Playing Back Songs; Basic Song Playback - Roland EXR-46 OR Manuel D'utilisation

6. Playing back songs

The EXR-46 OR allows you to play back commercially available music data files (called Standard MIDI Files) or your own songs you saved to disk or to the EXR-46 OR's Flash memory. Your own songs are saved as
Standard MIDI Format 0 files and can also be played back using any other SMF compatible sequencer (or software).

Basic song playback

(1) Press the [SONG] button (it lights) to switch to Song
mode.
SONG
This is necessary because, otherwise, pressing the
[START÷STOP] button will start Arranger playback. So be sure
to check whether the [SONG] button lights and whether the

CONTROLS buttons allow you to control song playback (see
above).
(2) If you want to play back a song from floppy disk, insert
the disk into the drive (front right).

(3) Use FAMILY [√][®] to select the memory area that contains
the song you wish to play back.
The EXR-46 OR provides three memory areas for songs:
USERSONG: (Memory 000) This where the song data you
record are temporarily stored. The data in this RAM memory
are erased when you switch off the EXR-46 OR.
FLASH: (Memories 101~199) This is the Flash area inside
icons are no
the EXR-46 OR that already contains several songs when the
EXR-46 OR is shipped. You can expand the number of songs
in this area by copying more songs from your computer (via
USB). There are 99 Flash memory slots in all, but the actual
number of songs you can save there depends on the data
size of the songs.
DISK: (Memories 201~...) This area refers to a floppy disk
you insert into the EXR-46 OR's drive. The number of avail-
able songs depends on the floppy disk, of course.

(4) Use SELECT [√][®] or the numeric buttons to specify the
desired song within the selected group.
SELECT
This is only necessary for the Flash memory or a floppy disk
(there is only one USERSONG memory).
The first press of SELECT [®] (or [√]) shows the name of the
first song within the selected group. It is already selected, so
if you need the first song, there is actually no need to press
SELECT [®]. You must use SELECT [√] or [®], however, to select
another song within the same group. After selecting mem-
ory 101 (the first Flash memory), the display looks as follows.
