Switching On The Power; Playing The Demo Songs - Yamaha AN1x Owner's Manual

Connecting The AN1x To
A MIDI Data Storage
Device
You can connect the AN1x to a MIDI data storage
device, such as the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer, in
order to "bulk dump", or save AN1x voice, Step
Sequencer and other data to floppy disks. This lets you
build up complete libraries of your favorite sounds,
sequences and settings, which you can easily load
back into the AN1x whenever you wish.
