Disk mode performs disk-related functions such as loading
data from disk into the XP-80’s memory (Load), and saving a
song or sound source settings to disk (Save). You can also
format a disk or create a backup disk in this mode.
...........................................................................................................
<Before operating in Disk mode>
To perform any operation in Disk mode, a 3.5" 2DD/2HD
disk is required.
Before using a new disk or one that has been used on anoth-
er device, please initialize (format) it on the XP-80. A 3.5"
2DD disk should be formatted to 720KB and 3.5" 2HD disk
to 1440KB. These are standard formats used with most song
data software and computers/instruments. If you save a
song created on the XP-80 as a Standard MIDI File, you can
use many devices to play your song.
