Disk mode performs disk-related functions such as loading

data from disk into the XP-80’s memory (Load), and saving a

song or sound source settings to disk (Save). You can also

format a disk or create a backup disk in this mode.

...........................................................................................................

To perform any operation in Disk mode, a 3.5" 2DD/2HD

disk is required.

Before using a new disk or one that has been used on anoth-

er device, please initialize (format) it on the XP-80. A 3.5"

2DD disk should be formatted to 720KB and 3.5" 2HD disk

to 1440KB. These are standard formats used with most song

data software and computers/instruments. If you save a

song created on the XP-80 as a Standard MIDI File, you can

use many devices to play your song.
