Storage Mode
Storage mode lets you use xD memory cards to load, save, back up, and copy files between the
PC3 and the outside world.
Storage mode in the PC3 allows flexibility to organize files and their contents. Its features can
save you time by allowing you to select and organize files and directories.
Here’s a summary of Storage mode functionality:
• One xD slot
• MS-DOS file system compatibility
• Support for song files (sequences) in MIDI Type 0 and Type 1 format
Storage Mode Page
To enter Storage mode, press the Storage button, and the Storage mode page will appear:
As usual, the current mode is displayed on the top line. In the center of the page is a line
indicating the currently selected storage device.
The currently selected device will be read from or written to when you load, save, rename, or
delete files. Use the soft buttons to start any of these operations. Refer to Storage Mode Soft
Buttons on page 13-3 for complete information.
Using xD Cards
You can use xD cards for all your backup and storage requirements. xD cards are sold in a
variety of sizes; the PC3 will work with any size, so long as it’s 32MB – 256MB, Type S or no type
stated, and formatted as FAT16.
The xD card slot is on the back panel of the PC3, but it is easily accessible from the front of the
instrument – just run your hand along the back panel at the right end (as viewed from the front);
the blue light of the card slot will reflect off your hand. The gold contacts on the card must be
facing up when you insert it into the PC3. You can remove an xD card anytime the blue “Storage
Active” LED on the front panel is unlit.
