The Music Disk Recorder not only records the notes you play; it also remembers the voices and rhythms you select, the front panel controls you change, as well as all expression pedal, footswitch and knee lever positions, to reproduce your performance exactly as you play it. Moreover, you can separately record different parts of your performance, building up a song part by part. Precautions Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care.

8 Music Disk Recorder
The Music Disk Recorder (M.D.R.) is a sophisticated recording device built into the Electone that
lets you record your performances and registration settings.
The Music Disk Recorder not only
records the notes you play; it also remembers the voices and rhythms you select, the front panel
controls you change, as well as all expression pedal, footswitch and knee lever positions, to
reproduce your performance exactly as you play it.
Moreover, you can separately record different
parts of your performance, building up a song part by part.
Precautions
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care.
Follow the important precautions below.
■
To eject a floppy disk:
Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm
that the M.D.R. is stopped (check if the LED
above the STOP button in the M.D.R.
section is lit and the LED below the disk slot
is off).
Press the eject button slowly as far as it will
go; the disk will automatically pop out.
When the disk is fully ejected, carefully
remove it by hand.
Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the
power off during recording, reading and
playing back. Doing so can damage the disk
and possibly the disk drive.
If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if
it is not pressed in as far as it will go, the
disk may not eject properly. The eject button
may become stuck in a half-pressed
position with the disk extending from the
drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this
happens, do not attempt to pull out the
partially ejected disk, since using force in
this situation can damage the disk drive
mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a
partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject
button once again, or push the disk back
into the slot and then repeat the eject
procedure.
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.
Compatible Disk Type
3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be
used. A blank 2DD floppy disk has been included
with your Electone for you to record your
performances.
