses internal memory. If you wish to keep the song data currently in internal memory, save it to disk before executing the backup operation.

•It is not possible to make a backup copy of the master disk of Standard MIDI Files releases, etc. from Roland.

•It is not possible to create a backup copy of a 2DD disk on a 2HD disk, and vice versa.

1.Use the Fantom to format the disk that you want to use as a backup disk (p. 191).

2.Access the Disk Utility screen (p. 187).

3.Press [6 (Tools)].

The Select Command window appears.

4.Press or to select “Backup Floppy Disk,” and then press [8 (Select)].

5.Insert the backup-source disk into the disk drive, and press [8 (Execute)].

The display will ask “Internal Song will be erased. OK?”

6.If you are sure that you want to erase the internal song to perform backup, press [7 (OK)].

To cancel the backup operation, press [8 (Cancel)].

The display will indicate “Reading Source Disk...”, and the data stored on the backup disk will be loaded into internal memory.

7.When the display indicates “Eject Source Disk.”, remove the backup-source disk. Then insert the backup-destination disk you prepared in step 1, and press [8 (Execute)].

8.When the display shows “Eject Destination Disk” it’s time to remove the backup source disk and insert the backup destination disk, and press [8 (Execute)].

9.When the display once again indicates “Eject Source Disk.”, exchange the backup-source and backup-destination disks, and press [8 (Execute)].

10.Repeat steps 8 and 9.
