Using the USB connection

Using the USB connection
You can use a personal computer to read and write from the FAT
partition of the hard disk.
Data transfer between a personal computer and the DP 01 is always done
through this FAT partition. You cannot access "native" partitions from a
computer, so performing data transfer functions is a two stage process.
Within the FAT partition, there are three directories (folders):
and , as explained below.
UTILITY
You can make the following transfers:
Whole songs—the DP-01 calls this
directory of the FAT partition to the PC) and

Tracks in WAV format—tracks can be exported (one or more at a time)
as WAV files, or imported (one at a time) from WAV files between the
PC and the directory of the FAT partition of the DP-01.
WAVE
Mastered stereo mixes—export only, as stereo WAV files to the
directory of the FAT partition of the DP-01.

System requirements

The DP 01 will work with the following Microsoft operating systems: Win
dows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. It will also work with the fol
lowing operating systems from Apple Computer: MacOS 9.0 and above,
and MacOS X 10.2 and above.
For all the above operating systems, no driver is required. The DP 01 sim
ply appears as a removable disk.
However, you should always follow your computer's instructions on how to
disconnect a USB removable drive safely from your system. If you do not
do this, there is a risk of data corruption in the DP 01's FAT partition.
Disconnecting from Windows ME / 2000 / XP systems
Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the procedure is a little
more complex than simply unplugging the DP 01.
In the system tray (typically at the bottom right of the screen), you see an
icon of a PC card and an arrow.

Left-click this icon to show a popup bar. Click this popup bar to allow
the DP-01 to be removed from the computer.
