Saving Files

You can use the procedures in this section to save Song Memory, Synthesizer, and other data you create to external storage media for later loading when you need it. See “Savable File Types” on page E-92 for information about the type of data you can save.

PREPARATION

SmartMedia Card

Insert a properly formatted SmartMedia card into the keyboard’s card slot. Make sure that the sticker is removed from the card’s write area, which enables writing.

Floppy Diskette (WK-3500 Only)

Insert a properly formatted floppy diskette into the keyboard’s floppy disk drive. Make sure that the diskette’s write protect hole is closed, which enables writing.

NOTE

Depending on the type and the amount of data involved, a SmartMedia card or floppy diskette (WK-3500 only) data save or load operation can take anywhere from a few minutes to more than 10 minutes to complete. The message “Pls Wait” will remain on the display to indicate that a data save or load operation is being performed.

IMPORTANT!

Never try to perform any operation while “Pls Wait” is displayed. Performing any operation can cause Flash memory or SmartMedia card or floppy diskette data to be deleted, and damage the keyboard’s memory and cause it to malfunction.
