Text Files in TXT format
The instrument is capable of handling Files in TXT format, or rather files of written documents on PC
and having .txt extension. This allows the user, for example, to write Song texts on computer, to save
them as text Files with .txt extension and therefore to load them from Floppy Disk onto the instrument.
The TXT files may run on the keyboard in 2 different manners:
1 Arranger mode: the text is visible on the display while the Style is running.
2 Song Play mode: the text is visible on the Display while the Midi-file is running. In this case
the Midi-file is loaded together with the text (provided that the text name is the same as the
Midi-file as indicated below).
TXT Files in the Arranger mode

dure, choosing the TXT. Section using File Choice (See DISK LOAD).
