loading a mIDI File from an sD Card
You can load a MIDI file to be a user song, or load back the setting
of the KITs (*.KIT), all user songs (*.SNG), or your global setting
(*.SET).
1. Press the
[saVe/enTer]
button, you’ll be asked to select the
type of the user song after the MIDI file is loaded. These are 1
Shot, Loop, Tap and Hit.
2. Press
[saVe/enTer]
button to confirm your selection. You will
be asked to select which user song memory slot to be used to save
the new song. If there’s a “*” before the name of the selection, it
means it’s empty and it’s safe to save the new song into it without
worrying about overwriting a previously saved song.
3. Press
[saVe/enTer]
to confirm your selection. If you have
selected a user song memory slot which is not empty, it will ask
you to confirm the over write operation. You can use
[saVe/
enTer]
to confirm or use
[eXIT]
to go back to the last step and
change your selection.
4. If you confirm the selection, the MIDI file would be loaded to the
selected user song memory slot, and you will see “Song Loaded!”
