*These data cannot be saved to the FD or HD (optional) drive individually.
**The Music Finder feature handles all the Records including the preset and additionally created records as a single
file.
■ File groups and folders...............................................................................................
The file types described above are organized into “folders” and stored as such. In the case of
voices, the same type of instrument sounds are stored together as files in their own folders — such
as Piano, Strings, and Trumpet. The similarly organized buttons on the panel can be considered
folders as well, for the various voices and styles.
■ Memory Drives to which folders/files are saved...............................................
Folders and files described above are saved to the following memory drives.
● PRESET drive............ The files that are pre-programmed and installed internally to the TYROS are
kept here. Preset files can be loaded (called up) but cannot be re-written to
the drive, because it uses ROM (Read Only Memory).
● USER drive.................Files kept here are those containing your own original data, created or edited
using the various functions of the TYROS. Since this internal drive uses
Flash ROM, the contents are maintained even when the power is turned off.
● FD drive...................... You can also store your original data to floppy disk. Commercially available
disk software can also be called up here. Naturally, these files are available
only when the appropriate disk is inserted in the floppy disk drive.
● HD drive (optional)...An optional hard disk drive can be installed to the TYROS. Created data can
be saved here and recalled.
