The Disk Drive is a device used to transfer data from and to Floppy Disks. Floppy Disks can be stored to create an
external library of Songs, Styles, Performances and Samples. A disk drive reads from and saves to 3,5” Floppy
Disks that can respectively store up to 720 kb (2DD disks) and 1,44 Mb (2HD disks). (1,44 Mb) and Atari ST/Falcon
(720 kb) are recognized formats to exchange Midi Files.
