CARD TOOLS offers tools for managing the Compact Flash card. The card can be format-
ted and files copied, erased, renamed etc.
FILE MANAGER is where files on the Compact Flash card are handled. It exists as
an alternative to handling files and folders with a computer. When entering the FILE
MANAGER mode, sequencer playback will be stopped and the project synced to
card.
Navigate in the file manager using the [ARROW] keys. At the top of the screen a
folder path is visible.
Two workspaces are available, acting as user-definable short cuts to different loca-
tions on the Compact Flash card. To assign a location to workspace 1, navigate to
the location you want to assign the workspace to and press [TRACK] keys 1-4. The
same procedure applies for assigning a location workspace 2, but [TRACK] keys 5-
8 are used instead. Once workspaces have been assigned, jump to workspace 1 by
pressing [TRACK] keys 1-4 and to workspace 2 by pressing [TRACK] keys 5-8.
The files belonging to the project are located in the folder with the same name as the
project. Each file of the project exists in two variants, one with the file extention .strd
and one with the extention .work. Files with the extention .strd are the files that previ-
ously have been saved by performing a project SAVE command. The files with the
.work extention contain the active project.
At the bottom of the screen the available commands are listed. The commands are
chosen with the [TRACK PARAMETER] keys. Press [FUNCTION] to gain access to
more commands.
MK DIR will create a folder. The NAMING menu will appear where the folder can be
named.
RENAME will rename a file or folder. The NAMING menu will appear where the file
or folder can be renamed.
DELETE will delete a file or folder.
COPY will copy a file or folder.
