Connecting a MIDI Device
You need only one MIDI cable to connect the MDF3 to an-
other MIDI device.
When you will be using the MDF3 to receive or record data,
plug one end of the cable into the MIDI IN jack on the MDF3
back panel, and the other end into the MIDI OUT jack of the
other device.
To transmit or play back data from the MDF3 , simply reverse
these connections.
If you have two MIDI cables, you can connect the MIDI IN
jack of each device to the MIDI OUT jack of the other. This
convenient arrangement will allow you to avoid the repeated
changing of MIDI cable connections.
Turning the Power On
To turn on the MDF3, simply press the POWER switch on the
rear panel.
The message “YAMAHA MDF3” will appear in the LCD for a
few moments. Then, if there is no disk in the disk drive, this
message will be replaced by the following display:
Insert the 3.5" 2HD/2DD floppy disk that came with your
MDF3 in the disk drive. Be sure to insert the disk with the
label side facing up and the arrow pointing toward the disk
drive.
Push the disk in gently, until you hear it settle into the drive
with a click.
Note:
The MDF3 is capable of using 3.5" 2HD/2DD floppy disks.
Please do not try to use any other type of disk.
