I will try that... what is strange is that I am trying to use both a professionally made floppy that works on my friend's PSR-630 or a disk that I made recently that worked just fine in a PSR-740 I borrowed for a gig last month. Let me ask you this: when you insert a floppy in the drive does all its data automatically pop up in the PSR 620 window?
I just acquired a PSR-630 and I have a question on how to use the floppy disk to play Midi tracks. As opposed to my friend's PSR-730 - or 740], where I insert the disk and all the songs show up on the screen, When I insert a floppy into the PSR-630, either nothing happens or it asks me if I want to format the disk.... And yes, I am 100% that the test floppy disk works. Is there something I need to do to get the floppy to be 'recognized?'
Taping or otherwise covering the bottom right hole on a HD 3½-inch disk enables it to be 'downgraded' to DD format. This may be done for reasons such as compatibility issues with older computers, drives or devices that use DD floppies, like some electronic keyboard instruments and samplers[27] where a 'downgraded' disk can be useful, as factory-made DD disks have become hard to find after the mid-1990s. See the section "Compatibility" above.

Hi
to play a midi-file on my PSR-620 i must copy the Files to my Hard-Drive and send it with MIDI to the Keyboard.
i can't test it now, because i don't have a Floppy-Drive on my new Computer-System.
But i think to remember it never worked correctly.
Maybe the problem is MIDI-Format=0?????????
i use old DD 720KB Disks (only with one Hole) to save Songs & Styles etc.
Sorry, i will test it with my oldest computer and then i send you a message.

The PSR-620 uses only 3.5 2DD floppy disks. Before you can use a new disk for saving data, the disk
must be formatted
DD means 720KB not HD 1.44MB.
Sorry i have the same problem
