Saving a song to floppy disk
Songs you record with the MR-200 can
either be saved to an internal memory (see
page 22) or to a floppy disk. The internal
memory has the advantage that you don’t
need a floppy disk. But if the memory area is
damaged, you lose all songs it contained. It
would therefore be a good idea to save
important songs both in an internal mem-
ory and to a floppy disk as a safety precau-
tion.
Though you can use 2DD floppies, 2HD
disks have twice the capacity of 2DD disks,
so use 2HDs whenever you can.
Whenever the disk drive writes data to or
reads data from disk, the drive’s indicator
flashes.
Do not remove the floppy disk
while this indicator is flashing
as that may
damage both the disk drive and the disk (so
that it becomes unreadable).
A song saved to disk becomes a Standard
MIDI File.
A
Insert a disk into the drive.
The disk’s metal shutter must point towards
the drive and the disk label must be visible.
If your disk is not formatted yet, you must do so
now. See page 39.
Every floppy contains a square tab that
allows you to “close” a little window. With
the tab in that position, you can save data to
the disk. Do not forget to write-enable the
disk by closing this little window prior to
inserting the floppy disk.
