MRM -500 is a software program which converts Song Files created on MC series sequencers into Standard MIDI Files. Conversely, it converts Standard MIDI Files into Song Files that are compatible with any MC series unit. To become familiar with all the features this package offers, and to ensure satisfaction for years to come, please read this Owner’s Manual in its entirety before starting out.

Observe the following when handling disks: - Never touch the magnetic surface of the disk. - Do not subject disks to temperature extremes (eg. direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle). Recommended temperature range: 10 to 50 °C . - Do not expose disks to strong magnetic fields such as those generated by loudspeakers. # Floppy disks contain a “write protect” switch which can protect a disk from accidental erasure. It is recommended that the switch be kept in the “protect” position and moved only when you wish to write new data onto the disk. # All important data should be copied onto backup disks. This provides a complete duplicate of the data should the original disk be lost or damaged. # Words (or numbers) enclosed with [__[indicate specific keys on the panel of an MC series unit. Thus, DU1' s number 1 on the Ten-keys (numeric keypad), and [ ENTER 1 is the Enter key. Whenever such a representation appears during the explanation of a procedure, it means that you should press the key once and release it. # Whenever a combination such as [ SHIFT |+ [ MODE 1 appears, it means (in this example) that you must hold down the SHIFT button while you press the MODE button. # Whenever a series such as [ SHIFT [ + [ MODE [ —» | 1 [ —» [ ENTER [appears, it means that you must press the keys in the order indicated. Thus, for the above example, you would: Hold down the SHIFT button while you press the MODE button; then press Ten-key number I; and finally, press the ENTER key. Always carefully observe the order in which the buttons (keys) are to be pressed. # Whenever you are directed to refer to information appearing on another page in this manual, you will see something like this: (o- P_ s(c ), # Identification labels should be firmly fixed to the disks. Should a label come loose while the disk is in the drive, it may be difficult to remove the disk. Я OVERVIEW The MRM-500 Conversion Package (hereafter abbreviated as “MRM”), provides the tools for making conversions between Song Files created using an MC series unit, and standard MIDI Files. MRM opens up new possibilities by allowing you to interchange song data created by MC series units with that of sequencing software used on personal computers. MRM thus allows you to quickly and conveniently take song data created on a computer, and use it on your MC series sequencer. 1. What are MIDI Files? MIDI Files were devised to make it simpler for song data created on different sequencers to be interchanged. Since MIDI Files employ a format which is universally recognizable by a majority of sequencers, ...
