Disk Operations

Built into the PSR-740/640 is a disk drive. Simply insert a floppy disk, and you’ve got access to a wide

variety of convenient functions, such as recording and playback of User songs (page 92), as well as saving

and loading of User styles (page 110), User pads (page 106), and Registration Memory data (page 62).

You can save any number of User styles/pads and registration data to floppy disks, create your own song

libraries, or find many other ways to make playing and using the PSR-740/640 more efficient.

● The PSR-740/640 is capable of playing back songs contained on the included

sample disk, as well as commercially available song data in the following formats,

indicated by the corresponding logos (page 9):

You can play back song files collected on these disks using the

voices defined in the GM standard.

You can play back songs using the XG format, an extension of the

GM standard that allows for much higher sound quality.

You can play back song files collected on these disks using the

voices defined in Yamaha’s DOC format.

• Refer to page 9 for more

details on the logos.

● The PSR-740/640 is compatible with style data contained on the included sample

disk, as well as commercially available disk styles in the following format,

indicated by the corresponding logo (page 9):

You can load and play with the style files collected on these disks.

● You can record your own performances to User songs and play them back (page

92).

• It may not be possible to

record the full 60 files to a

disk, depending on the

length of the recorded files.

● The PSR-740/640 features special User style, User pad and Registration

Memory functions. The data recorded with these functions can also be saved to

disk individually or in any combination. Likewise, data (files) saved to disks can

be loaded individually or in any combination to the PSR-740/640.

files may vary according to

the type and volume of the

saved files (page 69).

User data compatible with the PSR-740/640 is indicated in the chart below.

• When saving data, use a

floppy disk formatted on the

PSR-740/640.

• The three letters following

the file name (after the

period) are referred to as a

file “extension.” The

extension indicates the type

of file.

• Since the user songs are

directly recorded to the disk

as you play during recording

and read from the disk

during playback, the Save/

Load functions are not

available. The Copy and

Delete File operations

related to the user songs can

be executed.
