Yamaha SY99 Owner's Manual page 278

1. After selecting the desired load operation, press
ENTER to select the disk file from which to load
the data.
The names of all disk files of the selected type will
be displayed. An elongated dash is displayed after
file numbers that contain no data. Move the cursor
to select a file, or use the numeric keys to directly
specify a file number.
2. Although a disk can contain as many as 99 files,
the LCD can show only ten filenames at once.
To view the rest of the filenames, press Fl or F2
to scroll the filename display up or down.
3. After selecting a file press F8 (Go). The display
will ask "Are you sure ?" If you are sure that
you want to load the data, press YES. The data
will be loaded from disk file into the SY99.
Load from disk (type 9): Load operation type 9 can
be used to load a single song saved as part of an
"All Data" file. The procedure for loading this
data differs from that described above in that you
must select the song to be loaded, and the des-
tination to which it is to be loaded.
1. Select the file from which data is to be loaded.
Then press F8 (Dir) to view a directory of the
songs contained in the selected file.
2. Move the cursor to select the desired song.
3. To select the destination into which the selected
song will be loaded, press F4 (Dst) and move
the cursor to the desired song number. Note that
if you select a song location already occupied by
data, that data will be overwritten by the load
operation.
4. If you change your mind about the source song
you have selected for loading, press F3 (Src) to
return to the source song directory.
5. When you have selected the destination song,
press F8 (Go). The SY99 will ask you if you
want to "LOAD With Pattern Data ?" Press
YES to load pattern data as well as song data, or
NO to load song data only. The selected data will
be loaded from disk into internal memory.
Load from disk (types 10 and 13): Like load oper-
ation type 9, load operation types 10 and 13 are
used to load data files containing a single song.
Load operation 10 is used to load data saved
using the E-Seq, N-Seq, and Standard MIDI File
formats, whereas load operation type 13 is used
to load K-Seq data saved using the "1 Song"
procedure described in 3.Save to disk, below. The
procedure for loading these types of data is
similar to that described above for load operation
type 9.
1. When load operation type 10 or 13 is selected,
the display will show the complete names of all
of the files on the disk, whether or not they were
created by the SY99. Each filename includes a
three-character extension. The first letter of this
extension shows the format of the data. Refer to
Disk filename extensions in the Appendix, page
322.
2. The display can show the names of only ten files
at one time. Use Fl and F2 to scroll the display
up or down, and move the cursor to select the
desired file.
3. To select the destination into which the selected
song will be loaded, press F4 (Dst) and move
the cursor to the desired song number. Note that
if you select a song location already occupied by
data, that data will be overwritten by the load
operation.
4. If you change your mind about the source song
you have selected for loading, press F3 (Src) to
return to the source song directory.
5. When you have selected the destination song,
press F8 (Go). If you have selected load opera-
tion type 10 (1 song), the SY99 will ask you if
you want to "LOAD With Pattern Data?" In
this case, press YES to load pattern data as well
as song data, or NO to load song data only. The
selected data will be loaded from disk into
internal memory.
If you select and attempt to load a file which
does not contain sequencer data readable by the
SY99, an error message will be displayed. When
loading E-Seq or N-Seq data, any data specific
to the device which created the file will be ig-
nored. For example, when loading N-Seq data
saved by the QX5PD, macro data will be ig-
nored.
Please refer to About the Standard MIDI
File Format (page 323) for a detailed discussion
of the standard MIDI file format.
