Creating a New Folder
As your TYROS data library grows, you’ll want to organize it in various folders. This operation lets you create new folders on
the User, Floppy Disk and optional Hard Disk drives. The basic procedure is described below; for a specific example (using
Voices), see page 30 in the Quick Guide.
1Call up the page (path) of the Open/Save display for which you wish to
create a new folder.
2Press the [NEW] LCD button (lower [7] button) below the LCD display to
call up the pop-up window for entering the folder name.
3Enter the name of the new folder. See page 70 for instructions on entering
names.
4Press the [OK] LCD button (upper [7] button) to actually create the new
folder.
Selecting (Opening) a Folder/File
You can select a folder/file in two ways — by using the LCD letter buttons or by using the [DATA ENTRY] dial.
• On the User drive, folder directo-
ries can contain up to four levels.
The maximum total number of
files and folders which can be
stored is 3,200, but this may differ
depending on the length of the file
names.
On the User/FD (Floppy Disk)/HD
(optionally installed Hard Disk),
the maximum number of files
which can be stored in a folder will
be 250.
