2.Saving song files via card

Even if your computer does not have a USB connector, you can use a commercially available card reader to back up the data from the card.

1Turn off the power of the D4, and remove the card. (→p.16)

2Insert the card as described in the manual of your card reader.

3Back up the data onto your computer.

If data is copied to a card of a different size than the card on which the song was created, the Undo data may be lost.

Contents of the card

The root directory of the card may contain the following files and folders.

1.Song folders

The D4 manages each song as a separate folder. As a rule, the folder name will be the same as the song name, but if you create identically-named songs, the

folder name will consist of the song name plus a tilde (~) and numeral; e.g., “~1”, “~2.”

The folder will contain the audio data files for each track, and a song management file.

When copying a song from a card to your computer, or when writing a previously-copied song back to the card, you must copy the entire folder.

If you modify or delete part of the files in a folder, it will no longer be possible to handle the song correctly.
