Selecting Music Styles

The EXR-46 OR provides three memory areas for Music Styles:
USER STL: (Memory 000) This is where a Music Style loaded
from the Flash memory or floppy disk (MSA, MSD and MSE
series, optional) is temporarily stored. The data in this RAM
memory are erased when you switch off the EXR-46 OR.
MAKSOUM (001~008), SAIDI (009~013), MASRI (014~
025), MALFOUF (026~028), ARABI (029~035), TRADIT
(036~049), OR-WORLD (050~066), KHALIGI (067~088),
TURKISH (089~099): These are the Style families in the
EXR-46 OR's internal ROM memory. These Styles cannot be
erased (but you can modify them in realtime using the Band
Orchestrator function, see page 17).
FLASH: (Memories 101~150) This is a Flash area inside the
EXR-46 OR that already contains 50 Styles when the EXR-46 OR
is shipped. You can expand the number of Styles in this area by
copying more Styles from your computer (via USB) or by saving
the Styles loaded from disk. There are 99 Flash memory slots in
all, but the actual number of Styles you can save there depends
on the data size of the Styles.
DISK: (Memories 201~...) This area refers to a floppy disk you
inserted into the EXR-46 OR's drive. The number of available
Styles depends on the floppy disk, of course. The Style you select
is transferred to the EXR-46 OR's USER STL memory (see
above), which is why it takes a little longer before you can use
it. (You could, however, save it to a Flash memory, see p. 49.)
