Chapter 5 Recording and Saving the Performance
Chapter 5
Selecting the tone compatibility format (when saving to floppy disks)
8.
Touch <KR> or <MT>.
Some Tones are unique to the KR. Data that is recorded using these tones may not
play back correctly on other Roland Digital Pianos or Music Players. When you want
to save data so that it can be played back on another devices, save the data with
“MT” set as the Tone compatibility format.
<Note>
When data saved with “MT” as the Tone compatibility format is played back on this
instrument, some of the nuances that were part of the performance at the time the
data was recorded may be altered.
Even with data saved with “MT” as the Tone compatibility format, an exact
reproduction of the original performance may be unobtainable when using GS
devices other than Roland Pianos and Music Players.

9.
Touch <Save> or <As SMF> to start saving.
The resulting file format will be different depending on whether <Save> or <As
SMF> is chosen, as described below.
The time required for saving ranges from several seconds to half a minute or more.
Don’t take the floppy disk out of the disk drive until the saving process is finished.
Touch <Exit> to return to the Song File screen.
Display Explanation
KR
The song is saved as data capable of reproducing performances with
richness of expression using this unit’s special Tones.
MT
Data is saved in a form that can also be played on the Roland Digital
Pianos or Music Players other than this unit.
You can listen to songs saved in this format on the Roland HP-G/R
series and KR series keyboards as well as on Roland MT series devices.
Display Explanation
Save
Saves the song in this unit’s format. You can listen to songs saved
in this format on the Roland HP-G/R series and KR series
keyboards as well as on Roland MT series devices. This format is
called “i-format”.
Save As SMF
Saves the song as an SMF (Standard MIDI Files). Songs saved in
this SMF format can be listened to on many instruments that can
play SMF music files (p. 201).
A song recorded using commercial music files can’t be saved in
“Save As SMF” format for reasons of copyright protection.
NOTE
You can only save songs in one
format on a single floppy disk.
NOTE
Never turn off the power
while the saving operation is
in progress. Doing so will
damage the KR’s internal
memory, making it unusable.
NOTE
Depending on the playback
instrument, some notes may
drop out or sound different.
It’s a good idea to get into the
habit of moving the write-
protect tab on the floppy disk
to the “Protect” position when
you’ve finished saving your
data. Keeping the tab at
“Protect” prevents operations
that could erase your songs by
mistake.
