Saving data

The recorded data and panel settings of this instrument can be saved on a disk.

Disks

You can use 3.5 inch 2DD (720KB) or 2HD
(1.44MB) disks.

• How to distinguish the two disk types:

• Although 2HD disks can hold more data and are conve-

nient for quick loading and saving, some models may be
able to read only 2DD disks. Therefore, you may not be
able to use your 2HD disk data with other musical instru-
ment models.

• When saving data to the disk, the write-protect tab must

be closed.
