TS-10 Musician’s Manual Section 13 — Storage

• Once you have successfully received the Sys-Ex message (or messages), press SAVE. The

standard SAVE FILE display appears:

• Name the file with an 11-character name of your choice using the data entry controls and the

two cursor soft buttons, labeled LEFT and RIGHT. (Or you can use the keyboard to select

characters and move the cursor, if Keyboard Naming is enabled on the System page).

• Press *YES*. The Display reads SAVING <FILENAME> while the data is being saved. Or

Press *NO* to cancel the procedure for any reason.

• If there is a Sys-Ex file with the same name already on the disk, the TS-10 will ask DELETE

OLD VERSION? Press *YES* to save the file, replacing the one on the disk. This is for

updating files to which you have made changes. Or press *NO* to abort the procedure.

• After the file is saved, the TS-10 returns to the SAVE FILE page, so that you can save a backup

copy of the data to a different disk if you wish. Press *NO* (or any other front panel button) to

exit.

Note: If during the reception of Sys-Ex data, the TS-10 display reads STATUS=INCOMPLETE, this

means it did not receive an “End Of Exclusive” after the System Exclusive message. This would

indicate that the external MIDI device did not transmit a complete message for some reason.

Press *EXIT* and try again.

If the TS-10 display reads STATUS=MEMORY FULL, this means it ran out of memory with

which to “buffer” the incoming data (the maximum amount which can be received is 256, 767

with expanded memory, blocks for a standard TS-10). After receiving the Memory Full message

you can still save the file, but it is almost certain that the last Sys-Ex message received is

incomplete and will not be able to be received successfully when retransmitted.

LOADING System Exclusive Data from Disk to an External Device

After you have saved a System Exclusive message from an external MIDI instrument, getting the

data back to the original instrument involves three steps:

1) First you prepare the receiving instrument(s) to receive System Exclusive messages via MIDI;

2) next, you Load the data from the TS-10’s disk drive into memory; and then

3) you send (transmit) the data to the remote MIDI device(s) from the TS-10.

To Load and Transmit a System Exclusive File from disk:

• Connect the MIDI Out of the TS-10 to the MIDI In of the receiving device(s).

• Enable the receiving instrument(s) to receive System Exclusive messages. Many devices have

a switch or a parameter which enables or disables the receiving of System Exclusive messages.

Consult the manual of each particular device for details.

• Insert the disk containing the Sys-Ex data into the disk drive.

• Press Storage to select the Storage page.

• Press DISK. The Disk Storage menu appears.

• Press LOAD. The Load File display appears as shown earlier. The file type is underlined.

• Use the data entry controls to select the file type SYS-EX DATA.

• Press the soft button above the file name and use the data entry controls to find the file you

want to transmit (or use the File Banks to quickly locate the file without scrolling as detailed

earlier in this section).
