Song Play - Direct from Disk

PS1500 can also play a preselected Song or MidiFile directly from disk.

The Demo disk supplied with PS1500 contains a PS1500 format Song.

If you have a Standard MIDI File data disk, you can use this instead of the supplied disk.

“Direct-from-disk” is particularly useful for Song files that are larger than the available sequencer memory.

1.Insert the disk into the PS1500 disk drive.

2.Press the DISK button.
