Can I get rid of the demo songs to save RAM?
You can delete demo songs to gain RAM space, and you can
dump them to files via SysEx so that you can load them again
at a later time without having to use the CD.
Note: The PC2 allows you to select ROM demos and execute
the delete function as if you were really deleting the ROM
demos. They don’t truly get deleted, however. You can
actually delete only those demos that you’ve loaded in RAM.
1. Go into Demo mode. On keyboard models, press
Sound Select 14 and Sound Select 16 at the same time;
on rackmount models, press the MIDI Receive and
Global buttons at the same time. The top line of the
display shows DEMO: followed by the ID and name of
the currently selected demo song.
2. Use the Alpha Wheel or the Minus or Plus button to
select the desired demo. If you’re going to dump the
demo, make sure you have a MIDI connection between
the MIDI Out of the PC2 and the MIDI In of the
receiving device.
3. Press Store (on keyboard models) or Edit/Store (on
rackmount models). The PC2’s display asks you if you
want to delete the current demo.
4. Skip to Step 5 if you want to dump the demo.
Otherwise press Enter to delete the demo. When it’s
gone, the display shows Deleted! If you decide not
to delete the demo, press Cancel instead of Enter; this
returns you to Demo mode.
5. Press the Right cursor button. The display asks if you
want to dump the current demo.
6. Press Enter to start the dump. On keyboard models,
the LED in the MIDI Xmit button lights to indicate the
data flow. When the dump is finished, the display
shows Demo|Dumped! briefly, then returns to the
Dump|Demo? prompt.
