M.D.R. Display/Score Display
The Music Data Recorder (M.D.R.) is a sophisticated recording system built into the Electone
that lets you record your performances and Registration settings to a SmartMedia card, USB
flash memory or other external media. If you install the optional floppy disk drive such as the
UD-FD01 to the ELS-01, you can record your performances/settings to floppy disks. (The
ELS-01C/01X has a built-in floppy disk drive.)

Handling SmartMedia™* memory cards
●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
*SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.
This instrument features a built-in SmartMedia card slot. It lets
you save original data you’ve created on the instrument to a
SmartMedia card, and allows you to load data from a card to the
instrument. Be sure to handle SmartMedia cards with care. Follow
the important precautions below.
■ Compatible SmartMedia types
• 3.3V (3V) SmartMedia can be used. 5V type SmartMedia is
not compatible with this instrument.
•SmartMedia cards of seven different memory capacities of
(2MB, 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, and 128MB) can
be used with the instrument. SmartMedia cards greater than
32MB can be used if they conform to the SSFDC Forum
standard.
NOTE
SSFDC is an abbreviation for Solid State Floppy Disk Card
(another name for SmartMedia cards). The SSFDC Forum is a
voluntary organization established for the promotion of
SmartMedia.
■ Formatting SmartMedia cards
•If you find that you are unable to use new, blank SmartMedia
cards or cards that have been used with other devices, you may
need to format them. For details on how to format a
SmartMedia card, see page 12. Keep in mind that all data on
the card will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check
beforehand whether or not the card contains important data.
NOTE
SmartMedia cards formatted on this device may or may not
be useable as is on other devices.
■ Inserting/removing SmartMedia cards
● Inserting SmartMedia cards
•Insert the SmartMedia card
with the terminal (goldplated) side face down into
the card slot, until it clicks
into place.
•Do not insert the
SmartMedia card in the
wrong direction.
•Do not insert anything other
than a SmartMedia card in
the slot.
● Removing SmartMedia cards
• After making sure that the instrument is not accessing* the
SmartMedia card, insert the card until it clicks into place and
release it. When the SmartMedia card is ejected, pull it out of
the drive. If the card cannot be removed because it is stuck, do
not try to force it, but instead try re-inserting the card
completely into the slot and attempt to eject it again.
* Accessing includes saving, loading, formatting, deleting and
making directory. Also, be aware that the instrument will
automatically access the SmartMedia to check the media type
when it is inserted while the instrument is turned on.
Never attempt to remove the SmartMedia card or
turn the power off during accessing. Doing so can
damage the data on the instrument or card and
possibly damage the SmartMedia card itself.
■ About SmartMedia cards
● Handle SmartMedia cards with care, and follow
these precautions:
• There are times when static electricity affects SmartMedia.
Before you touch a SmartMedia card, touch something
metallic such as a door knob and aluminum sash, to reduce the
possibility of static electricity.
•Be sure to remove the SmartMedia card from the SmartMedia
slot when it is not in use for a long time.
•Do not expose the SmartMedia to direct sunlight, extremely
high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or
liquids.
•Do not place heavy objects on a SmartMedia card or bend or
apply pressure to the card in any way.
•Do not touch the gold-plated terminals of the SmartMedia
card or put any metallic plate onto the terminals.
•Do not expose the SmartMedia card to magnetic fields, such as
those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since
magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on the
SmartMedia, rendering it unreadable.
•Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a
SmartMedia. Also make sure that labels are attached in the
proper location.
● To protect your data (write-protect):
•To prevent inadvertent erasure of important data, affix the
write-protect seal (provided in the SmartMedia package) onto
the designated area (within the circle) of the SmartMedia card.
Conversely, to save data on the SmartMedia card, make sure to
remove the write-protect seal from the card.
•Do not reuse a seal that has been peeled off.
● Data Backup
•For maximum data security, Yamaha recommends that you
keep two copies of important data on separate SmartMedia
cards. This gives you a backup if one card is lost or damaged.

Handling the floppy disk drive (FDD) and floppy disks
●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
If you have the ELS-01, install the optional UD-FD01 floppy disk
drive to use floppy disks with the Electone. For information on
how to install the UD-FD01, see your Owner’s Manual.
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care.
Follow the important precautions below.
■ Floppy disk compatibility
• 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.
■ Formatting a floppy disk
•If you find that you are unable to use new, blank disks or old
disks that have been used with other devices, you may need to
format them. For details on how to format a disk, see page 12.
Keep in mind that all data on the disk will be lost after
formatting. Make sure to check beforehand whether or not the
disk contains important data.
NOTE
Floppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be
useable as is on other devices.
■ Inserting/removing Floppy Disks
● Inserting a floppy disk into the disk drive
•Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and
the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot.
Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the
way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out.
■ Cleaning the disk drive read/write head
• Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a
precision magnetic read/write head which, after an extended
period of use, will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from
the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors.
•To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha
recommends that you use a commercially-available dry-type
head cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask
your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper
headcleaning disks.
■ About floppy disks
● Handle floppy disks with care, and follow these
precautions:
•Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure
to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks in their
protective cases when they are not in use.
•Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or
low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.
•Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface
of the floppy disk inside.
•Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those
produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic
fields can partially or completely erase data on the disk,
rendering it unreadable.
•Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing.
•Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a
floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the
proper location.
NOTE
Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive.
Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy
disks.
● Removing a floppy disk
• After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the floppy
disk, firmly press the eject button at the upper right of the disk
slot all the way in. When the floppy disk is ejected, pull it out
of the drive. If the floppy disk cannot be removed because it is
stuck, do not try to force it, but instead try pressing the eject
button again, or try re-inserting the disk and attempt to eject it
again.
*Access of the disk indicates an active operation, such as
recording, playback, or deletion of data. If a floppy disk is
inserted while the power is on, the disk is automatically
accessed, since the instrument checks whether the disk has
data.
Do not remove the floppy disk or turn off the
instrument itself while the disk is being accessed.
Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the
disk but also damage to the floppy disk drive.
•Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before
turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive for
extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause
data-read and -write errors.
● To protect your data (write-protect tab):
•To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s
write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open). When
saving data, make sure that the disk’s write-protect tab is set to
the “overwrite” position (tab closed).
● Data backup
•For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you
keep two copies of important data on separate floppy disks.
This gives you a backup if one disk is lost or damaged.

About Protected Songs
If you buy or download the song data, it may be protected so that you cannot delete
or copy, in order to prevent accidental erasure or protect copyright. This is
“Protected Song.” Protected songs can be saved to a SmartMedia card with ID or
USB flash memory.
The protected song can be played back as well as the song you created, but it cannot
be converted to XG format, or EL format. It is not possible to edit the Registration
data in the protected song, nor to overwrite the performance data.
If you want to edit the protected song, first copy it within one media/folder, then
edit the copy. (You cannot copy to another media/folder.) The copy song (called
“protected edit song”) is available only when the original song (called “protected
original song”) exists in the same folder. Be careful not to delete the protected
original song.
