Floppy Disk
Using the floppy disk drive
Never attempt to shut off the power, or remove a floppy disk
from the drive while the drive is operating (the indicator is lit);
damage could result to both the disk and the drive.
Playing back an SMF file
You can directly play back an SMF file stored on a floppy disk
without having to load it into the RS-70.
This provides a simple way for you to enjoy minus-one
performance —listening to an accompaniment provided by music
data, muting one of the recorded parts, and playing the muted part
yourself. For details on playback methods, refer to
“Playing along
with SMF data (SMF Player mode)” (p. 47).
Disk-related functions (Disk Utility)
Disk mode is where you can perform disk-related functions, such as
loading data from disk into the RS-70’s memory (Load), and loading
SMF data into the current pattern. You can also format a disk or
create a backup disk.
Loading a file from disk into the RS-
70 (LOAD)
This function loads a song on disk into the internal memory. As well
as loading Standard MIDI File data as a pattern, you can also load
previously saved user memory data to quickly restore the previously
saved state of the RS-70.
When you load data for the user memory, the RS-70’s user
memory will be rewritten. If user memory contains important
data, you must save it to disk before you load other data.
Rewriting the entire user memory
Here’s how data that you saved using “Type:ALL” (p. 120) can be
loaded into user memory.
1. Insert a disk into the floppy disk drive.
2. Press [WRITE] while holding down [SHIFT].
3. Use PAGE/CURSOR [ ]/[ ] to select “1:LOAD.”

4. Press [ENTER].
5. Use VALUE [-]/[+] to select “Type:ALL.”
fig.r11-02_40
6. Press PAGE/CURSOR [ ] to go to the next page.
7. Use VALUE [-]/[+] to select the file (.RSU file) that you wish
to load into the user area.

The file name will depend on the file you are loading.
8. Press [ENTER].
If you decide to cancel, press [EXIT].
When the data has been loaded, the display will indicate
“COMPLETED.” This ends the procedure.
Loading user patches
From data that was saved using “Type:ALL” (p. 120), here’s how
you can load just the specified patch(es) into the RS-70’s user patch
memory.
1. Insert a disk into the floppy disk drive.
2. Press [WRITE] while holding down [SHIFT].
3. Use PAGE/CURSOR [ ]/[ ] to select “1:LOAD.”

4. Press [ENTER].
5. Use VALUE [-]/[+] to select “Type:PATCH.”

6. Press PAGE/CURSOR [ ] to go to the next page.
Use VALUE [-]/[+] to select the file that contains the patch you
want to load.

The file name will depend on the file you are loading.
Before you perform Disk Utility operations
In order to perform disk utility operations, you will need a 3.5
inch 2DD or 2HD type disk.
Before using a new disk or one that has been used on another
device, please initialize (format) it on the RS-70. A 3.5” 2DD
disk should be formatted to 720 KB (kilobytes) and a 3.5” 2HD
disk to 1,440 KB. These are standard formats used with most
song data software and computers/instruments. If you save a
pattern created on the RS-70 as a Standard MIDI File, you can
use many devices to play your song.
