Chapter 4 Recording and Saving the Performance
Chapter 4
Saving Songs
A recorded performance is discarded when you switch off the power or choose
another song. Storing recorded performances and other data to floppy disks or the
Favorites is called “saving.” Be sure to save important songs to floppy disks or
Favorites.
What are “Favorites?”
You can register songs you are currently practicing or particularly like to
“Favorites,” allowing you to select these songs easily (p. 68).
On the KF-7, when you register a song on a floppy disk to Favorites, you can then
play back the song without inserting the floppy disk in the disk drive.
If a recorded performance is saved to Favorites, the performance won’t be erased
when the power is turned off.
Preparations for Saving Data
When saving to floppy disks, first check to make sure that the floppy disk’s protect
tab is set to the “Write” position (p. 99), then insert the floppy disk in the disk drive.
1.
Press the [Disk] button.
2.
Touch <File>.
3.
Touch <Save>.

When using a new floppy disk,
first initialize (format) the disk
on the KF-7. Take a look at
“Formatting Floppy Disks
(Format)” (p. 99).
NOTE
Some commercially available
music files cannot be saved
because they are copy
protected.
If not handled with care, a
floppy disk can be damaged,
or the data on it become
corrupted, making playback
impossible. We recommend
saving your songs on two
different floppy disks.
When you want to clear all of
the content saved to the
“Favorites” and restore the
settings to the original factory
condition, refer to “Formatting
the User Memory” (p. 151).
