Please make sure that the line voltage in your country meets the requirement. '* Do not use the same socket used for any noise ‘generating device, or any device that may con- sume large emounts of power. ‘© This unit might not work properly if plugged into the wall socket while switched on, or if tunred on immediately ster being turned off, land so on. If this happens, turn the unit off, then turn it on again after waiting for a few seconds. ‘© I is normal for this unit 10 become hot while being operated. '# To avoid damaging a power cable or causing 8 shor circuit, be sure to hold the plug when dis connecting the cable from a wall socket. the Unit is not to be used for a long period of time, bbe sure to disconnect the power cable from ‘the wall socket. Location '* Do not place the MC-S00MKII in any of the fol lowing locations. Malfunctions may result if it is placed where: © there Is excessive hest (in direct sunlight, beside or on a heater, etc.) © there is excessive humility © there is & lot of vibration © Do not leave the MC-SOOMKN where it is exposed to direct sunlight or inside a ciosed car for a long period of time. Excessive heat could cause the cabinet to warp. '* Avoid placing the MC-S00MKII near # neon or fluorescent light or near cathode ray tube (television or computer display) because these devices generate noise. ‘© Do not place or drop anything heavy on the main unit or its power cable because this could damage either of these. '* Place this unit in a steady, horizontal place, Cleaning © Use a sof cloth and clean only with a mild detergent. * Do not use solvents such as paint thinner or alcohol. Miscellaneous ‘+ Never put foreign matter (a coin, 2 wire, etc) into the MC-SOOMKIL. Never spl liquids water,” soft drinks, liquor, et.) onto it either. ‘= Never push or hit the display,Note on handling the floppy disk drive ‘© The built-in disk drive of MC-SOOMKII is @ preci- sion machine. So, Please handle it gently. Espe- cially while the Disk Drive is running, do not give a strong shock to the unit. ‘© The floppy disk’s hard plastic case conceals a thin disk of plastic film coated with @ magnetic medium. Always handle with care because the slightest damage to this high-density recording medium can mean itretrievable loss of data ‘© Disks could also become erased naturally after ‘8 certain length of time. To ensure 2 iong life for your data disks, be sure to follow the instruc- tions. ‘* Hanging the floppy disk properly will maximize its life time. it, however will be erased some day in the course of nature. Piease be sure to copy the system disk onto the supplied or a brand new disk and preserve the original system disk safely. ‘© We recommens that you make 2 few copies of your Important data. © Remove the disk from the disk drive before turning on or off the unit. © Please do not touch the magnetic film, or the disk may become demaged. '* Please do not touch the shutter that covers the magnetic film. The magnetic field can be easily damaged, even by slight amount of grease. ‘© Please insert the disk securely into the disk rive. When removing the disk, push the Eject Button until it clicks. If the disk has stuck in the isk drive, do not attempt to remove it but push ‘the Ejact Button, and it will come out without any trouble. ‘© Never remove or insert the disk, or switch the unit on or off while the indicator of the disk rive is lit, or the disk may be permanentiy damaged. Be sure to protect the disk from dust. To protect the date saved on the disk from an accidental loss or overrecording, set the Protect, ‘Tab on the disk to the PROTECT position. Be sure that the label is securely attached to the disk, or the label may come off in the disk drive, making it difficult to take it out. ‘When the disk is not to be used, preserve it ver- tically in the supplied protective jacket. De not keep it on @ slant or bent. Keep the disk away from extremely hot or cold temperatures or direct sunlight. The approp- riate temperature for disk is 5 to 50°C. Do not expose the disk to strongly magnetic fields such as headphones or speakers.™@ PANEL DESCRIPTION 1.

Overview The SUPER-MRC's MODE 6 includes the function of making the SUPER-MRP’s system disk (this function is called System Generation). You must first make the SUPER-MRP's system disk using the System Generate function, then save the song files onto the system disk using the SUPER-MRC system, and set data (such as the order of songs) for each song fle with the SUPER-MAP system disk you have made Then you can play the songs just by switching the MC on and connecting the disk t0 it SUPER-MRC booted up Destination Disk SSUPER-MRC woot & SD Sinem canerten ‘Syatem Generator Ste System CONF fas fam the MRP-500 (CT te carver Suan Fe, — ‘the destination disk contains: atl ata vil be “Another Disk naires Any Song Fa ofthe MRC-500 wl be conve tothe SUPER Wit ‘Song Pe Seng Fie SURER- MR ‘SUPER-MRC — ran lace (ae) MODE 4 ‘song Fle ‘Song Date [| save Meron, SUPER-MRP booted up | supsn-wae | Seam ‘SUPER - MRP ‘Save the Sequence File ‘Set the Sequence (order of songs) an save it onto # Mone 2 ase Sone Fie(DOUTLINE OF THE SUPERMRP 2. Functions of SUPER-MRP The Rolend Performance Package SUPER-MRP is the softwere for playing performance data programmed on the SUPER-MRC or MRC-500 with ereater ease and speed on a live stage, etc. For instance, just by setting the order (sequence) of songs onto @ floppy disk, the songs will automatically start pleying by pressing the PLAY button et any time you like, The software also allows you to start or stop playing date with MIDI Start//Stop messages. Moreover, it is possible to perform Continuous Play, Repeat Play or set the Song Intervals etc. 3.About “Booting the MC” MC series devices (such as MC-S00MK Il, MC-500 and MC-300) does not function at all unless they ere activated with @ system disk such as SUPER-MRC or SUPER-MRP. Further, the same MC works differently depending on the system disk used. The system program that determines how the MC should function is saved on each system disk, and the MC reads the program when it is switched on. This initial action taken to activate the MC is called BOOTING. ‘Thus, we say you BOOT the MC with such and such system. 4, Explanation of SUPER-MRP terminology ‘The following describes the terminology frequently used in this manuel. Bank A Bank is the group of songs which can be loaded by taking one loading procedure. There ere 26 Banks, A to Z, in this software. Up ‘to 32 differant songs can be set in each Bank, and a maximum of 99 songs can be programmed far all 26 Banks. Depending on the hardware you use, the amount of song data which can be set in Bank varies. The internal memory capacity of the MC-SOOMK II is approximately equivalent to @ whole floppy disk, and that of the MC-500 or 300 @ quarter of @ floppy disk.(DOUTLINE OF THE SUPERMAP @Sequence Sequence date includes the order of the songs to be played, pause, interval and loop play settings. Each Sequence has @ Sequence number that is represented with a letter (A to Z) and @ number (1 to 99), such as [A] ~3 (the third one in Bank A). @Sequence Fil ‘Sequence file is the Sequence and Remote Control settings saved on 2 disk. One SUPER-MRP system disk can store only one Sequence File at the same time, @System Generate Writing the SUPER-MRP system program onto another disk is called System Generate. Unlike from “Initialize”, System Generate retains the song files of SUPER-MRC or the MRC-500 on the destination disk. Meanwhile, “Convert” is executed on the song files saved on the destination disk, so that the disk can be used as a SUPER-MRP system disk right away.CUOUTLINE OF THE SUPERMAP 5. Structure of the Operation Modes ‘The SUPER-MRP features three main modes, each mode having several functions : @MODE 1 : Play Mode This mode allows you to play a song file according to the set ‘Sequence. Play ‘This plays only one Bank of Sequence numbers in @ Sequence File, Ring Play ‘This plays all the Sequence numbers Sequence File.

Remote Control: ‘This sets MIDI control settings in a Sequence je in the internal memory. Load Sequence This loads @ Sequence File and the System Configuration File of the SUPER-MRC from 6 disk.

Restart ssssoThie loads the System Program all over againDisk Making Disk Making ‘The SUPER-MRP software is not provided with the function of making 2 system disk or saving song files, the following procedures (1, 2 and 3) should be taken with the SUPER-MRC already booted. 1,Making the SUPER-MRP system disk ‘The SUPER-MAP's system disk can be made as follows (System Generate procedure). {Procedure} Boot up the SUPER-MRC. @Select MODE 6.

Song files can be saved onto (or loaded from) the SUPER-MRP system disk in exactly the same way as saving the SUPER-MRC system//data disk Load the song files you wish to play into the internal memory.
