Backing up Data and Initializing the data

Data Backup

For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you save your important data to your com-
puter by using the application Musicsoft Downloader (MSD). This provides a convenient backup if
the internal memory is damaged.
Data that can be saved
• Panel settings
Panel settings are the same data that can be backed up using the Backup Functions
(page 50). You can save the panel settings and recorded User songs as one file.
• Recorded User songs
• External songs received via computer.
This includes external songs saved from the computer by using Musicsoft Downloader.
Procedure
1.
Install the USB MIDI driver and the MSD to your
computer (Windows), then connect the computer
and the instrument.
For connection, see page 52.
2.
Move the data to the computer.
By using the MSD, save the "10YDP.BUP" file from "System Drive" under "Elec-
tronic Musical Instruments" to the computer.
The "10YDP.BUP" file contains the panel settings. Also, if you store recorded
User songs and the external songs in the instrument from the computer, move
the songs from "Flash Memory" under "Electronic Musical Instruments" to the
computer via the MSD.
For instruction on using the MSD, see the Help in the MSD.
To recall the settings and load the songs to the instrument, move the
"10YDP.BUP" file and the External songs under the folders to which you saved
the files.

Initializing the data

Notice
When you initialize the data, all panel settings and song data will be erased and reset to
the default settings. Yamaha recommends you that you back up the data before initial-
izing.
Turn off the power to the instrument. Then turn the power on
while holding the C7 key (highest key).
Notice
Do not turn off the power to this instrument while data in internal memory is being ini-
tialized (in other words, while the "CLr" indication is shown). Doing so may corrupt the
all data on the instrument.
