Limitations on the P-250 when using the File Utility

The TOOLS for P-250 CD-ROM contains a File Utility program. By using this software, you can transfer files between the internal memory of the P-250 and your computer, and edit them. There are some operating states of the P-250 in which it is not possible to use the File Utility or in which some File Utility functions are not available.

You cannot use File Utility to perform file operations in the following states.

• Demo song mode

• Song recording/playback mode

• During ﬁle operations

• During the various [SONG FILE] operations

• During the various [PERFORM.FILE] operations

• During MIDI bulk data transmission and reception

• While MIDI transmission is stopped

The following operations cannot be performed while File Utility is running.

• File operations

• Song loading

• Song playback

•Track button on/off

The following operations cannot be performed on the P-250.

• Changing the ﬁlename extension of a ﬁle

• Japanese display in the LCD screen

• Creating a folder

• Copying a folder from the computer to the storage memory

•Transmitting a protected song to the computer

•Transmitting path information to a device

n When transferring a file between the P-250 and your computer, you must set the type of characters on your P-250 ([CharacterCode]) to match the

language of the operating system for the computer in which you installed File Utility. If the character code of the P-250 does not match the language of the computer that is running File Utility, the file may not be handled correctly.

n On the P-250, the File Utility ID is fixed at “1”. If you specify an ID other than “1,” you will be unable to transmit or receive data. For details on the

File Utility ID, refer to the File Utility PDF manual.

4 TOOLS for P-250 Installation Guide

You can start the File Utility software as either a stand-alone software or a plug-in application in the Open Plug-in Technology compatible application. Refer to the owner's manual of the client application (sequencer, etc.) for details on using the File Utility as a plug-in software.

About Open Plug-in Technology

Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a newly developed software format that allows control over MIDI devices from a music software sequencer. For example, this allows you to start up and operate various parts of your music system, such as plug-in board editors, and mixing control editors - directly from an OPT-compatible sequencer, without having to use each separately. This also makes it unnecessary to set MIDI drivers for each application, streamlining your music production system and making all operations more convenient and seamless.

About the OPT Levels

The client application and its compatibility with OPT can be divided into three levels, as shown below.

Level 1

– OPT Panels provides basic support for opening and displaying OPT control panels that can transmit data via the clients’ external MIDI ports. Typically this will allow basic hardware editor control panels to operate properly.

Level 2

– OPT Processors provides support for real-time MIDI processors and panel automation. Typically this will allow both real-time and offline MIDI effects (e.g. Arpeggiators, transposers etc.) to operate properly and supply automation to OPT panels.

English

Level 3

– OPT Views provides support for edit views and MIDI processors/panels that require direct access to client sequencer storage structures. Typically this will allow sophisticated MIDI edit views to be supported (e.g. List editors, Auto Accompaniment, Data Checkers etc.).

OPT Level Implementation for the File Utility

This chart shows the OPT-compatibility of the File Utility.

OPT levels of the client application

Operation support Operation limits

VIEWS (Level3) Yes None

PROCESSORS (Level2) Yes None

PANELS (Level1) No —

n Certain operations may not work as expected if there is no corresponding function in the client application (sequencer, etc.). The highest level of implemen-

tation for the client application is indicated in the OPT logo (which appears along with the version information in the application).

n Before you install the USB MIDI driver, you can minimize the pos-

sibility of problems by putting your computer in the following state.

• Close all applications and windows that you are not using.

• Disconnect all cables from the P-250 except for the cable whose driver you are installing.

Installing the driver on a Windows 98/Me system

●

Start the computer.

Insert the included CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

Make sure the POWER switch on the P-250 is set to OFF and use the USB cable to connect the USB terminal of the computer (or the USB hub) to the USB terminal of the P-250. When the P-250 is turned on, the computer automatically displays the “Add New Hardware Wizard.” If the Add New Hardware Wizard does not appear, click “Add New Hardware” in the Control Panel.

n For Windows Me users, check the radio button to the left of “Auto-

matic search for a better driver (Recommended)” and click [Next]. The system automatically starts searching and installing the driver. Proceed to Step 8. If the system does not detect the driver, select “Specify the location of the driver (Advanced)” and specify the CDROM drive’s root directory (e.g., D:\) to install the driver.
