Music Data Recorder (MDR)

The Music Data Recorder (M.D.R.) is a sophisticated recording system built into the Electone
that lets you record your performances and Registration settings to a USB flash memory
device or other external media. Moreover, the M.D.R. allows you to perform various other
operations to your song data (such as copy, delete and convert).
Before purchasing any USB storage device, you should check with your Yamaha dealer or an
authorized Yamaha distributor for advice on compatibility.
By installing the optional UD-FD01 floppy disk drive to the ELB-01, you can play songs stored to floppy
disks. For information on how to install the UD-FD01, see page 167. Keep in mind, however, that you cannot
save special Protected Original Songs or the Protected Edit Songs to floppy disks. For details about these
protected songs, see page 139.
Before using a USB device, read through the important section "Precautions when using the USB TO
DEVICE terminals" on page 155. About USB devices compatible with the Electone, see "Compatible USB
devices" on page 155.
To protect your data (write-protect switch):
Some USB flash memory devices are equipped with a write-protect switch. To prevent accidental erasure of
important data saved in USB flash memory, slide the write-protect switch on the device to the "protect"
position. When saving data, make sure that the write-protect switch is set to the "overwrite" position.
