Format
The Format function lets you initialize a device. Pa600 uses a
PC-compliant device format:
Warning:
When formatting a device, all data it contains is lost for-
ever!
Volume Label
Use this parameter to assign a name to an external device to be
formatted.
Note:
You cannot rename the label (name) of the internal volume.
When formatting the internal disk, the label cannot be edited.
Touch the
(Text Edit) button to open the Text Edit window.
Enter the name, then touch OK to confirm and close the Text
Edit window.
Note:
When changing the name to a device containing Standard
MIDI Files or MP3 files used in the SongBook, the links are bro-
ken. We suggest to give the device the same name it had before for-
matting. In case you changed the name, please use SongBook
Editor (freely available on
) to edit the links.
Warning:
It is not possibile to change the label (name) of the inter-
nal disk when Pa600 is connected to a PC through the USB port. If
you try to do it, the original name is restored by Pa600.
Execute button
Touch this button, after setting all the options in this page, to
execute the Format command.
Format procedure
Here is how to format a device.
1.
If formatting an external device, connect the device to the
USB Host port.
2.
Choose the device to be formatted by using the Device
pop-up menu in the lower-left corner of the display.
3.
Touch the Execute button in the display to confirm format-
ting.
4.
The “If you confirm, all data in the media will be lost. Are
you sure?” message appears in the display. Touch Yes to
confirm, or No to cancel.
Note:
When formatting the hard disk or an external USB
device, an additional warning appears, to avoid accidental
data loss.
Utility
This page includes a set of backup and restore utilities.
Full Resources Backup
This command allows you to make a full backup of all the inter-
nal data on a target device. A “.BKP” file will be created.
Hint:
This command cannot be used to save single items (like a
single Style, a bank of Performances…). To do that, use the Save
operations instead.
Note:
In case you want to restore the original data, use the “Fac-
tory Restore” command (see below).
Note:
You will not be able to load data from this file using the nor-
mal Media > Load operations. This file is used for archiving pur-
pose only. To save data that must remain accessible, for example to
load User data after updating the Musical Resources, use the
Media > Save operations instead.
1.
In case you are making the backup on an external USB
device, connect the device to one of the USB Host ports.
Be sure there is enough free space in your target device, or
the Backup procedure will not be completed.
