E-200/E-100
16
The E-200/E-100 allows you to play back commercially available music data files (called Standard MIDI Files) or your own songs you saved to disk or to the E-200/E-100’s Flash memory. Your
own songs are saved as Standard MIDI Format 0 files and can also be played back using any other SMF compatible sequencer (or software).
Basic song playback
(1) Press the [SONG] button (it lights) to switch to Song
mode.
This is necessary because, otherwise, pressing the
[START÷STOP] button will start Arranger playback. So be sure
to check whether the [SONG] button lights and whether the
and icons are no
longer displayed. Only then will the ARRANGER & SONG
CONTROLS buttons allow you to control song playback (see
above).
(2)
[E-200 only]
If you want to play back a song from floppy
disk, insert the disk into the drive (front right).
(3) Use FAMILY [√][®] to select the memory area that contains
the song you wish to play back.
The E-200/E-100 provides three memory areas for songs:
USERSONG: (Memory 000) This where the song data you
record are temporarily stored. The data in this RAM memory
are erased when you switch off the E-200/E-100.
FLASH: (Memories 101~199) This is the Flash area inside
the E-200/E-100 that already contains several songs when
the E-200/E-100 is shipped. You can expand the number of
songs in this area by copying more songs from your com-
puter (via USB). There are 99 Flash memory slots in all, but
the actual number of songs you can save there depends on
the data size of the songs.
[E-200 only]
DISK: (Memories 201~…) This area refers to a
floppy disk you insert into the E-200’s drive. The number of
available songs depends on the floppy disk, of course.
(4) Use SELECT [√][®] to specify the desired song within the
selected group.
This is only necessary for the Flash memory or a floppy disk
(there is only one USERSONG memory).
The first press of SELECT [®] (or [√]) shows the name of the
first song within the selected group. It is already selected, so
if you need the first song, there is actually no need to press
SELECT [®]. You must use SELECT [√] or [®], however, to select
another song within the same group. After selecting memory
101 (the first Flash memory), the display looks as follows.
You can also use the numeric buttons to select songs. To do
so, first “double-click” (press twice) the [SONG] button (it
starts to flash), then enter the number. (Press another button
in the DATA ENTRY section to leave this “numeric selection
state”.) See also “Working with the FAMILY and SELECT but-
tons” below.
