Formatting the hard disk
When the installation is finished, connect the power plug and
turn the instrument on. You must format the hard disk
before using it.
1. Press DISK to access the Disk environment.
2. Select the 'Format' page.
3. Move the Hard disk option to the first line of the display.
4. Press F2 (Format) to con?rm formatting.
5. The 'Delete all data?' message appears on the display;
press ENTER to confirm, EXIT to abort.
6. The 'Please press F4 to continue' message appears on
the display; press F4 to confirm, EXIT to abort.[/quote]

What is pre recorded beats? Where do you have its? On PC as MIDI files, or somhing else?
If you want to make KORG STYLE, you need software only.
