ENGLISH

Saving a Song

1.

Select a User song to save.

Select a User song to save by using the

[SONG SELECT]

and

[–/NO][+/YES]

buttons.

2.

Select a song container in the device and save the
User song.

After making sure that the USB storage device is connected to the instrument, press
the

[FILE]

button (the “SAVE TO USB” indicator lights). Then, while holding the

[FILE]

button, simultaneously press the

[–/NO][+/YES]

buttons to select a container

(S00 – S99). After releasing the

[FILE]

button, “n y” (no/yes) appears in the display.

Press the

[+/YES]

button to save the songs. The song is saved into the “USER FILES”

folder and named as “USERSONGxx.MID.”

Overwriting the song

If you select a container which contains an SMF song, three dots appear in the
display (ex., “S.0.0.”). If you do not want to overwrite the file, press the

[–/NO]

button when “n y (no or yes)” appears in the display and select another container.
If you want to overwrite the song, press the

[+/YES]

button. After “n-y” appears in

the display again to confirm whether you wish to overwrite the file or not, press
the

[+/YES]

button once more.

Notice

While the instrument is accessing data (such as during Save, Load, Delete and
Format operations) or is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection:
until the FILE LOAD LED flash stops), do NOT unplug the USB cable, do NOT remove
the media from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either devices. Doing so
may corrupt the data on either or both devices.

3.

Exit from the file operation mode.

Press the

[FILE]

button several times to exit the file operation mode. (The FILE

indicators turn off.)
Play the recorded song (see page 40).

Notice

Do not rename User files on a computer. If the file name is changed in this way, the file
cannot be loaded to the instrument.

Procedure

NOTE

If the selected song has no data,
the song will not be saved (you
cannot select a container for SMF
songs — S00 – S99). Confirm that
the selected song has data by
making sure that the indicator of
[RIGHT] or [LEFT] is turned on.

NOTE

If there is not enough capacity left
on the USB storage device to
save or export the data, an appro-
priate message will appear on the
display and you will not be able to
save or export the data. Delete
unwanted files from the device to
make more memory available
(page 36), or use another device.

NOTE

If you move an SMF song from the
“USER FILES” folder to the top
folder using a computer, the file
type will be changed — from a
SMF song (S00 – S99) to an
External song.
