MDR-10 Music Disk Recorder
The MDR-10 Music Disk Recorder is a sophisticated recording device that lets you record your
performances. It works like a cassette tape recorder, but it records performance data instead of sounds.
The MDR-10 not only records the notes you play; it also remembers the voices and rhythms you select,
the front panel controls you change, as well as all expression pedal, footswitch and knee lever positions,
to reproduce your performance exactly as you play it. Moreover, you can separately record different
parts of your performance, building up a song part by part.
Using Disks With the Music Disk Recorder
The M.D.R. records all your performance data to disks. A blank disk has been included with your MDR-10 for
you to record your performances.
Inserting the disk:
Put the included disk, face up, into the disk slot under Note: Either double-sided double-
the M.D.R. density (2DD) or double-sided high-
j density (2HD) 3.5-inch microfloppy
disks can be used with the M.D.R.
Note: When you wish to record to a
disk, make sure the disk's Write -
Protect tab is setto OFF. Set itto ON
Write-Protect tab
when you wish to protect valuable
data from being accidentally erased.
Ejecting the disk:
To remove the disk, press the EJECT button next to
the disk slot.

Before
recording
a
performance
to
your
blank
disk,
the
disk
must
first
be
formatted.
