Roland MSD Music Style Disks
The MSD Series of Music Style Disks offer an inexpensive way to broaden the
selection of music styles available for the E-66 Intelligent Synthesizer.
Each 3.5" floppy disk contains 16 music styles, covering blues to samba and
swing as well as many other international styles.
The MSD Series allows you to enjoy realtime performance, taking advantage of the
Intelligent Arranger function with complete accompaniments of up to 8 parts.

Major Features

  • 16 Styles on each disk.
  • 3.5" floppy disk format.
  • For use with the E-66 Intelligent Synthesizer.
  • Contain the most popular Styles from Roland's style library.
  • Styles to be loaded from disk to the E-66 as one of four User Styles for instant access.

Loading styles from disk

You can load up to four styles from an Music Style Disk into E-66 User Style locations (underlined in white in the MUSIC STYLE section).

  1. Insert a Music Style Disk with prerecorded styles and wait for the disk LED in the display section to go out (approximately 5 seconds).
  2. Press the yellow LOAD button located in the MUSIC STYLE section. The LED Load indicator will blink, showing that it's ready to load. The display will read "d01", the number of the selected Style.
  3. To choose a different style, use the two black PREV and NEXT buttons located in the display section.
  4. Press one of the four USER STYLE buttons located in the MUSIC STYLE section. The LOAD button's LED will remain lit until loading is complete.
  5. Once the Load LED begins flashing again, you may :
    a) load another style by repeating steps 2 - 4, or b) return to Play mode by pressing the Load button (the Load LED will go out).

The E-66 is shipped with MSD-101, a collection of sixty-six styles from the TN-SC2 and E-70 style libraries.
