THE DIRECT FD BANK
In addition to the internal memory and DIRECT HD Styles,
you can have DIRECT FD Styles, directly accessed by the
floppy disk.
Just insert a disk, and press the DIRECT FD Style bank. The
disk drive will read the first (in alphabetical order) “.SET”
folder in the floppy disk, and will give you direct access to the
Styles it contains (no loading required).
Note: Reading from floppy disk may take some seconds, before
the Styles are shown.
Browse through the DIRECT FD Styles using the PAGE but-
tons. You can have up to 6 pages, and up to 48 DIRECT FD
Styles in a disk.
Note: Reading from floppy disk is a little slower than reading
from the internal memory or the hard disk. So, there is a chance
that you will have to wait some beats, before the selected
DIRECT FD Style is ready to play. The Style will enter at the
next beginning of measure.
