Saving Songs

A recorded performance is discarded when you switch off the power or choose another song. Storing recorded performances and other data to floppy disks or the Favorites is called “saving.” Be sure to save important songs to floppy disks or Favorites.

What are “Favorites?”

You can register songs you are currently practicing or particularly like to “Favorites,” allowing you to select these songs easily (p. 80).

When you register a song on a floppy disk to Favorites, you can then play back the song without inserting the floppy disk in the disk drive.

If a recorded performance is saved to Favorites, the performance won’t be erased when the power is turned off.

Preparations for Saving Data

When saving to floppy disks, first check to make sure that the floppy disk’s protect tab is set to the “Write” position (p. 114), then insert the floppy disk in the disk drive.

1. Press the [Disk] button.

2. Touch <File>.

3. Touch <Save>.

The following “Save Song screen” appears.

When using a new floppy disk, first initialize (format) the floppy disk on the KR. Take a look at “Formatting Floppy Disks (Format)” (p. 114).

NOTE

Some commercially available music files cannot be saved because they are copy protected.

If not handled with care, a floppy disk can be damaged, or the data on it become corrupted, making playback impossible. We recommend saving your songs on two different floppy disks.

When you want to clear all of the content saved to the “Favorites” and restore the settings to the original factory condition on the KR, refer to “Formatting the User Memory” (p. 165).
