Disk mode
In Disk mode you can use floppy disks or a connected
external SCSI device (if the separately sold EXB-SCSI is
installed) to save or load various types of data. You can
also make settings related to saving and loading func-
tionality.
For details on connecting an external SCSI device and
setting the ID etc., refer to the owner’s manual for the
separately sold EXB-SCSI option.
The pages of Disk mode
Types of media that can be used
Floppy disks
The TRITON can use MS-DOS format 3.5 inch 2HD or
2DD
floppy disks. The capacity of a floppy disk after
formatting will be 1.44 MB (18 sectors/track) for a 2HD
disk, or 720 KB (9 sectors/track) for a 2DD disk. (
☞ For
details on formatting, refer to p.142 of the Parameter
Guide.)
We recommend that you use 2HD floppy disks.
External SCSI storage media (when the sepa-
rately sold EXB-SCSI option is installed)
If the separately sold EXB-SCSI option is installed, the
TRITON can save data on external SCSI media (maxi-
mum 4 GB) such as a hard disk, Zip, Jaz, or MO drive.
When the EXB-SCSI option is installed, an external
SCSI device of up to 4 GB can be formatted.
This format cannot be executed for media that is
not 512 bytes/block (such as 640 MB MO disks
etc.).
Types of data that can be loaded
The various types of data that can be loaded from
external media (floppy disk etc.) are shown in the illus-
tration on the following page. For details on each type
of data, refer to p.132 in the Parameter Guide.
If the separately sold EXB-SCSI option is installed, data
can also be loaded from media such as a hard disk or
CD-ROM.
Data loading procedure
Loading Programs, Combinations, Drum kits,
User arpeggio patterns, and Global settings
(loading a .PCG file)
As an example, we will explain how to load a .PCG
file. A .PCG file contains programs, combinations,
drum kits, user arpeggio patterns, and global settings
(refer to the lower diagram on the following page).
You will select a .PCG file for loading when you wish
to re-load a set of programs and combinations etc. that
you created and saved by the “Save All” or “Save
PCG” command, or when you wish to restore the pre-
loaded data (factory settings) from the included floppy
disk. You will normally use this method to load a .PCG
file from a floppy disk that was included with the
separately sold EXB-PCM series option or EXB-
MOSS option
.
Before loading programs, combinations, songs,
drum kits, and user arpeggio patterns, you must
turn off memory protect in Global mode (
☞ p.37).
1 If you will be loading data from a floppy disk,
insert the floppy disk into the TRITON’s floppy
disk drive.
Please be sure to read “Cautions when handling
floppy disks” for details on handling floppy disks
(
☞ p.95).
(If the separately sold EXB-SCSI option is
installed) Before loading from external SCSI
media such as a hard disk, refer to the EXB-SCSI
owner’s manual, and make sure that the external
SCSI drive is connected correctly and that the
media contains the file that you wish to load.
Load Load the selected file or directory into
internal memory.
Save Save data from internal memory to exter-
nal media such as a disk.
Utility Rename, copy, or delete a disk or file, cre-
ate new directories, and set the date and
time.
