Music Data Recorder (MDR)
The Music Data Recorder (M.D.R.) is a sophisticated recording system built into the DDK-7 that
lets you record your performances and Registration settings to a USB flash memory or other
external media. Moreover, the M.D.R. allows you to perform various other operations to your
song data (such as copy, delete and convert). Before purchasing any USB storage device, you
should check with your Yamaha dealer or an authorized Yamaha distributor for advice on
compatibility.

Before using a USB device, read through the important section “Precautions when
using the USB TO DEVICE terminals” on page 234. About USB devices
compatible with the DDK-7, see “Compatible USB devices” on page 234.
To protect your data (write-protect switch):
Some USB flash memory devices are equipped with a write-protect switch. To
prevent accidental erasure of important data saved in USB flash memory, slide the
write-protect switch on the device to the “protect” position. When saving data,
make sure that the write-protect switch is set to the “overwrite” position.
