Here, you can load the selected file or directory into internal 
memory. Use the 

Open button

 and 

Up buttons

 to select the 

desired file or directory, and press the Load button to load it. 
You can also load data by using the 

Load selected

 menu 

command.

Open 

When you press the Open button, the directory will open, 
and the current directory will move one level downward.

This can be used when a directory has been selected in the 
directory window.

Up 

When you press the Up button, the directory will move one 
level upward.

Load 

This command loads the file or directory that was selected in 
the “Directory Window” (Media 0–1c) into the internal 
memory.

When you press the Load button, a dialog box will appear. 
The specific contents of the dialog box will depend on the 
file you are loading. This is the same function as the 

Load 

selected

 menu command.

For more information, please see “Load selected” on 
page 263.

PCG Preview

If you selected just a single program, combination, or drum 
kit from within a .PCG file (i.e., from an opened bank), you 
can listen to the sound directly from the media without 
having to load the file. If you’ve selected a combination, the 
timbres in the combination will use the M50’s internal 

programs. In the case of a user drum kit, the sound 
parameters of the program that was selected before entering 
Media mode will be used.

0–1b: Current Directory

Current Directory

The directory currently selected for processing is referred to 
as the “current directory.”

The display will show the full path name of the directory. A 
slash “/” character is used as the delimiter between 
directory levels. To change the current directory, use the 
Open button and Up button (Media 0–1a).

0–1c: Directory Window

This shows file information for the current directory. You 
can select a file or directory in this window.

Type

The icon indicates the type of file.

For details on how the icons correspond to the different file 
types, please see the diagram “Files that can be loaded” on

This is the size of the file, in bytes.

Date

This is the date and time at which the file was saved. From 
the left, this is shown as day, month, year, hours and min-
utes.
However since the M50 does not contain an internal calen-
dar or clock, you must use Utility menu command
