Memory Disks

Besides floppy disks and CDs, the Disklavier has 64 megabytes (4 megabytes 16 Memory Disks) of internal flash memory for storing song data.

They are numbered from 0 to 9 and A to F. They can be used in the same way that you use floppy disks to store songs.

Memory Disks are ideal for storing many songs, especially when you want to program your Disklavier to automatically play back many songs with the Chain Play or Timer Play features. (See Chapter 2 “Chain Play — Playing Back Memory Disks in a Group” and Chapter 3 “Timer Play” in the Advanced Operation Manual for details.)

See also Chapter 1 “Storing & Managing Songs on Disks” in the Advanced Operation Manual for more information on using Memory Disks.
