Making a copy of a disk – 4 Backup

This function creates a complete copy of all data recorded on

a disk and puts it on another disk. 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.

❶ Make sure that the Disk Menu display (DISK) is up.

❷ Press [F6] (Menu) to select Menu 1, then [F4] (Backup)

to call up the Backup display (DISK/Backup).

This display can also be called up by moving the cur-

sor to “4 Backup” and pressing [ENTER] on the Disk

Menu display (DISK), or pressing the numeric key [4]

then [ENTER].

❸ To avoid accidentally writing to the backup source

disk, set the protect tab to protect, and insert it into the

disk drive.

❹ Press [F6] (Execute).

A window will ask “Clear Internal Song for BACKUP. OK?”

❺ If you are sure that you want to erase the internal song

to perform backup, press [F5] (OK).

Data from the backup source disk will be loaded into inter-

nal memory.

To cancel the backup operation, press [F6] (Cancel).

❻ After a while, the display will show “Insert Destination

Disk.” When this display appears, remove the backup

source disk and insert the backup destination disk.

Use a disk formatted on the XP-80 as the backup destination

disk and set protect tab to write before inserting it into the

disk drive.

❼ Press [F6] (Execute) to make a backup copy.

Data will be written to the backup destination disk.

✳ If you insert a disk which has not been formatted for

the XP-80 into the disk drive, a window asks

“Unformatted disk. Format?” When formatting the

disk, press [F5] (OK). If you decide not to format the

disk, press [F6] (Cancel).

✳ If you insert a 2DD disk when the backup source disk

is 2HD, or vice versa, the display will show “Different

formatted disk.” Insert a disk of the same type and

press [ENTER].

❽ After a while, the display will show “Insert Source

Disk.” When this display appears, remove the backup

destination disk and insert the backup source disk into

the disk drive.

When the disk is exchanged, data will continue to be loaded

into internal memory.

❾ When the display shows “Insert Destination Disk” it’s

time to remove the backup source disk and insert the

backup destination disk.

When the disk is exchanged, data will continue to be saved

on disk.

❿ Repeat steps 8 and 9.

The frequency of repeating steps depends on the amount of

data on disk.

When “Backup Complete” is displayed, backup has

been completed.

Checking files recorded on disk –

5 Verify

If a disk is scratched, slightly bent or damaged in some way,

song data or sound data files on it will no longer be read-

able, and functions such as quick play and chain play will be

interrupted. To avoid such problems, this function checks all

the files on disk to see whether they can be read correctly.

❶ Make sure that the Disk Menu display (DISK) is up.

❷ Press [F6] (Menu) to select Menu 1, then [F5] (Verify)

to call up the Verify display (DISK/Verify).

This display can also be called up by moving the cur-

sor to “5 Verify” and pressing [ENTER] on the Disk

Menu display (DISK), or pressing the numeric key [5]

then [ENTER].

❸ Press [F6] (Execute) to verify the disk.

If the disk is verified normal, the display will indicate

“COMPLETE.” If a problem is found, the display will indi-

cate “Disk Read/Write Error.”

Changing the name of disk –

6 Volume (Change volume label)

This function changes the volume label that was assigned

when the disk was formatted.

✳ It is not possible to modify the volume label of the

master disks of the Standard MIDI Files releases, etc.

from Roland.
