15. Disk/Media functions
The E-60/E-50’s DISK & MEDIA functions allow you to
save edited data and settings to the internal memory, a
memory card or floppy disk, to save and load User Pro-
gram Sets and MIDI Sets, to format various storage
“media”, to delete files and to copy data.
If you’re still wondering whether to use a floppy disk or
a memory card, consider this:
• Memory cards have a much bigger capacity (up to
4GB) and are more reliable than floppy disks.
• Though you can also use 2DD or 2HD floppies, the
most helpful functions (Song/Style/User Program
Finder, the PLAY LIST function and automatic song
links to User Programs) are only available for files on
memory card or in the internal memory.
2HD disks have twice the capacity of 2DD disks, so
use 2HDs whenever you can.
