It is not the user drive you want to format. It is the flash memory which is a different thing.
Yes, Eileen,
in principle you are right, but the Expansion Wave memory can NOT be formatted without installing at least a minimum of new content. Let me explain what I meant, a bit more detailed:
The
folder named "Expansion" (where are stored for example the Styles, Multi Pads or included Registrations of the Expansion Packs and also the .VCE files of the Expansion VOICES) is, first of all, what a "normal" user sees (and possibly wants to
delete, if he
basically does NOT want to use Expansion content).
But this folder (which is located in the User drive on SX and PSR-S models) can NOT be deleted by the user, and therefore it is even suggested in the Manual, just to
format the User drive, if you want to "delete" all Expansion content.
Of course, the Wave samples of the Expansion Voices (in the Expansion Wave memory) will remain unchanged, but that does not bother. (The user has what he wants, namely, he "sees" no Expansion content anymore ...
)
P.S.
I would never format the User drive, only to remove the "Expansion" folder, of course. But as the saying goes: "The customer is king."
In other words: If a user does not use Expansion content and doesn't want to "see" any Expansion Packs on the keyboard, then one should allow him to do so.
Best regards,
Chris
