Saving files to disk

The EXR-46 OR provides the following Save functions:
SAVE Upr: Use this function to save the contents of the
internal User Program memories (all 200 of them) to a floppy
disk.
Note: The User Program set data also contain the USER TONES but-
ton assignments (page 30).
SAVE Sng: This allows you to save the song in the
USERSONG memory to a floppy disk. A song saved to disk
becomes a Standard MIDI File.
(1) Insert a disk into the drive.
Every floppy contains a square tab that allows you to "close"
a little window. With the tab in that position, you can save
data to the disk. Do not forget to write-enable the disk by
closing this little window prior to inserting the floppy disk.
(2) Press [DISK] and use FAMILY [√][®] to select "SAVE Upr"
or "SAVE Sng".
(3) If necessary, use the SELECT [√][®] buttons to move the
cursor to another character position (that character
flashes).
