7. OPERATING SYSTEM
The Megabeat Pro operating system is the whole of commands and functions
that let our MIDI-Audio Desk Station work.
This procedures whole, like in a normal computer, is contained on the hard disk
and is loaded in the operating memory (Ram memory) of the Megabeat Pro
when you turn on the power.
The operating system is one of the main highlights of Megabeat Pro .
As already happened with Megabeat One, Charlie Lab constantly follows the
evolution of its product, continuously providing new functions or solving some
little problems that the users themselves can point out. All this makes the
machine always up to date, in a simple and cheap way. Indeed, the operating
system upgrading operation can be made directly by the users without
replacing any internal hardware component.
7.1 Operating System Loading/Upgrading Procedure
In other (rare) cases, for instance after electric power blackouts during some
operations of writing on hard disk, interrupted recover operations, etc. it can
be useful to reload the operating system on hard disk.
The operation is necessary when you have to proceed to upgrade the operating
system (for example when Charlie Lab provides a new release which adds new
functions).
To carry out the Operating System Loading or Upgrading just do the following
procedure:
1. Turn off the Megabeat Pro and remove any cable connected to parallel port.
2. With the machine turned off, insert the floppy disk containing the
operating system (upgraded or to be reloaded).
3. Turn on the Megabeat Pro and wait for the upgrading procedure to take
place. This procedure can last some minute.
While you are waiting you will see the H.D.ACTIVE led flashing.
When the procedure is finished the Megabeat Pro will go back to SINGLE
PLAY mode.
4. Remove the floppy disk and store it in a safe place.
