Music Data Recorder (MDR)
Media (USB flash drive) Contents: Folders, Songs, and Files
Folders:
A folder is a storage location in the media, used to organize multiple Songs in groups. If
you've saved hundreds of Songs to a USB flash drive, it may be difficult to find the
desired Song quickly. Organizing your Songs in folders, with similar Songs grouped
together (for example, according to genre or tempo), makes it easier to find the Songs
you want.
Songs:
A Song is a “container” for storing the Electone data for a piece of music, recorded to
external media. A single Song can contain both the recorded performance and
Registrations. A blank Song containing no data is displayed as a “new song.” When a Song
containing the performance data is selected, a note icon ( ) appears in the display.
Files:
A file is an element of data in a Song. For example, a single Song consists of various files,
such as Registration files and performance files. The file types listed below are created
with the MDR (The extension will not appear in the Electone display. They will, however,
be displayed on a computer.)
Files in the Song
In addition, one file (extension: .nam) is automatically created in each folder for
organization/maintenance of the folder contents. It does not appear on the Electone
display.
