Save Operations
Although data are retained in the machine RAM memory even when the
instrument is turned off, it is advisable to save a copy of your data to a
Floppy Disk. RAM is best used as a dynamic work area and not as a data
storage device.
WK1 Or can be saved to a Floppy Disk:
1. as single elements (Song, Style, MidiFile);
2. as set of files from a Group (AllStyles , Performances, SMP)
3. as an “ ALL” operation, that is, saving all the data kept in the RAM
memory.
To save a file as a single element, you can either use the same name, or
rename the file. No name is requested to save a Performance, a Style or
an ALL format file.
The Save Procedure
1. Get a formatted disk and insert it in the drive.
If the disk is write-protected, remove the protection.
2. Press the FLOPPY DISK key and move to SAVE page using
the PAGE + button.
The first page of the SONG mode is shown in the display.
3. Press the CURSOR key to select the format of the file you
wish to save (Song, SMF, Perform, STY, AllSty, SMP, AllDisk).
