Using the Floppy Disk Drive (WK-1800 Only) Floppy Disk Drive Features The WK-1800 comes with a built-in disk drive, which provides you with the capabilities described below. • You can save sequencer and synthesizer data on a floppy diskette for long-term storage. When you need the data again, simply insert the diskette into the disk drive and load it. • You can play back SMF (standard MIDI file) data created on a personal computer and saved to diskette. • You can convert rhythm data saved to diskette from another make of electronic musical instrument (Roland, Technics) and save it as user rhythm data. Floppy Diskette Precautions IMPORTANT! • Avoid the following locations when storing and using diskettes. Any of the conditions noted below can cause data stored on the diskette to become corrupted. • Near TVs, on top of audio equipment, or in any area exposed to magnetism. Take special care to keep diskettes away from any source of magnetism. • Areas exposed to direct sunlight, or subject to high humidity or temperature extremes. • Failure to observe any of the following precautions can cause data stored on the diskette to become corrupted. • Never try to take a diskette apart. • Never open the shutter of the diskette or touch the film inside with your fingers. • Never bend a diskette or otherwise subject it to rough handling. • Affix labels in the spaces provided only, and do not affix labels on top of previous ones. • Do not eject the diskette from the drive while the access lamp is lit or flashing or turn off keyboard power with a diskette in the drive. Doing either can cause data on the diskette to become corrupted and can even cause malfunction of the disk drive. • Never insert any foreign objects into the disk drive. Doing so can cause it to malfunction. • The disk drive uses a magnetic head. A dirty head cannot read data from a diskette properly and can corrupt existing data on the diskette. To avoid this, be sure to use a commercially available head cleaning diskette to periodically clean the head. • Do not use a computer, another electronic musical instrument, or any other device to change a file name or file contents created with this keyboard. Doing so can make the data unusable by this keyboard and even cause malfunction of the keyboard.
