How To Save Songs; Before Using Floppy Disks (Format) - Roland MT-300S Owner's Manual

How to Save Songs

Recorded songs are deleted when the MT 300s is turned off. Furthermore, you cannot
select a different song until you delete the recorded performance. Thus, you will want
to save your important works to a floppy disk.
You can create your own original music files when you save recorded performances to floppy
MEMO
disks. Be sure to check out the many ways you can use floppy disks.

Before Using Floppy Disks (Format)

Before a floppy disk can ever be used for saving songs with the MT 300s, you must
"format" the disk.
The deleting of data on a floppy disk and preparing the disk for the equipment it is to
be used with is known as "formatting." Floppy disks cannot be used on the MT 300s
without changing the disk's format to that of the MT 300s.
Formatting erases all the data stored on the floppy disk. When formatting a previously used
NOTE
floppy disk for reuse, make sure that it is all right to format the disk.
NOTE
Before using the disk drive for the first time, be sure to read the related precautions on p.5.
