E-60/E-50 Music Workstation
Quick Start
Saving your song
A song you save to becomes a Standard MIDI File that
can be played back with the E-60/E-50, but also with
any other SMF-compatible sequencer.
There are two ways of saving new or edited songs:
• Via the [DISK¥&¥MEDIA] button and the related menu
(see p. 176).
• By pressing the [SAVE] field on the 16-track
Sequencer page.
Note: Whenever you leave the 16-track Sequencer page by
pressing the [EXIT] button, the display shows a "Song has been
changed..." message that asks you whether you want to save
your changes. Press the [YES] field and proceed.
Here, we will show you how to save your song using
the [SAVE] field.
(1) On the 16-track Sequencer page, press the [SAVE]
field.
The display now responds with:
(2) Specify where you want to save your song:
• Press the [INTERNAL¥MEMORY] field to select the
E-60/E-50's internal memory as target (this is a 16MB
storage area similar to a hard disk).
• Insert a floppy disk into the drive and press the
[FLOPPY] field.
• Press the [EXTERNAL¥MEMORY] field. This option is
only available if you insert a memory card into the
E-60/E-50's PCMCIA slot.
If your floppy disk or memory card does not seem to
work, try formatting it, then try again. See "Format"
on p. 181.
Note: If you want to save the song under its current name or
the name assigned by default ("New Song"), you can skip steps
(4)~(5).
You need to give your song two names: a SONG
NAME and a FILE NAME. The FILE NAME is the name
the E-60/E-50 uses for locating the song. The SONG
NAME, on the other hand, is displayed in the Song
Finder.
