Roland XV-5080 Saving All Data to Zip Disk Disk F2 Save, Formatting a Zip Disk/Hard Disk Format

Chapter 8 Saving Tones and Other Data You’ve Created

Saving All Data to Zip Disk ([DISK] - [F2 (SAVE)])

By connecting a SCSI-compatible Zip drive (optional ZIP- EXT-2S), you can take all of the Patch, Performance, Rhythm Set, System, and Favorites List settings that are stored in the internal memory, put them in one single file, name the file, then save it onto a Zip disk. Use Zip disks when you want to save data for which there is no more space available internally, or so the data you’ve created can be used on another XV-5080.

*The Sample folder is created and saved automatically if any wave data is used in the Patch or other data.

Formatting a Zip Disk/Hard Disk (Format)

This function initializes (formats) a Zip disk or a hard disk so that XV-5080 data can be saved onto it. Formatting is required whenever a new disk is used with the XV-5080.

*Please be aware that formatting will erase any data that may already be residing on the disk.

There are two types of formatting, “Quick” and “Full”.

With the Zip disk, first try formatting using “Quick.” If unable to format, then a message suggesting the “Full” format appears in the screen. Press [F6 (OK)] to continue with formatting; to cancel, press [EXIT].

When reformatting a disk that has already been formatted, carry out the format according to the following.

If the hard disk has not been partitioned

Use the Quick format.

If the hard disk has been partitioned into a number of separate partitions, and you are formatting a specified partition

Select the partition number, then use the Quick format.

If the hard disk has been partitioned into a number of

separate partitions, and you want to format the entire

hard disk

Use the Full format (partitions are eliminated).

*Storage devices that offer a write protect function may have the write protect settings selected. If you try formatting such devices using the “Quick” format, a message suggesting you use the “Full” format appears. Press [F6 (OK)] to continue with formatting; to cancel, press [EXIT].

*A disk that can be used by Windows 98/95/3.1 or MS-DOS can be used as is.

*A Mac OS format disk cannot be used.

*Partitioning of hard disks cannot be done with the XV-5080.
