Information:

The MDF2 is able to receive, store, and re-transmit MIDI System Exclusive data from nearly any MIDI instrument with bulk data transmission capability, including devices made by manufactur­ers other than Yamaha. The MDF2 can also read and transmit bulk data files created by the Yamaha QX3 sequencer in that device's MDR mode. It has an interface very much like a tape player with play/stop/pause & record buttons + many more features.

Sequencer capability

The MDF2 is capable of recording sequence data to disk, and playing back this data in real time. It can also play back data files written by other MIDI devices using Standard MIDI File format 0, as well as ESEQ sequence files created by the Yamaha SY99, SY77, or QX3. Other convenient playback functions al low you to play a program of up to 99 sequence data files in a specified order, and to play back files repeatedly in an endless loop.

Ample data storage capacity

The MDF2 can store a total of 112 files—including as many as 99 bulk or sequence files—on each 2DD floppy disk. If necessary, a single bulk or sequence data file can occupy the disk's total capacity of roughly 600 kilobytes of data. In sequencer mode, this corresponds to approximately 80,000 notes' worth of sequence data.

Portability

Since the MDF2 can be powered by batteries as well as by an optional AC adapter, you can use it anywhere, anytime. Six "AA" size batteries will give you approximately four hours of continuous operation
