Using the floppy disk drive

Creating a duplicate disk (BACKUP)

This function creates a complete copy of all data recorded on a disk
and puts it on another disk (Backup). It is a good idea to make
backup copies of disks containing important data to prevent data
loss in case one of the disks should get damaged.

* The backup operation deletes data for the pattern currently being

edited. Save the data 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.

1.

Press [WRITE] while holding down [SHIFT].

2.
