IMPORTANT!

The initial default configuration for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 is to hide file name extensions. Perform one of the following operations on your computer to show file name extensions.

To show file name extensions under Windows XP

1.Open the folder you want.

2.On the [Tools] menu, click [Folder Options].

3.Click the [View] tab. In the [Advanced settings] list, clear the check box next to [Hide extensions for known file types].

4.Click [OK].

To show file name extensions under Windows Vista or Windows 7

1.Open Folder Options by clicking the [Start] button, clicking [Control Panel], clicking [Appearance and Personalization], and then clicking [Folder Options].

2.Click the [View] tab. Under [Advanced settings] clear the [Hide extensions for known file types] check box.

3.Click [OK].

To load a song into user song memory (Music Library 61)

1.Copy the file (.MID or .CM2) you want to load into user song memory to the MUSICLIB folder.

2.Change the name of the file to BIDSNG01, with a file name extension of .MID or .CM2.

If there are two files with the names BIDSNG01.MID and BIDSNG01.CM2 in the MUSICLIB folder, only the BIDSNG01.MID data will be loaded into user song memory. If you want the BIDSNG01.CM2 file to be loaded in this case, change the name of the BIDSNG01.MID to something else.

NOTE

The message “Cannot rename MIDIDATA” will appear on your computer screen if you try to change the name of the copied file to BIDSNG01.MID while there is already a file in the MUSICLIB folder named BIDSNG01.MID. Change the name of the current BIDSNG01.MID to something else and then rename the copied file to BIDSNG01.MID.

To transfer Recorder memory data between the digital piano and your computer

To transfer the digital piano’s current Recorder memory data to your computer, copy the contents of the RECORDER folder to your computer.

To return Recorder data you previously saved to your computer back to Recorder memory, copy it back to the RECORDER folder (and replace the current RECORDER folder contents).
