■Transfer a backup file from
the instrument to a computer
You can use the Musicsoft Downloader to transfer
"Backup Files" (page 49) including the five User
Songs stored on the instrument, to a computer. If
you click "Electronic Musical Instruments" in the
Musicsoft Downloader display, and then "System
Drive", a file named "08PG76.BUP" will appear in
the lower right corner of the Musicsoft
Downloader display. This is the backup file. For
details about how to transmit backup file using the
Musicsoft Downloader application, refer to the
Online help "Transferring Data Between the Com-
puter and Instrument (for unprotected data)" sec-
tion in the application.
NOTE
• Preset Song data cannot be transmitted from the instrument.
CAUTION
• The backup data, including the five User Songs is transmitted/
received as a single file. As a result, all backup data will be over-
written every time you transmit or receive. Keep this in mind when
transferring data.
CAUTION
• Do not rename the backup file on the computer. If you do so, it will
not be recognized when transferred to the instrument.
