Disk-Related Functions (Disk Utility)

Disk mode performs disk-related functions such as loading data
from disk into the Fantom's memory (Load), and saving a song or
sound generator settings to disk (Save). You can also format a disk or
create a backup disk in this mode.
Before You Perform Disk Utility Operations
In order to perform disk utility operations, you will need a 3.5
inch 2DD or 2HD type disk.
Before using a new disk or one that has been used on another
device, please initialize (format) it on the Fantom. A 3.5" 2DD
disk should be formatted to 720 K bytes and 3.5" 2HD disk to
1440 K bytes. These are standard formats used with most song
data software and computers/instruments. If you save a song
created on the Fantom as a Standard MIDI File, you can use
many devices to play your song.
