Error messages
Data could not be written.
When writing a song to a song of a different
number, the maximum number of recordable
events was exceeded. Please erase event data
to free up memory (p.45).
Protect was turned "on" for the memory into
which you attempted to write data. In Global
mode, turn the Protect setting "oFF" (p.48).
When event-recording on a song, event data
memory has filled up. If you attempt to record
additional events, the "memory full" message
will appear immediately. Please erase event
data to free up memory (p.45).
Restoring the factory set
data
The pattern and song data with which the EM-1 is shipped
from the factory is referred to as the "preloaded data," and
you can restore this preloaded data back into the memory of
the EM-1.
When you do this, the patterns you created and the songs
which use these patterns will be erased, and replaced by the
preloaded data. If you wish to keep the patterns and songs
you created, you must save the data on a data filer etc. before
you load the preloaded data.
1. While simultaneously pressing the Transpose key and the
Write key, turn on the power.
2. The display will indicate "PLd," and the Play/Pause key
will blink.
3. To load the factory preloaded data, press the blinking Play/
Pause key.
This will require apporoximately 30 seconds.
To cancel, press the Stop/Cancel key.
When loading is complete, the EM-1 will return to its initial
state. After several seconds the display will indicate pattern
number "A.01," and the EM-1 will be in Pattern mode.
Never turn off the power during the Load process. The
data may be damaged.
