6. DISK OPERATIONS

The CN4’s floppy disk drive provides a convenient way to playback songs recorded in Standard MIDI File (SMF) format. There are many sources of SMF songs, including disks for sale from professional musicians and publishers, songs shared among musicians and hobbyists, and Internet sites that feature SMF songs available for download. Also the Disk Recorder gives you the ability to record on up to 16 independent tracks separately.

Insert a floppy disk in the drive and press the DISK button. The
