How Disk mode is organized
In Disk mode you can use floppy disks to save or load
various types of data. You can also make settings
related to saving and loading functionality.
Types of media that can be used
Floppy disks
This instrument can use MS-DOS format 3.5 inch 2HD
or 2DD floppy disks. The capacity of a floppy disk
after formatting will be 1.44 MB (18 sectors/track) for a
2HD disk, or 720 KB (9 sectors/track) for a 2DD disk.
(
☞For details on formatting, refer to PG p.156.)
We recommend that you use 2HD floppy disks.
When you insert disk for the first time after turn-
ing on the power, or after changing disks, you
must press a function key etc. to make this instru-
ment detect the disk. When the disk is recognized,
disk information will appear in the LCD screen.
Loading data
Types of data that can be loaded
The data that can be loaded from floppy disk is shown
in the diagram at the bottom of the previous page.

☞For details on each type of data, refer to PG p.149)
Data loading procedure
Loading Programs, Combinations, Drum
kits, and Global settings (loading a .PCG
file)
Select this when you wish to reload programs or com-
binations that you created and saved using “Save All”
or “Save PCG,” or when you wish to restore the pre-
loaded data (factory settings) from the included floppy
disks.
You will normally use this method to load a .PCG file
from a floppy disk that was included with the sepa-
rately sold EXB-PCM series option or EXB-MOSS
option.
