Whenever you switch songs or turn off the power, the
D1200’s Auto Save function will automatically save (to the
hard disk) the songs or parameters that you recorded or ed-
ited.
This means that you do not need to perform any particular
operations to save your data.
You do need to save the effect settings if you have edited
effect programs.
The data saving operations explained in this section are used
when you have created important data on the D1200 that
you want to save on a CD-R/RW or your computer, or when
you want to delete data from the hard disk to obtain more
free space.
If you want to save data to your computer, you must first
save the data on the USB drive of the internal hard disk, and
then save that data on your computer.
You can save the following data.
• Song data
•Effect user data
•WAV files: audio files in WAV format
Creating an audio CD will not save the parameter set-
tings that were used to create the songs. To save this da-
ta, you must back it up.
1. Backing up and restoring song
data
1-1. Backing up song data
You can back up song data in two ways.
Backup1Song: Back up the selected song.
BackupAllSongs: Back up all songs (only to CD-R/RW).
•Effect user data will also be saved.
•A backed-up song cannot be played back directly. In
order to play the song, you must Restore it.
Backing up to CD-R/RW
Here’s how to back up all songs to one or more CD-R/
RW discs.
No further data can be stored on a CD-R/RW disc that
has been used for backup.
CD-R/RW discs created by the backup operation are
not in ISO9660 format. This data cannot be read by a
computer, or played back by a CD player.
1 Insert a CD-R/RW disc into the CD-R/RW drive. You
must use a blank (empty) disc. If you want to erase
existing data from a CD-RW disc to make it blank, fol-
low the procedure described in “Erase a CD-RW disc”
(→p.106).
2 Select “BackupAllSongs.”
In the [SYSTEM/USB] “B-U/Rst” tab page, select “B-U/
RstType,” and turn the [VALUE] dial to select “Back-
upAllSongs.” You can also select the “ ” button and
press the [ENTER] key to view and choose “Select
Backup/Restore Type.”
3 Verify the songs that will be backed up.
Make sure that “Source” is set to “ALL.”
4 Select the backup-destination drive.
Select the “Drive” button and press the [ENTER] key to
open the dialog box. Select “C:CD” and press the [YES/
OK] key.
5 Check the backup-destination drive and the drive infor-
mation.
Make sure that “Destination” is set to C:CD. The display
will indicate the number of CD-R/RW discs required.
You will need to provide the required number of discs of
that capacity.
When using multiple discs, we recommend that you
number them beforehand.
6 Back up the data.
Select the “Exec.” button and press the [ENTER] key to
access the confirmation screen. Here you can specify the
writing speed.
•Press the [YES/OK] key to begin the backup. User
effect data will also be backed up at this time.
• If you need to use multiple discs, a dialog box will
appear when one disc is full, asking you to insert the
next disc. Insert the next disc and press the [YES/
OK] key.
