OPERATION
A. OUTLINE OF THE MKS-SO
The MKS-80 is a polyphonic synthesizer moduie
that can be played by the MIDI music messages sent
from the external device.
If the MKS-80 is properly set up with a device
transmitting MIDI music messages, it will be ready
to be played by powered on. There are 64 tone
colors (we call them Tone Memories) and 64 com¬
bination programs of a tone color (or a pair of tone
colors) and various effect and mode settings (we call
them Patch Presets) preprogrammed in the MKS-80's
memory which can be recalled to be used just by
pressing buttons.
Also, these Tone Memories and Patch Presets can be
edited as you like. This editing operation, however,
does not automatically rewrite the existing tone
color. If you wish to write the edited tone color,
appropriate writing operation is required.

Protect Switch
The supplied Memory Cartridge M-64C can be effec¬
tively used to expand the memory capacity. The
M-64C has two separate blocks A and B, and can
retain 64 different Tone Memories and Patc^ Presets
in each block. The cartridge memory can be used
exactly like the internal memory of the MKS-80.
You may consider it as a part of internal memory.
Be sure that the Protect Switch on the Cartridge is
set to the ON position when connecting it to the
MKS-80 or disconnecting, otherwise the data in
memory might be damaged. Securely insert the
Cartridge to the Cartridge Holder ® of the MKS-
80 with its Protect Switch facing upward.
* To prevent accidental loss of the data, set the
Protect Switch to the ON position except for
when writing new data.
* Refer to Patch Preset and Tone Memory on page
