Transferring a backup file from the PSR-E313/YPT-310 to a computer

You can transfer backup data (page 31) to a computer as a “backup file” by using Musicsoft Downloader. For details about how to transmit backup files using the Musicsoft Downloader application, refer to the Online help topic “Transferring Data Between the Computer and Instrument (for unprotected data)” of the Musicsoft Downloader.

NOTE

Preset Song data cannot be transmitted from the PSR-E313/YPT-310.

Do not rename the backup file on the com- puter. If you do so, it will not be recognized when transferred to the instrument.

CAUTION

The backup data, including the five User Songs is transmitted/received as a single file. As a result, all backup data (including the five Songs) will be overwritten every time you transmit or receive. Keep this in mind when transferring data.

Using Transferred Songs for Lessons

In order to use Songs (only SMF format 0) transferred from a computer for lessons it is necessary to specify which channels are to be played back as the right-hand and left-hand parts. Refer to the “Lesson Track (R)” or “Lesson Track (L)” in the Function Setting List on page 60. The procedure for setting the “guide track” is as follows: Select a transferred Song you want to use for lessons. Press the [FUNCTION] button a number of times until the “R-Part” or “L-Part” appears in the display, and then use the number buttons [0]–[9], [+], [-] to select the channel you want to play back as the specified right- or left-hand part.

We recommend that you select channel 1 for the right-hand part and channel 2 for the left-hand part.
