8. After inputting the file name, press the ENTER button to start the save operation.

If the diskette already contains a file with the name you spec- ified in step 7, the message “Replace?” appears, asking if you want to replace the existing file with the new one. Press the YES button to replace the existing file, or NO to return to step 7 of this procedure.

The message “Pls Wait” remains on the display while the file save operation is being performed.

IMPORTANT!

Do not perform any key operation while the message “Pls Wait” is on the display. In particular, never turn off keyboard power. Doing so can cause all data on the disk to become corrupted and unus- able.

Sudden power loss due to low battery power during the data save operation can corrupt the data on a diskette. Because of this, use of the specified AC adaptor is recommended whenever you are saving data to diskette.

9. The message “Complete” appears on the display for about one second when the data save operation is complete.

The keyboard returns to step 5 of this procedure after the “Complete” message clears from the display.

Repeat steps 5 through 9 if you want to save more data.

After you finish your diskette operations, press the DISK button so the indicator lamp above it goes out. Next, press the eject button to eject the diskette, and then remove it by hand.

NOTES

When saving registration memory data or all data, simply skip step 6 of the above procedure.

See “Letters and Numerals” on page E-36 for the characters that can be input for the file name.

We recommend that you make a separate record of the names of files and their contents to make it easier to find the data you need when you need it.

To exit the disk operation screens at any time during the above proce- dure, press the DISK button so the indicator lamp above it goes out.

When saving Pattern type data (single user rhythm), each file can hold a maximum of about 5,000 notes. To save a user rhythm pattern that has more than 5,000 notes, select All in step 5 of the above procedure to save all keyboard data. See “File Name Extensions” on page E-70 for details on the extensions appended to file names.

8. The message “Complete” appears on the display for about one second when the data load operation is complete.

The keyboard returns to step 4 of the above procedure after the “Complete” message clears from the display.

Repeat steps 4 through 8 if you want to load more data.
