Playing back the SMF (Standard MIDI file) from the USB storage device In the File mode, you can play back directly the SMF file saved in the USB storage device. This is useful if you are playing a keyboard with the accompaniment of SMF file. 1Connect the USB storage including the SMF file device to this instrument. 2Enter the Song mode or Pattern mode, then select the Song or Pattern which has desired the Mixing settings. 3Press the [FILE] button to enter the File mode. 4Press the [F3] LOAD button. 5Move the cursor to the TYPE, then select the Song or Pattern. 6Select the SMF file. 7Press the [F6] F (Play) button to play back the SMF file with the Mixing settings of currently selected Song or Pattern. Press the J (Stop) button again to stop the playback. 8Try playing the keyboard along with the accompaniment of the SMF file. To select the Track for keyboard performance, turn the [TRACK SELECT] button on, then press the any of Number [1] – [16] buttons. Also, you can control the sound of each Part by using the Knobs and Control sliders as the Song mode and Pattern mode. Formatting a USB storage device Before you can use a new USB storage device with this synthesizer, you will need to format it. Follow the instructions below. If data is already saved on the USB storage device, be careful not to format it. If you format the USB storage device, all the previously recorded data will be deleted. 1Connect a USB storage device to the USB TO DEVICE connector. If necessary, insert the proper media into the slot of the USB storage device. 2Press the [FILE] mode to enter the File mode . 3Press the [F1] CONFIG button, then [SF2] FORMAT button to call up the Format display. 4Select the slot and partition to be formatted. Specify the slot number at the right top of the display as necessary and select the partition to be formatted at the Type value location in the second line of the display. 5Set the Volume Label. Move the cursor to the “Volume Label” and input a Volume Label. For instructions on naming, refer to page 38 in the Basic Operation section. 6Press the [ENTER] button. (The display prompts you for confirmation.) Press the [DEC/NO] button to cancel the Format operation. 7Press the [INC/YES] button to execute the Format. After formatting has been completed, a “Completed” message appears and operation returns to the original display. While formatting is in process, make sure to follow these precautions: • Never remove or eject the media from the device (USB storage). • Never unplug or disconnect any of the devices. • Never turn off the power of the MO or the relevant devices. nBy executing the Format operation in the File mode, the USB storage device will be formatted to MS-DOS or Windows format. The formatted USB storage device may not be compatible with other devices such as a Macintosh computer or digital camera. Move the cursor to the desired file or folder by using the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons or the data dial. To return to the next highest level, press the [EXIT] button.To call up the contents of a desired folder, highlight the folder and press the [ENTER] button. Move the cursor to the desired file or folder by using the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons or the data dial. CAUTION CAUTION

Master Play mode 215Owner’s Manual Voice mode Performance mode Song mode Utility mode File mode Master modePattern mode Mixing Voice mode Reference Master mode The Master Play mode lets you perform a variety of general editing operations on the selected Master. For more detailed and comprehensive editing operations, use the Master Edit mode. Edited parameters with the exception of some parameters are stored to internal Flash ROM as a User Master. Master Play mode[MASTER] ➞ Master selection [F1] PLAY OCT (Octave)Indicates Keyboard Octave setting set via the [OCTAVE] buttons. This can be changed also with the following operation: [UTILITY] → [F1] GENERAL → [SF2] KBD → Octave. ASA (ASSIGN A), ASB (ASSIGN B)Indicates the functions assigned to the respective Knobs (printed “ASSIGN A” and “ASSIGN B”) when the lamps of both the [PAN/SEND] and [TONE] buttons are turned on. The functions are assigned from the [UTILITY] → [F4] CTL ASN → [SF2] ASSIGN display. nOCT (Octave), ASA (ASSIGN A), and ASB (ASSIGN B) settings are not independently assignable for each Master. Because of this, these are not stored as an individual Master in the Master Store mode (page 218). AS1 (ASSIGN 1), AS2 (ASSIGN 2)Indicates the values obtained by controlling the respective Knobs (printed “ASSIGN 1” and “ASSIGN 2”) when the lamps of both the [PAN/SEND] and [TONE] buttons are turned on. The functions assigned to these knobs depend on the setting of the Voice selected as a Master program. [SF1] ARP1 (Arpeggio 1) – [SF5] ARP5 (Arpeggio 5)You can call up the Arpeggio types by pressing these buttons to which the Arpeggio types are assigned. The Arpeggio type assigned to each button depends on the program (Voice, Performance, Song, Pattern) selected as a Master. [F2] MEMORY From this display you can set basic parameters for the Master, including the mode that is called up with the Master and the program number. ModeDetermines the mode that is called up when the Master number is selected. Settings:Voice, Performance, Pattern, Song MemoryDetermines the Program number that is called up when the Master is selected. Settings: When the Mode is set to Voice: Select a Voice bank and number. When the Mode is set to Performance: Select a Performance bank and number. When the Mode is set to Pattern: Select a Pattern and section. When the Mode is set to Song: Select a Song number. ZoneSwitchDetermines whether the Zone function is used (on) or not (off). See page 123 for details about the Zone function. nWhen the Mode is set to “Voice” or “Performance” and the Zone Switch is turned on, only Zone 1 can be used in the default setting (playing Zones 2-4 will produce no sound). You can use these Zones by setting various parameters in the Master Edit mode.

In this way, selecting a different Master automatically calls up a completely different set of Voices and Voice-related settings for the four Zones. nUsing the [F6] SEND button, you can select whether the settings in PRESET display are immediately applied or not. If the [F6] SEND button is turned on ( ), each MIDI messages will be output from the MO as soon as you changed each parameter in this display. If the [F6] SEND button is turned off ( ), each MIDI messages will be output from the MO after you store the edited Master and then select the Master again. However, the parameters set to off in the [F1] TRANS or [F3]TX SW display cannot be output. BankMSB, BankLSB, PgmChange (Program Change)Determines the Voice assignment for each Zone in the selected Master. Settings:Refer to the Voice List in the separate Data List booklet.

Parameter Types (for Initializing): All, Common, Zone [F4] BULK (Bulk Dump) This function lets you send all your edited parameter settings for the currently selected Master to a computer or another MIDI device for data archiving. For details, page 148. nIn order to execute Bulk Dump, you’ll need to set the correct MIDI Device Number, with the following operation: [UTILITY] → [F5] MIDI → [SF1] CH → DeviceNo. Master Store mode[MASTER] ➞ Master selection ➞ [STORE] ALL All settings for the selected Master are initialized. Common Common parameter settings for the selected Master are initialized. Zone You can initialize the Zone setting to one of the following three types. SplitSplits the keyboard range using Zone 1 and Zone 2. “UpperCh” determines the MIDI transmit channel of the upper range of the keyboard, “LowerCh” determines the MIDI transmit channel of the lower range of the keyboard, and “SplitPoint” determines the note (C2 – G8) number which separates the upper range and lower range of the keyboard. 4Zone Initializes all four Zones. Layer Lets you layer two parts using Zone 1 and Zone 2. “UpperCh” and “LowerCh” determine the MIDI transmit channels of the two Zones respectively.
