and the QY700.
• Disk mode contains the following five groups of operations,
which are accessed by the function keys 1 (save) –
6 (Format).
1 (Save) lets you save data to floppy disk. (→ p.307)
2 (Load) lets you load files from floppy disk. (→

different types of data. Use the direct cursor keys d

the applicable types of data.
d [D1] (All Data) handles all data of the QY700’s

d [D2] (Style) handles data such as the 8 patterns
within a style or 99 phrases as a single file.
