Here is one for the PSR 2000 book.

Wednesday I played a job using registrations saved to my Main Performance Floppy. As usual, I heard a few things I wanted to tweak before the next job.

Thursday, when I went to work on it, I changed one registration, saved it...then noticed some of the other registrations did not change tempos from song to song. Hmmmm.
So I tried saving the correct tempos and got the "Disc Full" message. Ahaaaa.

Next step was to delete a few of the lesser used registrations from the floppy...and Presto...it worked as it should.

The only thing I can figure is, the floppy needs a little "breathing room" in order to call up all the parameters that have been inputted.

The one thing it taught me was to NOT change and save registrations on the job. My tempos would have had to be set manually the rest of the night. Certainly do-able...but time consuming and an annoyance when performing.

Having backups to floppies that work flawlessly is also critical. Should this ever happen to any of you, I hope you won't panic. Just remember to avoid maxing out your floppies.
