Using Floppy Disks
■
Saving, Loading, & Deleting Disk Files
●
Saving to Disk
A single floppy disk can hold up to 99 separate files (depending on the file size). Each file on a disk has a
unique file number (01 through 99) and file name. You can specify both the file number and file name you want
to save to.
When saving data to disk you must also specify a file type according to the type of data you want to save.
The file types are listed below (they’re also listed on the panel in the DISK control section). The “file extension”
is a period and three-character suffix attached to the end of each file name to identify the file type.
Type File Extension Data Saved
All .ALL All data except sampled voices: song, custom accompaniment, multi pad,
registration memory.
Song .SNG The song data currently in the song memory.
Custom Style .STY The current custom style (style no. 00)
Multi Pad .PAD All current multi pad data; pads [1] through [4].
Registration Memory .REG All current registration memory settings; [1] through [8].
Single Voice (PSR-2700) .VCE A single specified sampled voice (the currently selected sampled voice in
the digital sampling section).
Sample Dump (PSR-2700) .VDP All sampled voices currently in the sample memory.
Press the [FILE #] button and use the [+] and [–] buttons, the number
buttons, the data dial, or the [FILE #] button itself to specify the file
number you want to save to.
CAUTION
• If you select a file number that already contains data, the original
data will be erased and replaced by the new data!

NOTES
• In the case of a Single Voice (.VCE) the currently selected sampled
voice number will be saved with the sampled voice data. The same
sampled voice number will then be automatically selected when the
voice is loaded (the load destination voice number can be changed as
required).
If an appropriate disk is not already in the drive, insert the disk you want
to save the data to. If necessary, format the disk as described in the previous
section before proceeding.
NOTES
• When a formatted disk is inserted the amount of space remaining on
the disk is displayed in kilobytes.
Press the [SAVE PART] button and use the [+] and [–] buttons, the
number buttons, the data dial, or the [SAVE PART] button itself to specify
the file type that you want to save.
