Whenever you switch songs or turn off the power, the
D32XD/D16XD’s Auto Save function will automatically save
(to the hard drive) the songs or parameters that you recorded
or edited.
This means that you do not need to perform any particular
operations to save your data (→p.42 “Saving a song”).
You do need to save the effect settings if you have edited effect pro-
grams.
The data saving operations explained in this section are used
when you have created important data on the D32XD/
D16XD that you want to save on a CD-R/RW or your com-
puter, or when you want to delete data from the hard disk to
obtain more free space.
Depending on the type of data, you can use either Backup or
Export to save it.
Data you back up can be used again by restoring or import-
ing it.
For details on the file names, restrictions, and filename exten-
sions of the data that you can backup/restore or export/im-
port, refer to “More about drives and files” (→p.173).
If you want to save data on your computer, first store the data in
the PC drive of the D32XD/D16XD’s hard disk, and then save
that data on your computer.
The following table shows the data you can save.
Data save/load methods and types of file that can be saved

been finalized.

A file name is assigned automatically (→p.174).
If you want to edit the file name, press the Rename but-
ton.
