Connecting to a Computer
You can use the procedure below to transfer
registration data from the Digital Piano to a computer
for storage. You also can transfer standard MIDI files
(SMF) from your computer to Digital Piano memory.
■ Data Types Supported for Data Transfer
IMPORTANT!
• Turning off the Digital Piano while data is being
transferred can cause all data currently stored in
Digital Piano memory to be deleted. Take care so
power is not turned off accidentally during data
transfer operations. If data is deleted, it will take
longer than normal for the Digital Piano to power up
the next time you turn it on (page E-11).
