Just insert a disk, with Styles contained in the "DIRECTFD.SET"
folder, and press the DIRECT FD Style bank button. The disk
drive will read the "DIRECTFD.SET" folder's content, and will
give you direct access to the Styles (no loading required).
Note: Reading from floppy disk may take some seconds, before the
Styles are shown.
When the Style Select window opens, browse through the
DIRECT FD Styles. There are up to 12 pages, and up to 96
DIRECT FD Style locations in a disk.

the internal memory or the hard disk. So, there is a chance that you
will have to wait some beats, before the selected DIRECT FD Style
is ready to play. The Style will start at the next beginning of mea-
