Using External Memory

If you install USB Memory or a floppy disk drive (optional; sold separately), you’ll be able to save songs you’ve

recorded and listen to commercially available music files.

If connecting an optional floppy

disk drive, substitute “floppy

disk” wherever the term “USB

memory” appears here.

If connecting an optional floppy

disk drive, refer to “Installing

the Floppy Disk Drive” (p. 19).

NOTE

Use USB memory and floppy

disk drive available from

Roland. Proper functioning

cannot be guaranteed if other

USB memory products are

used.
