About CompactFlash
Here’s how to save a set of backup data (containing all of
the SP-555’s internal data including sample banks and
pattern banks) to a CompactFlash card. Up to sixteen sets of
backup data can be saved on a card.
If you’ve saved numerous samples and patterns on a card, and
it doesn’t have much space remaining, you’ll only be able to
save a small number of backup sets.
1. While holding down [CANCEL], press one of the BANK
[C/G]–[F/J] buttons.
The display will indicate “SAV,” and the pads to which
backup data has not been saved will blink.
2. Select the desired save-destination pad.
The selected pad will light, the other pads will go out,
and [SAMPLING] will light.
You can’t select a pad that is unlit in step 1 (i.e., a pad in
which no data has been saved).
If you decide to cancel, press [CANCEL].
3. Press [SAMPLING].
[SAMPLING] will light, and the backup save operation
will be executed. During execution, the dot in the
display will blink. When the blinking stops, the backup
save operation has been completed.
Never turn off the power while the dot is blinking. Doing so
may destroy the backup data or the CompactFlash card.
Here’s how to load a set of backup data (containing all the
SP-555’s settings including sample banks and pattern banks)
from a CompactFlash card.
When you execute the backup load operation, the SP-555’s
settings will be erased and overwritten by the newly loaded
backup data.
1. While holding down [CANCEL], press the BANK [A] or
[B] button.
The display will indicate “Lod,” and the pads to which
backup data has been saved will blink.
If the memory is protected (p. 51), the display will indicate
“Prt” (Protected) and the backup load operation cannot be
executed.
If there is no backup data on the CompactFlash card, the
display will indicate “EnP” and the backup load operation
cannot be executed.
2. Press a pad to select the backup data that you want to
load.
The selected pad will light, and the other pads will go
out. [SAMPLING] will blink.
You can’t select a pad that was unlit in step 1 (i.e., a pad in
which no data was saved).
If you decide to cancel, press [CANCEL].
3. Press [SAMPLING].
[SAMPLING] will light, and the backup load operation
will be executed. During execution, the dot in the
display will blink. When the blinking stops, the backup
load operation has been completed.
Never turn off the power while the dot is blinking. Doing so
may destroy the SP-555’s internal memory data or the
CompactFlash card.
