The GZ-1000 will start by scanning the disk directory and allocating space for the
amount of data you indicated. If there is room on the disk, it will then transmit the
DRQ message (if one exists) and display “WAITING FOR MIDI DATA”. At this point
you can press the buttons required to start a patch dump on the synthesizer if not
using a DRQ message.
The lower part of the LCD will display an arrow scanning quickly from left to right.
You should see the arrow slow down or jump around randomly as MIDI data starts to
come in. When the synthesizer is finished sending data, press the EDIT button (on
the GZ-1000) to terminate the operation. If the operation was successful, the disk
directory will be updated and a status message will be displayed including a
hexadecimal number showing the exact number of bytes received.
If no data was received, or if the amount of MIDI data exceeded the allocated space,
an error message will be displayed and the operation will be cancelled without saving
the file. If MIDI data stops coming in and you do not press the EDIT button, the
operation will end automatically after 30 seconds. The long time limit allows the
possibility of dumping several different patches if the synthesizer front panel controls
are used for initiating patch dumps.
Load file
Page 0 function 24 is used for loading all types of disk files. When the cursor is
moved from the function field, the primary disk drive is scanned and the first 64
entries in the directory are loaded into memory. Each file in the directory is assigned
a file number based on its position on the disk. The cursor will be on this file number
on the top line of the display. A particular file is chosen using data entry to change
the file number. The file name and . le type that go with the selected file number
will be displayed on the bottom display line. To load the entire selected file, move
the cursor to <GO> and enter +1 or YES.
