Using SmartMedia™ Memory Reference

Saving Data

Three types of data are saved to one “User Data File” by this operation: user song, style file (style number 136), and registration memory data. When you save a user song the style file and registration memory are also saved automati- cally.

1 Make sure that a properly formatted Smart- Media card has been properly inserted into the instrument’s card slot, and that the file control icon is showing in the MAIN display. If the icon is not showing change the Media Select setting to SmartMedia.

2 Press the [FILE CONTROL] button.

3 Use the CATEGORY [f ] and [r ] buttons to locate the User File Save item.

A default file name will automatically be created.

●To Overwrite an Existing File

If you want to overwrite a file that already exists on the SmartMedia card, use the dial or the [+] and [-] buttons to select the file, then skip ahead to step 6.

NOTE

•Up to 100 user files can be saved to a single SmartMedia card.

•If the SmartMedia card has been write-protected, an appropriate message will appear on the display and you will not be able to exe- cute the operation.

•If there is not enough capacity left on the card to save the data an appropriate message will appear on the display and you will not be able to save the data. Erase unwanted files from the card to make more memory available (page 77), or use a different card.

•Refer to the “Messages” list on page 91 for other possible errors that might prevent you from completing the operation.

4 Press the [EXECUTE] button. A cursor will appear below the first character in the file name.

5 Change the file name as necessary.

•The [-] button moves the cursor to the left, and the [0] button moves it to the right.

NOTE

•If an existing filename is specified the display prompts you for confir- mation. Press [EXECUTE] or [+] if it is OK to overwrite the file, or [-] to cancel.
