Saving a song before turning off
Warning: When the instrument is turned off, the song
in Song Edit will be erased. Before turning off the
instrument, save the song by following the Save proce-
dure contained on “Page 13: Save” in the Song Edit
mode. The function is also explained in the “Tutorial”
chapter on page 42.
Page 1: Load
Loading a Standard MIDI File (SMF).
Insert the disk containing the SMF you wish to load.
The disk must be MS-DOS®, 3.5” format, 720K capac-
ity (DS-DD) or 1.44MB (HD).The SMF must have the
filename extension “.MID”.
It is also possible to read files in Yamaha “.DOC” for-
mat, with however some limitations. The sounds are
converted, where possible, into GM sounds. Given the
differences between the DOC and the GM standard,
some tracks may playback with programs and levels
that differ from the original ones.
Choose the SMF with the TEMPO/VALUE buttons (or
the DIAL). The files will appear in the order in which
they were saved on disk. Press ENTER/YES twice to
load the selected file. Once the file has been loaded:
• to go to Page 2 and start playback, press START/
STOP;
• to go to Page 2 without starting playback, press
EXIT/NO.
