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/
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
Music Data Recorder (MDR)
terminal, make sure that the connector on the device is
appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction.
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).
NOTE
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.
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.
■ 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.
ELS-01/01C/01X Version 1.8 New Functions

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.
■ 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.
7
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.
