you must connect the DP-01 to a PC and manage the files from the PC.

Advanced techniques

5Press ENTER to back up the song to the FAT partition. An error mes- sage appears if there is not enough space.

The song is then copied as an archive from the current partition to the FAT partition (with a .001 extension). Messages appear on the screen as the DP-01 goes through the file archiving process.

6Connect the DP-01 to the computer using the USB cable, and “open” the drive (““Open” and “Close”” on page 45).

7Use the PC operating system to copy or move the song archive from the BACKUP directory of the DP-01 FAT partition to the PC.

Once the song archive is on the PC, you can “close” the DP-01.

The song archive on the PC can then be backed up to CD-R, etc. You can restore it later to the same DP-01 or to a friend’s DP-01, allowing you to complete the recording at another location, or perform the final mix where there are better speakers available, etc.

Restoring a song

This is basically the reverse of the backup process, allowing you to transfer a song archive from a PC to the DP-01.

1Connect the DP-01 to the PC using the USB cable, and “open” the drive (““Open” and “Close”” on page 45).

2Use the PC operating system to copy the song archive from the PC to the BACKUP directory of the DP-01 FAT partition.

3“Close” the DP-01.

4Press MENU and select the BACKUP menu.

5

Select the SONG RESTORE action and press the

key. The display

 

shows the song archive files on the FAT partition

 

6Select a song archive using the jog wheel and press ENTER. The cur- rent song is saved.

7The “real” song name is extracted from the archive and shown:

8Press ENTER to load the archived song as the current song. Appropri- ate messages are shown if there is not enough disk space, etc.

You should not rename the song archive on the PC as this may “con-

fuse” the DP-01 when you come to restore it.

If there are no song archive files on the FAT partition, a message is shown.

Although the DP-01 displays shorter file names with spaces at the end of

the name, these spaces are not part of the actual file name.
