MIDI Data Dumps (NC-500 only)
You can use the MIDI data dump capability to save your recorded
performances into a MIDI data filer or other external storage device. When
you want to hear a saved performance again, you use this same feature to
reload the data and settings back into the NC-500.
To protect against accidental data loss, be sure to follow the instructions that
come with your storage device.
■ Saving Data
1. Run a MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT connector on the piano to the
MIDI IN connector on the data filer (or other storage device).
2. Set the data filer so that it is standing by to receive the MIDI data
from the piano. (Refer to the data filer's instruction manual.)
3. On the piano, hold down TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION and press
STRINGS/CHOIR.
+
The two buttons begin flashing, indicating that the piano is now
standing by to transmit the data.
If you want to cancel at this time without sending the data:
Press
either TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION or STRINGS/CHOIR.
4. Press TOUCH.
The piano starts dumping the data into the data filer. When the transfer
is completed, the flashing TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION and STRINGS/
CHOIR go dark and the piano returns to normal operating mode.
Please don't touch any of the piano's buttons or controls while data transfer
is in progress.
The piano keyboard is disabled (the piano will not produce any sound)
during standby and transmission.
