Both the EM-50 and the EM-30 allow you to update
their operating system. New system versions may be
available at your Roland dealer (ask your Roland deal-
er for details). There is no guarantee, however that
there will ever be a new version. Jf there is, you should
save the EM-50/30's current system version before
loading the new one. The EM-50 allows you to do so
either via MIDI or using a floppy disk. The EM-30
only supports MIDI transfer of the system data (see
"Archiving your settings via MIDI (Dump TX)" on
page 55).
Here is how to save the EM-50's system to a floppy
disk:
1. Switch off the EM-50, wait a few seconds, then hold
down TONE/ONE TOUCH [6] while switching the
EM-50 back on again.
The display now shows the £'42 520. message, fol-
lowed by InartOsk.
2. Insert an MS-DOS® formatted 2HD disk into the
drive and wait until the Sau MM message is dis-
played.
3. Wait until the Come lete message is displayed,
the eject the disk and store in a safe place.
SysLoad: Updating the EM-50's system
from disk
'The EM-50/30's system can be updated from floppy
or via MIDI (see page 61). As stated above, therc may
never be a new system version. You may, however,
want to stop by your Roland dealer at regular intervals
to check this.
Note: Before updating the operating system, be sure to
save your User Programs, Custom Styles, and song to disk
(see page 57). Updating the system version indeed erases
the entire contents of the internal memory. Also, do not
forget to make a backup of the current system version. You
may need it if turns out the new version doesn't work (see
above).
If you do get such a disk, here is how to transfer the
data to your EM-50:
1. Switch off the EM-50, wait a few seconds, then hold
down TONE/ONE TOUCH [8] + [METRONOME]
while switching the EM-50 back on again.
The display now shows the 5'42L cl message, fol-
lowed by InartOsk.
2. Insert the disk with the new system version into the
drive and wait until the EZ 1 El message is dis-
played.
The figure after the “_” represents the version. The
above message refers to system version “1.00”. Newer
versions will have higher numbers, such as “1.04”,
“1.05”, etc. — if they are ever released.
