disks on the M3” on page 634)
Recording/playback of CD-DA (audio) data and
reading of ISO9660 (level 1) format is also
supported.
• Floppy disks
MS-DOS format 3.5 inch 2HD and 2DD floppy
disks can be used. The formatted capacity of the
floppy disks will be 1.44 MB (18 sectors/track) for
2HD, and 720 KB (9 sectors/track) for 2DD.
For details on connecting devices to the USB A
connectors, please see page 33.
These types of media are not included. You will
need to purchase them separately. (See page 223)
Media setup
This section explains how to make the M3 recognize
media so that data can be saved on it.
Setup for using a USB storage device
1. Use a USB cable to connect the USB port of your
USB storage device (commercially available hard
disk, removable disk, CD-R/RW) to the USB A
connector of the M3.
Note: The M3’s USB A connectors support hot-
plugging; you can connect or disconnect the USB cable
while the power is on. However in order to do so, your
USB storage device must also support hot-plugging.
2. Turn on the power of the M3.
3. Turn on the power of your USB storage device, and
use a USB cable to connect the USB port of your
USB storage device to the USB A connector of the
M3.
Note: The above step assumes that your USB device
supports hot-plugging. If you are using a device that
does not support hot-plugging, connect it with the
power turned off. Then turn on the power.
While the M3 is accessing the USB device, do not
connect another USB device or disconnect the
connected device. Doing so may damage your
data.
4. Press the MODE MEDIA switch to enter Media
mode.
5. Press the Media Info tab, and then execute the
menu command “Scan USB device.”
6. Use Media Select to select your media.
If you are using a removable disk, insert the media.
After you exchange media in your USB device, press
the display to make the M3 detect the media. When the
media has been detected, information about the media
will appear on the display.
7. If the media needs to be formatted, execute the
Format operation.
Media requiring formatting is indicated as
Unformatted in Media Select. For details, please see
“Formatting media” on page 148.
How to save data
As an example here, we’ll execute Save All to save the
.PCG, .SNG, .KSC, .KMP, and .KSF files.
“Save All” saves all internal memory Programs,
Combinations, Drum Kits, Global settings, RADIAS
Formant Motions (if the optional EXB-RADIAS is
installed), and drum track user patterns to media as a
.PCG file. It also saves songs and cue lists as a .SNG
file, and multisamples and samples created in
Sampling mode as a .KSC file.
This method is available only if the current directory is
a DOS directory.
If you save this data to low-capacity media, you
may need more than one media.
1. Prepare the media on which you want to save the
data. (See “Media setup” on page 143)
2. Press the MODE MEDIA switch to enter Media
mode.
3. Access the Media– Save page. Press the Save tab.
4. Press Media Select to select the save-destination
drive.
5. If the media contains directories, select the
directory in which you want to save the data.
Press the Open button to move to a lower level, or
press the Up button to move to an upper level.
Note: If you are saving data on high-capacity media,
we recommend that you create directories to organize
the media into sections.
To create a new directory, move to the level at which
you want to create the directory, and execute the
Utility menu command Create Directory.
6. Press the menu button to access the menu, and
press Save All.
A dialog box will appear. The contents, settings, and
operations for the dialog box will depend on the type
of data that you are saving.
