Chapter 5 Recording and Saving the Performance
Chapter 5
Saving Songs
A recorded performance is discarded when you switch off the power or choose
another song. Storing recorded performances and other data to external memories
or the Favorites is called “saving.” Be sure to save important songs to external
memories 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. 82).
When you register a song on an external memory to Favorites, you can then play
back the song without connecting the external memory to the external memory
connector.
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 external memories, connect the external memory to the external
memory port.
1.
Press the [Song/File] button.
2.
Touch <File>.
The “Song File screen” appears.

Substitute the words “floppy
disk” for “external memory” if
using a separately purchased
floppy disk drive.
When using a new storage
media, first initialize (format)
the external memory on the
KR. Take a look at “Formatting
Media (Format)” (p. 114).
NOTE
Some commercially available
music files cannot be saved
b
ecause they are copy
protected.
When saving to floppy disks,
first check to make sure that
the floppy disk’s protect tab is
set to the “Write” position
(p. 7).
If not handled with care, a
floppy disk and an external
memory can be damaged, or
the data on it become
corrupted, making playback
impossible. We recommend
saving your songs on two
different media.
When you want to clear all of
the content saved to the
“Favorites” and restore the
settings to the original factory
condition on the KR, refer to
“Formatting the User
Memory” (p. 180).
