Copying a Midi File from Hard Disk or from Floppy Disk

In SONG PLAY the call-up, search and copying procedures of the Midi-files may be performed
while the instrument is playing.
To call-up a Song or Midi-file from Disk:
Press the SONG PLAY key.

Select the Hard or Floppy disk drive using the
2
Page +/ - keys.
Select the name of the folder desired using the
3
Cursor < > keys (in the case of Hard Disk).
Press F5 Dir to display the list of Midi-files stored

in the Folder or in the Floppy disk selected.
The display shows 20 midi-files for each display,
arranged in two columns.
If the midi-files in the folder (or in the floppy disk),
are more than 20 (this is enhanced by the arrows below
the name of the last midi-file), press the Value + - key
to display the rest of the directory.
Select the number of the Song desired using the
5
Select keys. The number of the Songs is always
made up of three figures, as up to 999 Midi-files
may be sent to a single Folder of the Hard Disk. The number is placed to the left of the
name of the Song within the directory.
Note: The selection of Songs having a number below 100 ( i.e. no. 9 or no. 47) may be made by
entering the relative single figure or the two figures alone. In this case however, the stand-by time of
the Song will be slightly longer.
The display will show the number and name of the Song.
Press Start/Stop to start or stop the copying of the Song.

Automatic Search System of midi-files

If hundreds of Midi-files are grouped together in one folder, these would be displayed in the direc-
tory in alphabetical order. It would therefore be difficult to search for the song in this manner, and
not very practical (especially when playing live).
This problem may be solved using the Automatic Search System of the midi-file.
After having stopped the Song or while the Song is playing, press F5 Dir.

The instrument returns to the directory of the midi-files within the folder (or Floppy).
Together with the midi-files directory, a rectangle will be displayed, situated below "Hard"
or "Floppy Disk", in which a flashing cursor is seen.
The automatic search of the songs may be executed from this position.
Enter, using the keyboard keys (from note C2 to note F5), the initial letter of the song title

desired. This letter will appear inside the rectangle with the flashing cursor and the directory
