Using an SD Memory Card

Playing Back a File Stored on an SD Memory Card

Playback of SMF format data and song data converted using SMF conversion software to CASIO CM2 format.

IMPORTANT!

Note the following important precautions whenever playing back a data file you copied to a memory card with a computer.

To perform the procedure below, you must have an SD memory card to which an SMF data file has been copied from a computer. Insert an SD memory card that has been formatted on the digital piano into the memory card slot of your computer, and copy the data file you want to play back from your computer into the memory card folder named “MUSICDAT”. Note that you will not be able to play back the data on the digital piano if it is not located inside the “MUSICDAT” folder. If you create a sub-folder inside of the “MUSICDAT” folder, the digital piano will not be able to load any data file inside the sub- folder.

After you select a song data, it can take a number of seconds for the song data to be loaded. While the data is being loaded, the song number will flash on the display, and the keyboard keys and button operations will be disabled. If you are playing something on the keyboard, the following operation will cause output to stop.

1. Press the CARD button.

The CARD button lamp will light and a file number will appear on the display.

5. After you are finished using the SD memory card, press the CARD button so its lamp turns off.

NOTE

You can change tempo, volume, and pre-count settings for playback. See “Other Settings” on page E-25 for more information.

IMPORTANT!

Never turn off the digital piano or perform any other operation while data is being recalled from an SD memory card.
