6. Inserting and removing CF card slot
media
You can insert a CompactFlash or Microdrive card into the
CF card slot, and use it to save or load song data or sam-
ple data.
When using a Microdrive, you can save the sampled data
directly to media.
The TRITON Extreme’s CF card slot does not support
hot-plugging. You must turn off the power before
inserting or removing CF card slot media. Turning off
the TRITON Extreme to insert media into the CF slot
will cause your unsaved sequence and sample data to
be lost; so we suggest you always insert your media
before you turn the TRITON Extreme on, in case you
want to save any of the data you create.
Inserting media
1 Turn off the power of the TRITON Extreme.
2 Make sure that the CF card slot eject button located
on the rear panel is pressed inward.
If the eject button is in the outward position, press it in.
3 Insert your CompactFlash or Microdrive card into the
CF card slot.
Make sure that the card is oriented correctly; the label
should be upward, and the connector end inserted
first.
4 Push the card in until the media is inserted all the
way into the slot.
5 Turn on the power.
To verify that the media was recognized correctly,
check that the Media mode “Media Select” display
shows CF (CompactFlash) or MD (Microdrive).
(
☞p.119)
If the display indicates Unformatted, you will need to
format the card. Newly purchased media or media
that has been used by another device must also be
formatted before you use it on the TRITON Extreme
for the first time. For the formatting procedure, refer
to p.119.
Removing media
1 Turn off the power of the TRITON Extreme.
2 Press the CF card slot eject button located on the rear
panel, and pull the button outward.
3 Press the CF card slot eject button inward, and then
pull the media out of the connector inside the slot.
4 Remove the media from the slot.
Store the media correctly as described in the instruc-
tions included with the media.
