Advanced song management

Copying songs

The DP-01 disk is divided into “partitions” (see “Disk management”
on page 40). You can use different partitions for different purposes:
old songs/new songs, or instrumentals/vocal numbers, for example.
You can also use
the multiple selec-
tion procedure described in “Eras-
ing many songs at one time” on
page 22 to copy many songs at
once.
This function allows you to copy a song to another partition.
1From the SONG menu, select the COPY action:
2Highlight a song and press ENTER.
When the DP-01
leaves the factory,
the disk has three “native” parti-
tions.
3Use the jog wheel to select the “target” partition that the song will be
copied to. As you scroll through the partitions, you will see the avail-
able free space figure change, so you will always know if there is
enough space for the song.
4Press ENTER when you’ve selected the target partition.
You are asked if you want to copy the song (Are you sure?).
Press ENTER to copy the song, or EXIT to cancel the operation.
5The DP-01 then provides you with a progress report as it carries out
the copying operation. When it is finished, you see the copy screen
again.

Deleting unused data

This operation can-
not be undone.
Only do it if you are sure you do not
want the unused parts.
Because a DP-01 song is not just the parts you hear, but possibly
unused audio parts (see “About track editing” on page 50), there
may be parts which have been cut out or that you want to delete so
you don't waste hard disk space.
You can delete the unused data from the currentlyloaded song.
1From the SONG menu, select the DEL/UNUSED action:
2Press ENTER to delete the unused data, or EXIT to cancel the
operation.
