N.B: If a large number of data have to be copied, the Canticus will request insertion of the source disk (the display shows
"Src") and then the destination disk several times.
When the copy is complete, the display will show the current song number.
4.12 DELETING A SONG
To delete a song from a floppy disk, first of all use the SONG< and SONG> keys to select the number of the song to be
deleted, then keep the REC key pressed and press CLEAR. "Sur" ("Are you sure?") will appear on the display.
Press REC to proceed with the deletion or STOP to abort the operation.
Note that:
•
Once the deletion has been confirmed, if the display shows the message "dPr" (Disk Protected", you have attempted to
delete a song from a disk with writing protection. Remove the disk and shut the window in its top right-hand corner,
then repeat the operation.
•
Display of the "SPr" ("Song Protected") error indicates that the song you wish to delete has been protected against
cancellation (see point 4.13).
4.13 PROTECTING A SONG
The Canticus floppy disk drive is able to apply a special code (Read-Only attribute) to each song on the floppy disk to
protect it against accidental deletion.
With no playing in progress, keep the CLEAR key pressed and also press the SONG< key.
The 3 digit display will show "Pr" (Protection) preceded by an "S" (Song Protected), or by an "n" (Not Protected), relating
to the first song on the disk. Use the SONG< and SONG> keys to select the song for which the attribute is to be modified,
and make the modification using the REW and FF keys. Now confirm the operation with REC and then press STOP to exit
from the procedure.
Note that:
•
The protection attribute has no effect on formatting procedures.
•
To allow modification of the protection attribute, the disk must NOT be protected against writing (window in the top
right-hand corner shut).
4.14 OVERALL PROTECTION AND DE-PROTECTION
The procedure described in point 4.13 can be applied to ALL the songs placed on the floppy disk so far.
To do this, keep the CLEAR key pressed and press the FF key to enable overall protection, or REW to remove the
protection.
The display will show "Run" (operation in progress) for a few moments (depending on the quantity of data to be protected),
and the number of the current song will then reappear.
4.15 TOTAL NUMBER OF SONGS ON A FLOPPY DISK
To find out the total number of songs on the floppy disk, press CLEAR with the system in STOP condition, and while
keeping it pressed, press the TEMPO> key. The number required will appear on the 3 digit display for a few moments.
4.16 SPACE OCCUPIED BY A SINGLE SONG
With the system in STOP condition, keep the CLEAR key pressed and press the SONG> key. The display will show the
amount of disk space occupied by the selected song. Remember that the value displayed is expressed in Kbytes.
