Saving Your Performance
The performance data you record on the HPi-5 will be lost when you select another song or turn off
the power of the HPi-5. If you want to keep important performance data, you must save it on a floppy
disk.
→ If you will be using a disk drive for the first time, please be sure to read “Before Using Floppy Disks” (p. 6).
Saving a Song on a Floppy Disk
Inserting/removing a floppy disk
Inserting a floppy disk
With the label of the floppy disk facing upward, insert it into the disk drive until it clicks
into place.
fig.FDD.e
Removing a floppy disk
Press the eject button.
The floppy disk will protrude from the disk drive. Grasp the edge of the floppy disk and gently pull it
out.
* Don’t try to eject the disk while reading or writing is in progress. Attempting to do so may damage the
magnetic surface of the disk, rendering it unusable. (The indicator light for the disk drive lights up at full
brightness when reading or writing data. Ordinally, the indicator will be less brightly lit, or be extinguished.)
Formatting a floppy disk
A newly purchased floppy disk, or a floppy disk that has been used by another device cannot be used
as is. Such floppy disks must be “formatted” for use with the HPi-5.

First make sure that the protect tab of the floppy disk is in the “Write (write enable)” position.
