Backing up V-Synth patches and

To back up the internal data of the V-Synth, you will use the V-Synth's USB
connection in Storage mode to copy all data of the internal disk onto a drive
(e.g., hard disk) of your computer.

Use a USB cable to connect the V-Synth to your computer as described in
"Connecting your computer" (p.91) in the owner's manual. Then in the
"USB Storage screen," select "Internal" and the internal memory of the
V-Synth will appear on your computer as a drive named "V-SYNTH."
2.
On your computer, select all the files and folders within the "V-SYNTH"
drive, and copy them onto a drive (e.g., hard disk) of your computer.
3.
After copying the data, operate your computer as described in
"Disconnecting the USB connection" (p.92) of the owner's "Closing the
USB storage screer" and manual, and then disconnect the USB cable from
the V-Synth.
