Playing back songs
Your DisCover 5 is a novel Standard MIDI File player with all kinds of functions for “customizing” the songs you play
back via easy-to-use routines. Let us first look at the playback functions proper.
(1) Connect the DisCover 5 to your sound sys-
tem.
If you prefer to use headphones, connect them
to the PHONES socket to the left of the key-
board.
(2) Insert the supplied SmartMedia™ card into
the card slot.
(3) Switch on the amp (if available) and the
DisCover 5.
You can press [®÷ª] at this stage to start play-
back of the first song on the card. (If no card is
inserted, while a floppy disk is in the drive, the
DisCover 5 selects the first song on disk.) To
select the song yourself, proceed as follows:
(4) Press the [SONG/RHYTHM≈FINDER] button.
You can also press the [SONG] field in the upper
left corner of the display (if available) to select
songs.
The display changes to:
(5) If it isn’t already highlighted, press the
[SMART≈MEDIA] field in the upper right cor-
ner.
The display shows a list of 6 songs (Standard
MIDI Files) on the SmartMedia card.
If you prefer to listen to one of your own songs
on floppy disk, insert it into the drive and press
the [FLOPPY] field.
(6) If the name of the song you want to listen to
is already displayed, press its line.
In our example, “Birdland” has been selected.
(7) To display the next 6 songs, press the [˚] field
in the lower right corner.
You can press this field as many times as neces-
sary (or until it is no longer displayed).
To return to a previous group of 6 songs,
press [ø].
Quick location of the song you need
There are several ways to quickly locate the song you are after:
• Press the [Author] or [Genre] field under step (4)
to sort the song files according to artist names
(Author) or kind of music (Genre).
Continue with step (5) to select the song you
want to listen to.
• Press the [Index] field in the upper left corner.
Press one of the displayed field names to nar-
row down your search to songs that belong to
the selected category (“Index”).
Note: Press the [ALL] field to display all songs on the
SmartMedia card.
The display now returns to the page shown
under step (4) above. This time, however, only
the songs belonging to the selected Index are
displayed.
Continue with step (5) to select the song you
want to listen to.
• If you only know the melody of the desired
song, press the [Finder] field under step (4).
