LOAD ONE SONG
FROM TAPE: 00

SEND ALL PARTS &
SONGS OUT MIDI

In all five of these pages, pressing RECORD initiates the operation. The verify function is

used to insure that the data just recorded to tape is good. Load from tape loads the entire

sequence memory with the data on tape. Load part and load song allow a single part or
song to be loaded from a tape. The keypad can be used to select the desired number.

After pressing RECORD, the display will change to the following (depending on the page
shown when it was pressed):

VERIFYING TAPE..

PART: 00

LOADING TAPE..
PART: 00

LOADING PART 27
PART: 00

LOADING SONG 56

SONG: 00

SENDING OUT DATA TO

MIDI........

Again, the RECORD and TAPE buttons can be released, and the display will continue until

the operation is complete, with the currently loading or verifying part or song number being

shown in the display. When loading one part or song, the display will continue to show the
selected part or song number in the upper display. When sending out MIDI data, the
display shown above will remain until the data has been sent out. After completion of the

tape functions, the display will return to its previous state (select part or select song). If an

error is encountered while loading a tape, the display will show ERROR as soon as it
occurs, for example.

LOADING TAPE..
PART: 36 ERROR

The tape will attempt to continue to load, but it is possible that the data will be corrupted

and therefore unusable.

During any of the tape operations (but not the send MIDI function), the STOP/CONTINUE

button can be used to abort the operation. When loading in all parts and songs, aborting

the tape may leave unusable data in memory. When loading one part or song, aborting

after the selected part or song has passed will not cause any problems.

STORING TO DISK USING MIDI SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE DATA DUMP

The MMT'8 send to MIDI function is provided so that the data can be stored on a computer,

a Yamaha MDF-1 (MID! Filer) or a Yamaha DX-7IIFD. The data Is sent out as one block of
system exclusive data, with the length being determined by the amount of memory being

used. If using the MIDI Filer, no more than 85% of the memory should be full or else the
