Transferring Data between the

You can use the procedure below to transfer
registration data from the Digital Piano to a computer
for storage. You also can transfer standard MIDI files
(SMF) from your computer to Digital Piano memory.
■ Data Types Supported for Data Transfer
Data Type Description (File Name Extension)

(page E-41) • CASIO format data (CM2)
• Standard MIDI files (MID),
SMF Format0 or Format1

longer than normal for the Digital Piano to power up
the next time you turn it on (page E-11).
