Yamaha SY85 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
228 UTILITY MODE / DISK
The MDR (MIDI Data Recorder) utilities allow MIDI bulk dump data to be
transferred between different MIDI devices via the SY85, and saved to or loaded
from floppy disk.
Engaging the MDR utilities required an extra confirmation step since all
sequencer data in the SY85 song memory is erased when the MDR functions are
used. This is because the sequencer memory is used as temporary storage for MDR
data handled by the SY85.
