ABOUT
THIS
MANUAL
Thank
you
very
much
for
purchasing
the
Yamaha
MIDI
Data
Filer
MDF1.
The
MDF1
is
an
extremely
practical
MIDI
Data
Recorder
capable
of
storing
various
types
of
MIDI
information
such
as
voice
data
from
a
DX-series
synthesizer
or
sequencing
data
from
OX-series
sequencers.
To
do
so,
it
uses
convenient
Quick
Disks,
which
measure
only
2,8
inches
across.
In
order
to
make
full
use
of
the
MDF1's
many
superb
features
and
to
ensure
years
of
satisfactory
service,
please
read
through
this
manual
carefully
before
operating
your
new
MIDI
Data
Filer.
