For its correct functioning M-Blaster2 needs the Data storage unit
(Compact Flash Card), to be inserted in its proper housing (fig1/7).
Otherwise, on the display it will appear the following message:
“COMPACT FLASH NOT PRESENT”
note: The Compact Flash Cards are formatted when the product is sold;
However, if necessary, the formatting should be executed with the
following characteristics: FAT 12/16 bit formatting (it will be implemented
to FAT 32).
Insert the Compact Flash in its proper housing (fig1/7) without forcing its
introduction. M-Blaster2 will then display the page Songs. It is possible to
adjust the display contrast pressing the MENU key (fig 1/4) and rotating
the alpha dial knob (fig. 1/1).
SONGS
The page on the display (PAGE xxx) contains the songs list, in MIDI or
MP3 format, in alphabetical order, 6 titles of 26 letters per page where,
the audio songs (MP3) are marked by the “A” letter before the title while
the MIDI files are preceded by the suffix “M” (.mid) or “K” (.kar). Above
left on the display it is displayed the current page number. To visualize
the other pages it is sufficient to rotate the switch (fig. 1/1): at every click
the page will change to a new one containing 6 songs.
It is also possible to move from a song to another one, using the slider
keys; after the last song the next page will be displayed.
