Music Data Recorder (MDR)
USB flash drive contents: Folders, Songs, and Files
Folders:
A folder is a storage location in the USB flash drive, used to organize multiple Songs in groups. If you’ve saved many
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 the Electone data for a piece of music, recorded to USB flash drive. A single Song can contain a variety of
data, including the recorded performance, Registrations, and so on.
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 following files are created with the MDR (The extension will not appear in the Electone
display. They will, however, be displayed on a computer.)
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.
