Saving your song internally

Before switching your MR-200 off, you need to
save the piece (which the MR-200 calls a
"song"). The MR-200 has 99 internal memo-
ries.
Depending on the length and complexity (number of
tracks, etc.), the number of available internal memo-
ries may be less than 99. The total memory capacity is
indeed fixed and used for all data in all internal mem-
ory locations. So, if your first 32 songs (for example)
are extremely long and contain lots of notes, the
remaining 67 internal locations may no longer be
available.
Saving your songs internally has the advantage
that you don't need a floppy disk. However, we
strongly recommend to also save your impor-
tant recordings to floppy disk as a safety pre-
caution. See page 37.

lowing function:

F Repeat step E to complete your name.
To correct a previously entered char-
acter, press [TRACK] and use the
[VALUE] knob.
G When you are happy with your name, press
the [VALUE] knob.
The display now responds with:
If "Int Memory Full" is displayed,
your song is too big for the remaining mem-
ory capacity. In that case, you can save your
song to floppy disk (see page 37) or delete
an internal song you no longer need (see
page 38) and then repeat the above.
