Playing Back Performance
Songs Stored on Floppy Disk
In addition to playing back the music you recorded on the
instrument and saved to a floppy disk, AT-90S/80S/60S also
lets you enjoy a wide variety of commercially available song
files, such as defined below.
Playing back all performance data
1. Hold the floppy disk with the label facing
upwards, and push it into the disk drive until it
clicks into place.
The disk drive is on the right side of the unit, above the
keyboard.

NOTE
Never eject a disk while reading or writing is in progress,
since that can damage the magnetic surface of the disk,
rendering it unusable. (The disk drive’s indicator will light
up at full brightness when the drive is busy reading or
writing data. Ordinarily, the indicator will be less brightly lit,
or be extinguished.)
SMF Music Files
The Standard MIDI File (SMF) format was designed to
provide a means for exchanging performance data
among a wide variety of devices. In addition to the song
files described earlier, the AT-90S/80S/60S is also
capable of playing back any Standard MIDI File
compatible with the General MIDI 2 or GS formats.
