ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Thank you very much for purchasing the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF1.
The MDF1
is an extremely practical MIDI Data Recorder capable of storing various types
of MIDI information such as voice data from a DX-series synthesizer or sequencing data
from OX-series sequencers. To do so, it uses convenient Quick Disks, which measure
only 2,8 inches across.
In order to make full use of the MDF1's many superb features and to ensure years of
satisfactory service, please read through this manual carefully before operating your new
MIDI Data Filer.
FEATURES
* The MDF1 is capable of storing system exclusive messages received from other Yamaha
equipment
on Quick
Disks. The following are examples
of such system
exclusive
messages:
* Voice
data and
performance
data from
DX-series
synthesizers,
TX-series
tone
generators, etc.
* Sequence data from OX-series sequencers.
* Pattern data and song data from RX-series rhythm machines.
* A maximum of 59.9 kilobytes of data (in up to 19 files) can be stored on each side
of a Quick Disk.
* The MDF1
offers a host of practical features for editing. For example, you can delete
data, check the remaining disk memory space, and copy data to other disks.
* Data processing is much faster than with conventional cassette data recorders, and
operation is simple and reliable.
