names made uo of 8 letters, but you can use up to 12 letters.
Just before the file name, sometime a prefix can be displayed, which
distinguishes the file itself, foe instance:
! “no prefix”: SONG (Standard MIDI File, file .KAR, ecc.)
! “X”: System Exclusive DUMP files
! “A”: Audio Files
9.2 How to use an external PC keyboard
How we already described in chapter 2.2, the KEYBOARD socket on the rear
panel lets you connect a Personal Computer external keyboard.
Besides letting you enter lyrics in a song (see chapter 5.14 - Lyrics Editor), the
keyboard can make songs and groups search operations easier or it can be
useful to rename songs and groups.
9.2.1 How to select a song with a PC keyboard
If you are in any songs or groups selection page (for instance SINGLE PLAY),
on the PC keyboard the following keys will be enabled:
! PAGE UP / PAGE DOWN: pressing these keys you can change the PAGE
number on Mebabeat Pro display
! ARROWS: the arrows let you move the cursor on the desired song
! Letters and Numbers: they let you quickly select a song. If you input a
letter on the keyboard, you will see the cursor move immediately on the
first song which begins with the letter you input.
At the same time, in the right section of the display (under the PLAY
symbol) you will see the letter input on the keyboard.
If you input other letters of the song you want to select, you will be able to
further reduce the selection, until you find the desired song.
