3 Press the PLAY/STOP button.
The PLAY/STOP lamp flashes rapidly, and data begins to transfer from internal memory to the USB memory. As the data format is also changed during transfer, the transfer process may take some time (3 to 4 minutes for a 65 kilobyte file). The REC lamp goes out and the PLAY/STOP lamp lights pale orange when transfer is complete.
Note
•The data is stored as “USERSONG**.MID” in a folder named “USER FILES” on the USB memory. You can store up to 50 songs in this manner. “**” can be any number from 00 to 49, and increases sequentially as files are saved.
•The unit will inform you that it cannot save any further songs when songs accumulate and the filenames reach “USERSONG49.MID”.
•Attempting to save files when there are one or more files with the file names “USERSONG50.MID” through “USERSONG99.MID” in the folder will result in an error, and you will be unable to save the data.
•You cannot delete files from this unit. Please connect the USB memory to a computer if you want to delete a file.
Caution
When transferring data from the USB memory to a computer, previously saved files may be overwritten if they have the same file names as the files being transferred. If you do not want to overwrite these files, take measures to prevent this from happening, such as changing the names of the files.
Playing Back Songs from USB Memory
Carrying out playback operations when USB memory is inserted into this unit plays back songs stored in the USB memory (see “Playing Back the Song Recorded in Internal Memory” on page 10).
With the USB memory inserted into this unit, press the PLAY/STOP button.
If no saved file is found in the USB memory, and another playable file (a standard MIDI file) exists, the unit begins playback of that file. If no such file exists, the unit returns to its normal state.
Note
•The unit plays back the “USERSONG**.MID” file with the highest number in the “**” section among those stored in the “USER FILES” folder. Normally, the unit will play back the last song saved to the USB memory (the file with the largest number between 00 and 49 in its file name). However, when files with numbers between 50 and 99 in this section of their file name are present in the folder, the unit plays back the file with the largest such number. When none of the above files are present, the unit looks for MIDI files contained in the “USER FILES” folder, the root directory, and other folders (up to two levels deep), and plays them back in the order they were transferred to the USB memory.
•See “MIDI File Playback Sequence” on page 22 for details on playback order.
