Data Backup

Data Backup

For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you save your important data to your computer by using the application Musicsoft Downloader (MSD). This provides a convenient backup if the internal memory is damaged (refer to the “Accessory CD-ROM for Windows Installation Guide”).

ENGLISH

Data that can be saved

• Panel settings and recorded User songs

Panel settings are the same data that can be backed up using the Backup Functions (page 70). You can save the panel settings and recorded User songs as one file.

• 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 installation, see the separate Installation Guide.

For connection, see page 75.

2. Move the data to the computer.

By using the MSD, save the “CLP-xxx.BUP” file from “System Drive” under “Electronic Musical Instruments” to the computer.

The “CLP-xxx.BUP” file contains the panel settings and recorded User songs. Also, if you store 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 “CLP- xxx.BUP” file and the External songs under the folders to which you saved the files.

NOTE

The file described in #1 at left cannot be saved to a USB storage device (CLP-370/340).

NOTE

When MSD is started on a computer connected to the instru- ment, “con (computer connection)” appears in the dis- play. When this indication appears, you cannot operate the instrument.

NOTE

The Musicsoft Downloader cannot be used when the instrument is in the following state:

During Demo mode.

During song playback.

During Record mode.

During file operation (one of the [FILE] button indicators is lit).

NOTE

The panel settings and User songs (CLP-xxx.BUP file) remain in the instrument after being saved to the computer.
