Floppy Disk Operations

The Concert Performer has a built-in 3.5” floppy disk drive that can read and write to double-density (720KB) or high-density (1.4MB) disks. These are the exact same disks that are used with your personal computer. You can use floppy disks to quickly and easily build up an extensive library of Concert Performer data that can be shared with other CP owners.

There are many companies who specialize in just making MIDI song files of popular and traditional tunes that can be purchase on floppy disk. In fact, these days almost any popular song that you can think of has probably been turned into a MIDI file by someone! Many publishers of piano lesson books now provide the music on floppy

disk so the student may play along. This can greatly assist the learning process. Finally, there are numerous sites on theWorld Wide Web dedicated to the sharing and selling of MIDI music that can be downloaded and played on your Concert Performer instrument. For instructions on how to use one of these Song Disks on your CP, see “Playing Songs from a Floppy Disk” on page 102.

The CP comes with a special program called Style Converter on a floppy disk. This allows you to convert Styles that were made for a number of other manufacturers’ machines, and use them as if they were designed for the CP. See the separate instructions that came with the Style Converter disk for additional information.
