Write Protect Tab

Window

The 3.5” disks have a sliding write-

protection tab so that you can protect

your sounds and sequences against

accidental erasure. Sliding the write-

protection tab in the lower left corner of

the disk so that the window is closed will

allow you to store information on the

disk. Sliding the tab so that the window

is open will protect the disk against being

accidentally reformatted or having files

deleted. Double-Sided High Density

disks can be easily identified because they

have an additional window (with no

write-protection tab) located on the lower

right corner of the disk.

Floppy disks are a magnetic storage medium and should be treated with the same care you’d

give important audio tapes. Just as you would use high quality audio tapes for your important

recording needs, we recommend using high-quality floppy disks for your TS-10. On the

following page are a few Do’s and Don’t’s concerning disks and the disk drive.

Do’s:

• Use either Double-Sided High-Density (DSHD) or Double-Sided Double-Density (DSDD) 3.5

inch Micro-floppy disks. Both types are available from almost any computer store and many

music stores carry them as well.

• Keep your disks and the disk drive clean and free of dust, dirt, liquids, etc.

• Only transport your unit with nothing in the drive.

Don’t’s:

• Don’t use Single-Sided (SSDD or SSSD) disks. These disks have not passed testing on both

sides. While a single-sided disk might work successfully with the TS-10, it is possible that you

will eventually lose important data to a disk error if you try using Single-Sided disks.

• Don’t put anything other than a disk or the plastic sheet in the disk drive.

• Don’t transport the unit with a disk in the drive.

• Don’t expose disks to extremes of temperature. Temperatures below 50˚ F and above 140˚ F

can damage the plastic outer shell.

• Don’t expose your disks to moisture.

• Don’t dry your disks in a microwave oven.

• Don’t subject disks to strong magnetic fields. Exposure to magnetic energy can permanently

damage the information on the disk. Keep disks away from speaker cabinets, tape decks,

power cables, airline x-ray equipment, power amplifiers, TV sets, and any other sources of

magnetic energy.

• Don’t eject the disk while the drive is operating (i.e. when the disk drive light is on).

TS-10 Disk File Types

The TS-10 disk storage system has been designed to allow maximum flexibility in saving, loading

and organizing your sound and sequence data. Consequently, for each type of data there are

several different types of files that can be saved:

Programs:

• 1-PROGRAM — contains a single TS-10 Program.

• 6-PROGRAMS — contains a bank of 6 TS-10 programs, as displayed on the Program Bank

pages 0-9. This file type lets you organize programs into groups of six that can be saved and

loaded back into any RAM bank you choose.

• 60-PROGRAMS — contains one BankSet of 60 User RAM Programs.
