Actually, I was looking for this information for 3 years!...now thanks to you, the manual is on my hands and of great help, cause I understand now where I was doing wrong connections and wires...excellent, I'll be back to you if in need, thank you.
This manual covers the main equipment features only. While it also includes the procedure for saving and loading from the now long obsolete memory cards it does not mention the how to operate with the optional floppy drive interface so I am still at a loss about how to use this! Note that there is a separate manual covering the MIDI interface and programming via the keyboard, not included in this download. You will also need to get hold of this if you want to use the MIDI interface properly. Basically there is little difference between this manual and the free to download manual for the similar PR60 model.

Chapter 4 Recording and Editing Songs (Song Edit Mode)
s Starting Realtime Recording Within a Song
You can start Realtime Recording from a point other than the beginning of the song. This is convenient when you want to insert patterns in lengthy songs. 1. With the performance stopped, press [ ] [ ] to specify the measure where recording is to begin. * When recording two-measure patterns, you cannot specify the second measure of each pattern.

s Adding Patterns at the End of a Song
You can start Realtime Recording at the end of a recorded song to add more patterns to the song. 1. With the performance stopped, hold down [SHIFT] and press [ ]. This lets you jump to the measure following the last measure of the song. 2. Select a pattern to add. Turn the TEMPO/VALUE dial to select the pattern number. * You can also select the pattern by inputting the pattern number with the numeric keys and pressing [ ]. 3. Hold down [REC] and press [START]. Recording begins from the measure number following the last measure of the song, while the additional pattern you selected starts to play. The tempo indicator flashes on each beat. * The same pattern continues to be recorded until the next pattern is selected. 4. Select the next pattern to be recorded. 5. Repeat Step 4 as needed to record additional patterns. * When Pattern 250 is reached, the message �PTN FULL� appears, and recording is ended automatically. 6. Press [STOP/CONT] to stop the recording.
