Roland KR7/5 用户手册

Some Tones are unique to the KR-7/5. Data that is recorded using these tones may 

not play back correctly on other Roland Digital Pianos or Music Players. When you 

want to save data so that it can be played back on another devices, save the data with 

“MT” set as the Tone compatibility format.

When data saved with “MT” as the Tone compatibility format is played back on this 

instrument, some of the nuances that were part of the performance at the time the 

data was recorded may be altered.

Even with data saved with “MT” as the Tone compatibility format, an exact 

reproduction of the original performance may be unobtainable when using GS 

devices other than Roland Pianos and Music Players.

The resulting file format will be different depending on whether <Save> or <As 

SMF> is chosen, as described below.

The time required for saving ranges from several seconds to half a minute or more.

Don’t take the floppy disk out of the disk drive until the saving process is finished.

Touch <Exit> to return to the Song File screen.

The song is saved as data capable of reproducing performances with 
richness of expression using the KR-7/5’s special Tones.

Data is saved in a form that can also be played on the Roland Digital 
Pianos or Music Players other than the KR-7/5.
You can listen to songs saved in this format on the Roland HP-G/R se-
ries and KR series keyboards as well as on Roland MT series devices.

Saves the song in KR-7/5 format. You can listen to songs saved in

Saves the song as an SMF (Standard MIDI Files). Songs saved in 
this SMF format can be listened to on many instruments that can 
play SMF music files (p. 189). 
A song recorded using commercial music files can’t be saved in 
“Save As SMF” format for reasons of copyright protection.

You can only save songs in one 

format on a single floppy disk.

Depending on the playback 

instrument, some notes may 

drop out or sound different.

It’s a good idea to get into the 

habit of moving the write-

protect tab on the floppy disk 

to the “Protect” position when 

you’ve finished saving your 

data. Keeping the tab at 

“Protect” prevents operations 

that could erase your songs by 

mistake.
