Disk Operations
The DGX-500/300 features a convenient floppy disk drive — built right into the instrument. Let
you record and play back your own original User Songs, it allows you to save and load impor-
tant DGX-500/300 data.
Moreover, since the DGX-500/300 is compatible with a wide variety
of disk formats, you can play back song data on commercially avail-
able GM (General MIDI), DOC (Disk Orchestra Collection), and
Clavinova Disklavier Piano Soft disks.
It also allows you to save and play back Standard MIDI File (SMF)
format 0 data.
The DGX-500/300 can also be used with the included disk or com-
mercially available Style File data, allowing you to load additional
styles (auto accompaniment patterns) to the instrument. Style File
data is loaded individually as style number 136, and can be played
just like the preset styles. Once loaded, the Style File data can then
be saved in combination with User songs.
■ Data that Can be Saved or Loaded with the DGX-500/300
■ Using Commercially Available Music Data (sold separately)
The DGX-500/300 is compatible with music disks (floppy disks) that bear the fol-
lowing marks:
You can playback song files collected on these disks using the voices
defined in the GM standard. (See page 75)
“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures
that any GM-compatible music data can be accurately played by any
GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of manufacturer. The GM
mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that support GM
System Level 1. The DGX-500/300 supports GM System Level 1.
As its name implies, “XGlite” is a simplified version of Yamaha’s high-
quality XG tone generation format. Naturally, you can play back any
XG song data using an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind
that some songs may play back differently compared to the original data,
due to the reduced set of control parameters and effects.
You can playback song files collected on these disks using the voices
defined in Yamaha’s DOC format. (See page 75)
The DOC voice allocation format provides data playback compatibility
with a wide range of Yamaha instruments and MIDI devices, including
the Clavinova series.
You can load and play with the style files collected on these disks. (See
page 79)
The Style File Format — SFF — is Yamaha’s original style file format
which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality auto-
matic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. The DGX-
500/300 uses the SFF data internally, reading from optional SFF style
disks.
• While any of the disk-related dis-
plays are shown (called up by
pressing the LOAD, SAVE, or
UTILITY buttons), no panel oper-
ations can be executed (except
for disk operations), and playing
the keyboard does not produce
any sound.

• User Songs and Disk Style data
(style number 136) are saved
and loaded as a single file on the
DGX-500/300.
• To ensure proper data storage,
use only disks that have been
formatted on the DGX-500/300
(page 81).
• The three letters following the file
name (after the period) are
referred to as a file “extension.”
The extension indicates the type
of file.
