Using a SmartMedia Card

Getting Ready

IMPORTANT!

•Before you can use a SmartMedia card with this keyboard, you need to perform the procedure below to format it. After formatting the card, transfer SMF data from your computer to the card.

•Formatting a SmartMedia card with this keyboard automatically creates a folder named “MUSICDAT” on the card. When transferring SMF data from your computer to the card for use by the keyboard, be sure to store it in the “MUSICDAT” folder.

•Note that formatting a card that already contains data causes all of that data to be deleted. Data deleted by the format operation cannot be recovered. Before performing the procedure below, check to make sure that the media does not contain any data you might need.

PREPARATION

•Insert the SmartMedia card you want to format into the keyboard’s card slot. Make sure that the sticker is removed from the card’s write area, which enables writing.
