Re: [casiocollectors] Casio FD-1 MIDI file player

2013-02-20 by Tom Green

Hi Graham!

Nice one! You've probably already seen this but,... (From < http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/timsaddler/smf.html>)

"I have just acquired a Casio FD-1 for about £80. This is a very simple unit along the lines of the Yamaha MDF2.
The Casio FD-1 only plays back Format 0 Smf's, but has the great advantage of using High Density Floppy Disks.
There is only a Stop and Start button as well as Tempo and Song Select Buttons.For ease of use, I pre-arrange the song playback order and use the stop button when required."

Just scored one of these for $21...nifty little floppy drive MIDI data player. Good as an emergency backup sequencer - portable, runs off DC voltage. It would be nice if it also could save and send sysex data dumps from instruments(I doubt it - I need to find a manual for it to find out). Anyone use one of these??

Cheers, Graham
