Reference Making Global and Other Important Settings - Function Copying from Floppy Disk to Floppy Disk (see below) Formatting a Disk (see below) Formatting a disk completely erases all data on the disk. Make sure that the disk you're formatting does not contain important data! Turns the Song Auto Open function on or off. When this is set to "ON," the TYROS automatically calls up the first disk song when a floppy disk is inserted to the floppy disk drive. The optionally installed hard disk unit will go into a "sleep" mode after a specified time of inactivity, both to maximize the lifetime of the hard disk and to minimize unnecessary mechanical noise. This parameter determines the sleep time. • Copying cannot be done between a 2DD disk and 2HD disk. When copying, make sure both disks are of the same type. • Commercially available music data is subject to protection by copyright laws. Copying commercially available data is strictly prohibited, except for your own personal use. Some music software is purposely copy-protected and cannot be copied. G Copying from Floppy Disk to Floppy Disk (FLOPPY DISK TO DISK COPY) This function copies all the data from one disk to another, letting you back up all your important data before editing. Because only one floppy disk can be inserted to the floppy disk drive, this operation copies the contents of the source disk to internal memory of the TYROS, then copies it to the destination disk, as shown below. 1 Prepare the backup disk (destination disk), and insert the floppy disk to be backed up (source disk) into the floppy disk drive. Internal memory 2 Press the [FLOPPY DISK TO DISK COPY] LCD button on the [FUNCTION] → UTILITY → DISK display. Copy Copy The copy operation from the source disk to internal memory is started. When completed, the display prompts you to change disks. 3 Remove the source disk from the floppy disk drive and insert the destination disk to the drive. The copy operation from internal memory to the destination disk continues. Please note that it may be necessary for the disk data to be copied in parts if the quantity of data is large. In this case, you may need repeat the disk exchange several times by following the on-screen messages. When the operation is finished, a message appears to indicate all data has been properly Source Disk Destination Disk copied. G Formatting a disk (FLOPPY DISK FORMAT, HARD DISK FORMAT) Setting up commercially available blank floppy disks (3.5 inch, 2HD/2DD type) or an optionally installed hard disk unit (page 162) for use with the TYROS is called formatting. This function is also useful for quickly deleting unnecessary files from an already formatted disk. Be careful when using this operation, since it automatically deletes all data on the disk. After formatting, the capacity of a 2HD disk is 1.44 MB, and that of a 2DD disk is 720 KB. When you wish to format a floppy disk, press the [FLOPPY DISK FORMAT] LCD button on the [FUNCTION] → UTILITY → DISK display after inserting a floppy disk into the floppy disk drive, then follow the on-screen instructions. When you wish to format a hard disk, press the [HARD DISK FORMAT] LCD button on the [FUNCTION] → UTILITY → DISK display after installing a hard disk drive, then follow the on-screen instructions. • The TYROS is capable of formatting an installed hard disk, creating a single partition only; multiple partitions cannot be created. However, if the installed hard disk has been pre-formatted into several partitions on another instrument such as the PSR-9000 or 9000Pro, the TYROS can access up to four partitions of the hard disk. 157 TYROS Owner's Manual 155
