7 Music Data Recorder (MDR)

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 USB flash memory or other external media. If you install the optional floppy disk drive such as the UD-FD01 to the Electone, you can record your performances/settings to floppy disks.

Before using an external media such as USB flash memory, carefully read “Precautions when using the USB TO DEVICE terminal” section on page 8.

Precautions when using the USB TO DEVICE terminal

● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

This instrument features a built-in USB TO DEVICE terminal. When connecting a USB device to the terminal, be sure to handle the USB device with care. Follow the important precautions below.

NOTE

For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer to the owner’s manual of the USB device.

■Compatible USB devices

•USB storage devices (flash memory, floppy disk drive, hard disk drive, etc.)

•USB hub

•USB-LAN adaptor

The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB devices that you purchase. Before purchasing a USB device for use with this instrument, please visit the following web page:

http://www.yamahamusicsoft.com/

NOTE

Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used.

■Connecting USB device

•When connecting a USB device to the USB TO DEVICE

7	terminal, make sure that the connector on the device is
	appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction.

When the USB unit (UD-USB01) is connected

While holding this button, pull the unit toward you.

NOTE

When the USB unit (UD-USB01) is connected; during your performance, make sure to slide the USB unit under the keyboard. If you leave it in the forward position, there is a danger of hitting it with your hand and breaking the USB device.

•If you intend to connect two or three devices at the same time to a terminal, you should use a self-powered USB hub device. Make sure to connect the USB hub to the USB TO DEVICE terminal directly. Even if you are using USB unit (UDUSB01), do not connect it to that USB unit. Up to two USB hubs can be used. If an error message appears while using the USB hub, disconnect the hub from the instrument, then turn on the power of the instrument and re-connect the USB hub.

•Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard, you can connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with the instrument. However, note that the transfer speed is that of USB 1.1.

Using USB Storage Devices

● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device (external media), you can save data you’ve created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device.

NOTE

Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instrument, they cannot be used for saving data.

■The number of USB storage device to be used

Up to four USB storage devices can be connected to the USB TO DEVICE terminal. (If necessary, use a USB hub. The number of USB storage devices that can be used simultaneously with musical instruments even when a USB hub is used is a maximum of four.) This instrument can recognize up to four drives in one USB storage device.

■Formatting USB storage media

When a USB storage device is connected or media is inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format the device/ media. If so, execute the Format operation (page 10).

The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make sure that the media you are formatting does not contain important data. Proceed with caution, especially when connecting multiple USB storage media.

■To protect your data (write-protect)

To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased, apply the write-protect provided with each storage device or media. If you are saving data to the USB storage device, make sure to disable write-protect.

■Connecting/removing USB storage device

Before removing the media from the device, make sure that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the Save, Copy and Delete operations).

While the instrument is accessing data (such as during Save, Copy, Delete, Load and Format operations) or is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection), do NOT unplug the USB connector, do NOT remove the media from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either device. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both devices.

If you are using a USB flash memory which has a lamp, the lamp will flash when the instrument is accessing the USB flash memory.

Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage device, or connecting/disconnecting the device too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the instrument “freezing” or hanging up.

■Data Backup

For maximum data security, Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate USB storage devices. This gives you a backup if one device is lost or damaged.

Handling the floppy disk drive (FDD) and floppy disks

● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

If your Electone does not include a UD-FD01 floppy disk drive, you can install the optional UD-FD01 floppy disk drive to the Electone.

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 10. 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.

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.

■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.

●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.
