4.Move files to or from the C-720 and the personal comput- er as you would with any other USB drive. When moving files, consider the following:

Warning: Do not turn the C-720 off before disconnecting it from the personal computer. Doing so, could damage the C- 720’s memory content, and cause malfunctioning on your personal computer.

Data inside the C-720’s memory are organized in four folders (also called ‘sub-directories’). Each folder contains a different type of data created by yourself. The different data is explained in the following table.

the internal recorder, or created with an external

 

sequencer. You can copy from the computer to this

 

folder songs in Standard MIDI File format (files

 

with the “.MID” extension). To select the correct

 

sounds on the C-720, imported songs must comply

 

with the General MIDI (GM) standard. Not all GM

 

sounds can be played, since C-720 includes only a

 

subset of the GM standard.

5.After data transfer is completed, remove the KORG SSD icon from the computer desktop. Please refer to your com- puter’s documentation for any care on ejecting/removing USB storage devices. However, here is what you should commonly do:

On a Windows PC: Right-click the KORG SSD icon dis- played in the right side of your computer’s taskbar. In the menu that appears, left-click “Stop USB disk driver (drive name).” Make sure that a message indicating that the “USB disk may be disconnected safely” is displayed. At this point, the C-720 should have been automatically dis- connected from your personal computer, and the Enable command should appear again in the C-720’s display, meaning connection has been deactivated.

On a Mac: Drag the KORG SSD icon over the Eject icon

on the Dock (Mac OS 9: drag it to the trashcan on the desktop), and wait until the icon disappears. When it is no longer shown, go to the C-720 and press the -/NO button to deactivate data connection. The C-720 will be reinitial- ized, and the Enable command will appear in the display again, meaning connection has been deactivated.

6.When the Enable command appears in the display again, the USB connection has been safely turned off.
