Chapter 8. Using a Memory Card

BACKUP SAVE

This operation saves backup data (all settings of the SP-606, including the samples, pad banks, patterns, and songs) to a memory card. Up to four sets of backup data can be saved on one memory card.

Fewer sets of backup data can be saved if numerous samples have been saved on the card, reducing its remaining free capacity.

1.In the CARD UTILITY screen, use [ ][ ] to move the cursor to the “Backup Save” line.

2.Press [ENTER] to get the BACKUP SAVE screen.

Empty backup data sets are displayed as dotted lines.

You can also get to the same screen by pressing [F1] (SAVE) from the CARD UTILITY screen.

If a memory card is not inserted, the message “Card Not Ready!” will appear.

3.Turn the VALUE dial or use [ ][ ][ ][ ][DEC][INC] to select 1–4 as the “Backup” setting.

This selects the backup set in which the data is to be saved.

4.Press [F3] (EXEC) to save the backup data.

If you decide to cancel, press [F2] (CANCEL).

If the save destination you selected already contains backup data, the message “A Backup Data Already Exists! Overwrite?” will appear. If you want to overwrite the existing data, press [F3] (EXEC) or [ENTER]. If you decide to cancel, press [F2] (CANCEL) or [EXIT].
