The Delete function allows you to erase the selected file, which may be necessary if the “Disk Full” message is displayed when you try to save a file to disk. Be care- ful to select the right file type using the fields in the left column before pressing [EXECUTE]. Also note that User Program and MIDI Sets contain 128 or 8 differ- ent settings, which means that you may lose a lot more than originally intended.

Format

[FUNCTION MENU]→ [Disk] field→ [Utility] field→ [Format]

This function allows you to format the disk in the selected drive. It would be a good idea to also format floppy disks formatted for MS-DOS® because that speeds up disk access. All other disks must be format- ted by the VA-76 to be usable. To this end, the VA-76 provides two formatting options. See “Formatting a disk” on page 132 for details.
