To return to the Performance display from a File display, press [EXIT]. Terminology in the File operation File The term "file" is used to define a collection of data stored on a USB flash memory or a hard disk drive of a computer. Just as with a computer, all data of the User memory including User Voices and Performances created on the MX49/ MX61 can be treated as a file and saved to a USB flash memory. Each file has a file name and a file extension. File File display Save Load Rename Delete Format Memory Info File Name Just as with a computer, you can assign the name to the file in the File display. The file name can contain up to eight alphabetical and numerical characters on the display of the MX49/MX61. Files having the same name cannot be saved in the same directory. Extension The three letters following the file name (after the period) such as ".mid" and ".wav" are referred to as a file "extension." The extension indicates the type of file and cannot be changed by panel operations on the MX49/MX61. File Size This refers to the memory amount of the file. The file size is determined by the amount of data saved to the file. File sizes are indicated in conventional computer terms by B (byte), KB (kilobyte), MB (megabyte) and GB (gigabyte). 1KB is equivalent to 1024 bytes, 1MB is equivalent to 1024KB, and 1GB is equivalent to 1024MB. Directory (Dir) This is an organizational feature on a data storage device (such as USB flash memory), allowing you to group data files together according to type or application. Directories can be nested in hierarchical order for organizing data. In this regard, a "directory" is equivalent to a folder as used on a computer. Please note that the directory name does not contain an extension. Root directory The very top location for all your folders (which is called up when you first open the memory location) is called the "root directory." Format The operation of initializing a USB flash memory is referred to as "format." The format operation erases all data from the target memory device and is irreversible. Save/Load "Save" means that the data created on the MX49/MX61 is saved to the USB flash memory as a file, while "Store" means that the data created on the MX49/MX61 is stored to internal memory. "Load" means that the file on the USB flash memory is loaded to internal memory. MX49/MX61 Reference Manual 60
