1-1 |Handling Precautions
Power Supply
® Make sure to use only the YAMAHA power adapter
suitable for your area.
> USA, Canada, and Europe (except U.K.): PA-3L or
PA-4 (PA-40 for the USA).
P Other areas: PA-4.
e Ín case of electrical storm probability, unplug the power
cord from the electrical socket in advance.
e If you will not use the MDR-3 for a long period of time,
unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet.
Power Cord
e Be careful not to touch the power plug with wet hands;
you may receive an electric shock.
e To prevent damage and short-circuiting of the cord wires,
always hold the plug when unplugging the cord and never
pull on the cord.
Connection
® Before connecting the MDR-3, make sure that the POWER
switch of the Electone is turned OFF.
® Before transporting the MDR-3, make sure to disconnect
its power cord and MIDI cables.
Handling
® Never remodel the MDR-3 nor disassemble its parts your-
self. Such actions can cause serious damage to the MDR-3.
® Never subject the buttons and switches to unnecessary
force.
® To prevent damage and short-circuiting of the cord wires,
always hold the plug when unplugging the cord and never
pull on the cord.
e If water accidentally enters inside the MDR-3, immediately
turn OFF the POWER switch, unplug the power cord, and
contact the Yamaha Music Dealer where you purchased
this unit.
Choosing an Installation Site
® Avoid places exposed to direct sunlight.
® Avoid places exposed to excessive moisture, dust, and
excessively low temperatures.
Cleaning the Outer Case
e Clean the outer case by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
® Never use thinner, benzine, chemically harsh solvents nor
chemically-treated cloths.
® If the case is particularly dirty, moisten a soft, clean cloth
in a mild detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth out
well, then wipe off the soiled areas. Next, wipe the unit
again with a dry cloth.
If the MDR-3 Operates Abnormally
®lf the MDR-3 produces an abnormal odor or smoke,
immediately unplug the power cord and contact the
Yamaha Music Dealer where you purchased this unit.
Disk Compatibility
® Be sure to use only 3.5-inch doubled-sided double-
density (2DD) microfloppy disks. Other disk types are
incompatible with the MDR-3 and may lead to mechanical
failure, data errors, or other problems.
© Before recording a performance on a new disk, make sure
to format that disk first. (“page 5)
Precautions on Microfloppy Disk Use
® Never open the disk’s shutter. Dirt or dust on the internal ‘ 1
magnetic surface will cause data errors.
® Never leave disks near a speaker, TV, or other device that
emits a strong magnetic field.
® Do not store them in places exposed to direct sunlight or
sources of high temperature.
e Do not place heavy objects, such as books or notebooks,
on top of the disks.
® Avoid getting the disks wet by spilling water, etc.
e Make sure to store the disks within the below environment:
D Storage temperature: 49 to 53%C (39° 10 127°Е)
P Storage humidity: 8 to 90% RH
P Location where disks are unlikely to be exposed to
dust, sand, smoke, etc.
®Be sure to apply the label at the proper position. To
change the label, never cover the old label with a new
label; always remove the old label first.
The Write-Protect Tab
® Write-Protect ON: When the Write-Protect tab is moved
toward the outside of the disk, data cannot be written to
the disk so the current data will be protected.
® Write-Protect OFF: When the Write-Protect tab is moved
toward the inside of the disk, data can be written to the disk.

be recorded separately from your performance at the Lower
Keyboard (the LOWER part). When you finish performing,
press [STOP].
NOTE: If you record your performance on the Lower Keyboard
according to the above steps, the Arpeggio Chord Voice will be
sounded independently of the rhythm so your exact perform-
ance will be recorded.

lll. PLAYBACK
Г
Normal Playback
You can play back your recorded Electone performance by simply pressing [PLAY]. Registrations and other data will
also be recalled to the Electone.
© Select the Song No. to be played back.
A Song No. from 01 to 16 can be selected. Use the [SONG
SELECT] buttons to change the numeral at the Digital Display
and select the desired Song No.
[+]: Each time [+] is pressed, the Song No. is increased by
one, and returns to “01” after “16”.
D> [—]: Each time this button is pressed, the Song No. is
decreased by one, and returns to “16” after “01”.
NOTE: In STOP status, the parts that can be played back are
indicated by lit lamps at the PLAY section. Whenever MDR-3 is
turned ON, the lamps of all parts from [UPPER] to [CONTROL]
will be lit; this indicates that a regular performance at the
Electone can be played back.
(2) Press [PLAY].
The PLAY lamp lights up, then the Registrations and other data
are transmitted from MDR-3 to the Electone first. During this
time, a “_" mark moves from left to right at the Digital Display
to indicate that the Registrations and other data are being
transmitted to the Electone.
NOTE: The time required to transmit Registrations and other
data will be identical to the time that was required during
recording. (*page 6)
(3) The time appears at the Digital Display, and playback
‘of the performance is started.
When the transmission of Registrations and other data is
completed, numerals indicating the elapsed playback time
appear at the Digital Display and playback is started.
NOTE: Playback of the performance may not always start
immediately after the playback time appears at the Digital
Display. During recording, if some time passed after the avail-
able memory display appeared at the Digital Display and
before you began performing, the start of playback will also be
delayed for the same amount of time.
CAUTION: During playback, never turn OFF the POWER
switch of MDR-3 nor press the EJECT button.
[Stopping Playback]
When the recorded performance is played back until its end,
playback is automatically stopped and MDR-3 resumes STOP
status.
To stop playback before the end of the performance, press
[STOP] and MDR-3 immediately resumes STOP status.
In either of the above cases, you can restart playback from the
beginning by pressing [PLAY] again (or pressing [SHIFT]+
[CUSTOM PLAY).
[CUSTOM PLAY: For Playback of Only the Performance]
If you wish to play back only the performance without the
Registrations and other data, start playback by holding down
[SHIFT] while you press [CUSTOM PLAY].
When [SHIFT]+ [CUSTOM PLAY] are pressed, the playback
time immediately appears at the Digital Display, then the
playback of the performance is started.

This function lets you copy the data recorded at a Song No. to another Song No.
[To Copy the Data of Song No. 07 to Song No. 09]
(1) Use [SONG SELECT] to select the source Song No. of
the Song Copy job.
Use [SONG SELECT] to display the source Song No. that contains
the recorded data you wish to copy at the Digital Display.
NOTE: Before recording a specific part over again or other
similar cases, you can protect the previously recorded per-
formance by copying the recorded Performance data to a
different Song No.
(2) Hold down [SHIFT] while you press [SONG COPY
FROM].
The Song No. you selected in Step (1) appears at the two
leftmost columns of the Digital Display as the source Song No.
And “— —” is displayed at the two rightmost columns of the
Digital Display to indicate that the destination Song No. has not
yet been specified.
NOTE: If the Song No. selected in Step (1) contains no recorded
data, MDR-3 automatically searches for and displays the next
Song No. (in numeric order) which contains recorded data.
NOTE: Even after completing Step (2), you can still use [SONG
SELECT] to select a different source Song No.
(3) Hold down [SHIFT] while you press [SONG COPY TO].
MDR-3 automatically searches for a Song No. that contains no
recorded data, and displays its number at the two rightmost
columns of the Digital Display as the destination Song No.
NOTE: If all Song Nos. already contain recorded data, “FULL”
appears at the Digital Display. The Song Copy job cannot be
executed in this case, so press [STOP] then perform the Song
Delete job to erase the data of any unnecessary Song Nos.
(page 19)
(4) Use [SONG SELECT] to select the destination Song No.
of the Song Copy job.
If you wish to select a different destination Song No. than the
one that is displayed, use [SONG SELECT]. MDR-3 will only
search for Song Nos. that contain no recorded data and display
them sequentially at the two rightmost columns of the Digital
Display.
(5) Press [RECORD].
The RECORD lamp stops blinking and remains lit, then the
Song Copy job is executed. The Digital Display displays the file
size of the source Song No. as a numeric value which decreases
as the Song data is copied. When the displayed value reaches
“000”, the Song Copy job is completed and STOP status is
automatically resumed.
NOTE: If the disk has no available memory at the time the
Song Copy procedure is performed, “FULL” appears at the
Digital Display to indicate that the Song Copy job cannot be
executed.

During Custom recording, Registrations and other data are not
recorded. In case an HS or HX Series Electone is used, the data that
can be recorded consists of the following.
® Data memorized at the Registration Memory *1
e Data of the C.S.P./R.S.P. (HS Series) or Sequencer (HX Series)
® Data of User Rhythm patterns or User Rhythmic patterns (HS
Series only).
e Data of User Voices.
e F.M.P. data (HS Series) *2
e Data of the current Registration *3
*1: With an HX Series Electone, Registration data that cannot be
memorized at Registration Memory (Vibrato, Combi. User
Voices, Effectors, etc.) can also be recorded.
*2: With an HS Series Electone, you can disable the transmission of
F.M.P. data as follows: Display the MULTI MENU 10 display,
then hold down [EXTERNAL /MIDI CONTROL] while you press
[UPPER ORCHESTRAL DEPTH]. If you perform this step before
starting recording, you can reduce the amount of time required
for recording Registrations and other data at MDR-3.
*3: The data which is currently set at the Electone panel at the time
recording is started will be recorded separately from the
Registration Memory data. Note that only this current Registra-
tion data is recorded during Custom recording and that its
corresponding panel settings will also be recalled to the
Electone during Custom playback.
The data Recorded at E] = Performance data
The basic Performance data — which indicates the timing at which
a key was pressed and released (Key ON/OFF status), the note to
be played, and its volume level — and the Control data of the
Expression Pedal, etc. are recorded at El. In case an HS or HX
Series Electone is used, the Performance data of each part recorded
at MDR-3 will conform to the table below.
e The various data recorded at | are called “MIDI Channel
Messages.” The Performance data of each Electone keyboard
(each part) is sent to a different channel, and MDR-3 records that
data using the Channel Nos. listed below. (In the Control part,
Exclusive Messages are also recorded.)
Recorded Part Recorded Data Recording CH
[UPPER] Performance data of the Upper Keyboard (Key ON/OFF status, After Touch, Sustain ON/OFF status) *1 1
[LOWER] Performance data of the Lower Keyboard (Key ON/OFF status, After Touch, Sustain ON/OFF status) *1 2
[PEDAL] Performance data of the Pedal Keyboard (Key ON/OFF status, After Touch, Sustain ON/OFF status) *1 3
[CONTROL] Control data indicating changes at the Expression Pedal, Registration Memory selection, and so on. *2 16
[SHIFT] +[UPPER] | Performance data of the Lead Voice (Key ON/OFF status, After Touch) *3 4
[SHIFT] + [LOWER] | Performance data of the Arpeggio Chord Voice (Key ON/OFF status, After Touch) (HS Series only) *4 5
[SHIFT] +{PEDAL] | Performance data of Keyboard Percussion (Key ON/OFF status) *5 15
“1: With an HS Series Electone, the data indicating changes in
Registration Memory selection is also recorded.
*2: Exclusive Messages, which contain the data of Fill In patterns,
Intro/Ending patterns, Foot Switch control, Knee Lever control,
Tempo, and changes in the panel switches, are also recorded.
In case an HS-8 or HX Series Electone is used, the Control data
of the Modulation Wheel, 2nd Expression Pedal, and Pitch
Wheel are also recorded.
*3: The received Upper Keyboard Performance data (Channel 1) is
recorded over Channel 4 instead. If Channel 4 signals are
received, they will be directly recorded at Channel 4.
*4: The received Lower Keyboard Performance data (Channel 2) is
recorded over Channel 5 instead. If Channel 5 signals are
received, they will be directly recorded at Channel 5.
*D: The received Lower and Pedal Keyboard Performance data
(Channels 2 and 3) is recorded over Channel 15 instead. If
Channel 15 signals are received, they will be directly recorded
at Channel 15.
The data Recorded at [§ =Rhythm Start/Stop and other data
The Rhythm Start /Stop data and other Realtime Messages can be
recorded separately from В.
e Rhythm Start/Stop data *1
® Clock data *2
*1: The Start/Stop data of the C.S.P./R.S.P. (HS Series) or of the
Sequencer (HX Series) is also recorded.
*2: Clock messages (F8H) will only be recorded at MDR-3 during
the first Record job.
20
NOTE: The Rhythm Start/Stop data and the data of Channels 6 to
14 are recorded during the first recording job and will not be
rewritten during subsequent recording jobs. It is possible to rewrite
the data of Channels 6 to 14 during a subsequent recording job,
however, if all of its recorded parts in Bn have been turned OFF,

Troubleshooting
4 Please note that the occurrence of any of the symptoms described below does not indicate a mechanical failure.
Symptom
Cause and Solution
Recording or playback cannot be performed.
(1 Improper execution of recording or playback is sometimes caused by improper
operation of MDR-3 or an incompatible power supply.
(2) The PLAY section button for selecting the required parts may be turned OFF.
Turn ON the necessary PLAY section part buttons.
(3) The Electone’s Receiving Channel may be different from the Channel No. used
by MDR-3 for recording. Check the settings of the Electone’s Receiving Channels.
A total of 16 songs cannot be recorded.
If a single Song No. contains a large volume of recorded data, the disk may not
have enough available memory left to record the maximum of 16 songs.
Recording is stopped before the performance
is finished, or the Song Copy job cannot be
performed.
The amount of recorded data on the disk is already close to the maximum limit.
Either use another disk or delete the data of any unnecessary Song Nos.
(page 19)
The playback of the performance differs
from the recording.
Certain Electone models that can be used for recording are functionally incapable
of transferring Performance data as MIDI signals. Before recording the perform-
ance of an Electone that is not of the HS or HX Series, be sure to check its MIDI
specifications.
In addition to the Upper Keyboard or Lower
Keyboard performance, a performance using
a Lead Voice or Arpeggio Chord Voice
(HS Series only) cannot be recorded or
played back.
(When recording, you forgot to turn ON [RECORD] then hold down [SHIFT]
while you turned ON [UPPER] (Lead Voice) or [LOWER] (Arpeggio Chord Voice).
(2 The Lead Voice or Arpeggio Chord Voice performance was not assigned to a
separate Receiving Channel. Other causes may be involved, so check the
procedure for recording a Lead Voice or Arpeggio Chord Voice part. (™ pages 10
and 11)
The Keyboard Percussion performance is
not recorded, or it is recorded but a different
rhythm is played back.
When recording, you forgot to turn ON [RECORD] then hold down [SHIFT] while
you turned ON [PEDAL] (Keyboard Percussion). Other causes may be involved, so
check the procedure for recording a Keyboard Percussion part. (>page 12)
The rhythm does not start at the beginning
of recording, or the rhythm starts but stops
in the middle of the performance.
MDR-3 is designed so that the rhythm cannot be started at the very beginning of
recording. If you wish to use the rhythm, start it after the available memory
display appears at the Digital Display.
When a Fast Forward or Fast Reverse opera-
tion is performed, the timing of the rhythm
and of the performance go out of sync.
Unless you are using an HS or HX Series Electone, do not perform the Fast
Forward or Fast Reverse operations.
The played back notes of the Electone are
sounded continuously.
During playback, you turned OFF the POWER switch or removed the disk by
pressing [EJECT]. Whenever you wish to stop the playback, always press [STOP].
When playback is attempted using a non-
Electone instrument, the notes are continu-
ously sounded.
Because MDR-3 is a dedicated performance recorder for Electone use, it may
sound notes continuously if it is connected to a non-Electone instrument; this does
not indicate, however, a mechanical failure of MDR-3.
