The PR-300S uses standard 3.5" computer
("floppy") disks, either HD (High Density) or DD
(Double Density). If possible, it's best to use HD
disks, because they have more storage space, and
some disk functions will be a little quicker than with
DD disks.

(2) Press [SAVE].
If the song has been saved before, the PR-300S wilI
display the Song Name and ask "Save Sure?".
If you want to name the song, press [TEMPO] to
move the cursor to the second line and then use the
[<] and [>] buttons and alpha-dial to name your
song. The name can be up to 12 characters in
length and can use any combination of upper case,
lower case and special characters available. Press
[ENTER] to enter the name of the song.
If the song has not been saved before, you'lI have
the opportunity to do so. You don't have to name
the song if you don't want to (if you don't, the song
will be represented by the number listed at the
beginning of the first line).
NOTE: To save your song as an SMF, press and
hold the [STOP] button and then press the
[SAVEl button. Saving your song as a Standard
MIDI File gives your song data a greater degree
of compatibility with other MIDI devices and
sequencers. Note also that SMFs cannot be
saved on a disk that already contains ISM data,
or data in native PR·300S format (the message
"Disk not for SMF Can Not Save"
will
appear).
To save a song to disk:
Make sure the disk's Write Protect Tab is set to
"Write". If you haven't formatted the disk yet, see
"Formatting a Disk" later in this section.

Insert a formatted 3.5" disk into the disk drive.
When the PR-300S displays an asterisk
(*)
in
front of the Song Name, this means that the song
currently in memory has been changed and needs to
be saved if you want to retain the current version.
If you turn the PR-300S off with the asterisk
showing, any changes made since the last Save to
disk will be lost. If the song has never been saved and
the PR-300S is turned off, the entire song will be lost.
The PR-300S has a number of disk functions
which allow you to save songs to disk, copy one or
more songs on a disk, delete songs off a disk or
format disks for PR-300S use.
