Displaying The Track Buttons; Playing Back Performance Songs Stored On Floppy Disk And Smf Music Files - Roland Atelier AT-90SL Owner's Manual

Chapter 7 Recording/Playing Back What You Play
During recording, the control track will store the operations
as follows.
• Recording panel operations (Voice selections, Tempo
changes, etc.)
Newly recorded performance data will be added
without erasing the previously recorded data.
• Recording expression pedal operations
This will depend on the function of the expression pedal.
Recording of expression operations will differ
depending on the setting for "Exp. Src (Rec)."
For details refer to "Changing the Function of the
Expression Pedal" (p. 187).
If you wish to erase all the recorded data and record new
performance data, use the editing function "Erase" (erase
performance data) to erase the data (p. 169).

Songs Stored on Floppy Disk
and SMF Music Files
In addition to playing back the music you recorded on the
instrument and saved to a floppy disk, AT-90SL also lets you
enjoy a wide variety of commercially available song files,
such as defined below.
SMF Music Files
The Standard MIDI File (SMF) format was designed to
provide a means for exchanging performance data
among a wide variety of devices. In addition to the song
files described earlier, the AT-90SL is also capable of
playing back any Standard MIDI File compatible with
the General MIDI 2 or GS formats.
To play back only one song

NOTE
Never eject a disk while reading or writing is in progress,
since that can damage the magnetic surface of the disk,
rendering it unusable. (The disk drive's indicator will light
up at full brightness when the drive is busy reading or
writing data. Ordinarily, the indicator will be less brightly lit,
or be extinguished.)
