Media mode
In this mode, you can save internal memory data to an
inserted SD card, or load data from media into internal
memory. You can also copy or delete files, or format media.
The following media can be used.
SD card
The M50 supports MS-DOS FAT16 and FAT32 formats.
FAT 32 supports up to 2 GB.
SDHC memory cards are not supported.
(For SD cards, please see “Types of media you can use” on
page 91 of the Owner’s manual)
Files, directories, and icons
The M50 manages data on media in a hierarchical manner,
using files and directories. The contents of a file (whether it
is a file or a directory) are indicated not only by the name,
but also graphically, by an icon. Files and directories have
differently shaped icons.
The M50 collectively refers to files and directories recogniz-
able by MS-DOS (readable by an MS-DOS computer), as
“DOS files” and “DOS directories.” Different types of DOS
file are distinguished by the extension added to their file-
name.
In the case of a DOS file with an extension other than listed
below, selecting Load selected to access the dialog box will
cause the file to be considered to be a Standard MIDI File
(SMF). However, you can’t load files that are not in SMF
format.
When M50 data is saved, one of these filename extensions
will be added automatically, according to the type of data. If
these filename extensions are modified on a computer, the
file will be treated as an undefined file when it is reloaded
back into the M50, and will be handled as a Standard MIDI
File.
Files handled by the M50 have the shown in the structure
(see next page). Since .PCG and .SNG files can be opened to
divide their contents, they are displayed as directory icons.
