Music Data Recorder (M.D.R.)

The Music Data Recorder (M.D.R.) is a sophisticated recording system built into the DDK-7 that
lets you record your performances and Registration settings to a USB flash memory or other
external media. If you install the optional floppy disk drive such as the UD-FD01 to the DDK-7,
you can record your performances/settings to floppy disks. Before using an external media such
as USB flash memory, carefully read "Precautions when using the USB TO DEVICE terminal"
section on page 111.
