The System-8 only appears to have single power on mode that allows updates to the firmware. Press and hold the KEY TRIG button whilst turning on the System-8. This will open the System-8 drive on the connected PC. DO NOT copy any files in here other than those supplied by Roland for the System-8!<\/p>\n
The other Power-on modes, such as used on the System-1, TB-3 and MX-1 for functions like turning off the Screen Saver, are no longer required as they are available via the [MENU]<\/strong> button, mostly under the SYSTEM menu.<\/p>\n For instance, to turn off the Screen Saver mode on the System-8, press [MENU]<\/strong> then use the cursor buttons to scroll thru the options until the dislay reads SYSTEM<\/strong> and press [ENTER]<\/strong>. Use the cursor buttons again until the display reads LED Demo<\/strong> and adjust the [VALUE]<\/strong> knob until the display reads OFF<\/strong>. Press [EXIT]<\/strong> twice to leave the menu and return to PATCH\/PERFORMANCE mode.<\/p>\n Any changes made to the SYSTEM settings can be saved by pressing [WRITE]<\/strong> and using the cursor buttons until the display reads SYSTEM<\/strong>. Press [ENTER]<\/strong> twice to store the changes.<\/p>\n The SD card in the System-8 can be used to backup all patch and performance banks as one file and also export individual patches and performance setups. Any generic SD card should work in the System-8. I’m currently using a Sandisk SDHC 32GB card without any problems. As the files stored on the SD card are quite small, a 32GB card is going to take some time to fill!<\/p>\n The files themselves are not readable in programs such as Notepad or Wordpad, but each file that is backup or exported is saved with a text file that details what is in the saved file.<\/p>\n When naming files there are a couple of shortcuts that can be used so that you do not need to keep turning the VALUE knob in order to insert or delete characters. These are:<\/p>\n These functions can also be used when naming patches and performances.<\/p>\n Power on modes The System-8 only appears to have single power on mode that allows updates to the firmware.
