Press the [SF5] button to register the device and folder selected in step #1 (the folder containing the desired files for auto loading).

5 Turn the power off.

6 Before turning the power on next time, make sure that the appropriate data is available to the MOTIF. In other words, make sure memory card specified in step #1 is properly inserted, or that the SCSI device specified in step #1 is properly connected.

7 Turn the power on. The MOTIF searches the device and specified folder for the auto-load files (the files you named and saved in step #1), and automatically loads them to User memory.

nAny files in the device and folder registered in step #4 that do not have appropriate auto-load names are ignored.

■File names

Files are named according to the MS-DOS naming convention. If the file name contains spaces and other characters unrecognized in MS-DOS, these characters will automatically be replaced by “_” (underscore) characters when saving.

For specific instructions on naming files, see page 267.
