Using SmartMedia

The ES-1 allows you to use SmartMedia to save or load internal
data.
Samples (WAVE files, AIFF files) you create on your computer
can also be loaded into the ES-1.
The ES-1 can use 3 V (3.3V) SmartMedia of 4 MB — 64 MB.

If a write protect label is affixed to the SmartMedia, data
cannot be saved. In this case, remove the write protect
label from the SmartMedia before executing Save.
Never turn off the power or remove the SmartMedia while
Save or Format is being executed. Doing so may render
the SmartMedia unusable.
Approximately 4 Mbytes of space is required to save one
file. Saving will not be possible if there is insufficient space
on the SmartMedia.
Loading all data from SmartMedia

Here's how to load all ES-1 Pattern data, Song data, Sample
data, and Global data from SmartMedia.

2. Hold down the shift key and press step key 15 (Card).
3. The display will indicate "Lod." Press key 15.
4. The display will show a file number. Use the dial to select a
file number 1—9 (file "[E]" is not an ES-1 file, so do not select
it here), and then press key 15.

the Load operation. (Key 15 will light, and the Write key will
blink.) The loading progress will be shown by the step keys
