P6-J3;
CHANGE
CARTRIDGE
FORMAT
The
DX5
uses the
same
external
RAMI
cartridges
for
storage
of
voice
and
per-
formance
memory
data.
The
CHANGE
CART.
FORMAT
function
electronically
"labels"
the
cartridge
for either
voice
or
performance
memory
storage,
so
that the
DX5
can recognize
the cartridge type
and
acces
it
properly.
Voice
data
cannot
be
stored
on
a cartridge
formatted
for
performance
memory, and
vice-versa.
When
this
function
is
used,
all
data
that
was
previously
in
the
cartridge
is
erased.
RAMI
cartridges are
initially
formatted
for
voice
memory,
so
a
new
cartridge
need
not
be formatted
if
voice
memory
is
to
be
stored (format
code
00).
To
use
this
function,
first
turn
the
cartridge's
memory
protect
switch
OFF, and
insert
it
into
the
CARTRIDGE A
slot
on
the
DX5
panel.
Next
call
the
CHANGE
CART.
FORMAT
function; the
lower
display
line will
then
read
"Format
cartridge(A).
00
to
??.
OK?".
The
cursor
will
be
over the
first
question mark.
The
new
cartridge
format
must
then
be
entered using the
character/number
keys.
The
format
for
voice
storage
is
00,
and
for
performance
storage
it
is
01
.
You
will
therefore
only
need
to
use
the
"0"
(EG SELECT.
EG/PITCH
EG) and
"1"
(OPERATOR
SELECT
1) keys.
Other
codes
can be
entered,
but the
resulting
format
will
be meaningless
to
the
DX5.
Once
the desired format
code
has
been
entered, press the
+1
/YES/ON
switch
to
go
on
to
the next
step.
The
DX5
will
ask
you
to
confirm your
intention to format
the
cartridge
with
"You
lose original data.
Are
you
sure?".
Press
+1
/YES/ON
to
go
on.
The
DX5
will
the
double-check
with
"New
format
number
is
01.
OK?"
(if
you had
selected the
performance
format-
-01).
If
you
are
sure,
then
press
+
1
/YES/ON
again
to
continue.
The
DX5
will
respond with
the
final
check
"Execute
formatting of cartridge-A.
OK?".
Press
+1
/YES/ON
to actually
execute
the format
command.
A
-1
/NO/OFF
response
to
any
of
the
above check prompts
immediately
exits
the
FUNCTION mode
without performing
the
format
command.
The
formatting function takes
a
few
seconds, so while
it
is
under
way
the
display
will
read "Formatting!".
Once
the operation has
been completed
the display
will
read
"Formatting completed!".
