17 • Save your programmed data to disk
The SK760/880 RAM is backed by a rechargeable battery to safeguard your programmed data when
the instrument is turned off. For security reasons, however, it is necessary to store your data to floppy
disk (or Hard disk) with the Save command. The RAM should be considered as a work area which can
be continually updated, not as a data storage device.
Have a new or used disk ready to save data to. These can be SK760/880 format disks (or standard MS-
DOS disks for the storage of MIDI files). You can also save MIDI Files to SK760/880 format disks. How
to save MIDI files is discussed in the Disk chapter of the Reference Guide.
Check that the floppy disk is not write protected - if so, remove the protection beforehand. If you forget
to do this, the instrument will prompt you with an appropriate message when you attempt to save to the
disk.
Save operations are characterized by the option of creating of a new Block if necessary.
THE SAVE PROCEDURE
The following example shows how to save the
Song that you recorded with the Quick Rec
method to Disk.
WARNING - Do not save data to the original
disks supplied with the instrument. As a precau-
tionary measure against data loss, always check
that your original disks are write protected. Make
back-up copies of the supplied demo disks and
store the originals in a safe place.
1. Insert the floppy disk into the drive.
2. Press DISK to open the main Save page.
