3 Use the jog wheel to move the selection cursor ( ) to the song to be
backed up. Press
ENTER.
If you do not have
enough space on
the FAT partition to back up a song,
you must connect the DP-01 to a
PC and manage the files from the
PC.
4 You can now use the left and right cursor keys and the wheel to name
the song archive (up to 8 characters) (see “Titling” on page 15) :
5 Press ENTER to back up the song to the FAT partition. An error mes-
sage appears if there is not enough space.
The song is then copied as an archive from the current partition to the
FAT partition (with a
.001 extension). Messages appear on the screen as
the DP-01 goes through the file archiving process.
6 Connect the DP-01 to the computer using the USB cable, and “open”
the drive (““Open” and “Close”” on page 45).
7 Use the PC operating system to copy or move the song archive from
the
BACKUP directory of the DP-01 FAT partition to the PC.
You should not
rename the song
archive on the PC as this may “con-
fuse” the DP-01 when you come to
restore it.
Once the song archive is on the PC, you can “close” the DP-01.
The song archive on the PC can then be backed up to CD-R, etc. You
can restore it later to the same DP-01 or to a friend’s DP-01, allowing
you to complete the recording at another location, or perform the final
mix where there are better speakers available, etc.
Restoring a song
This is basically the reverse of the backup process, allowing you to
transfer a song archive from a PC to the DP-01.
1 Connect the DP-01 to the PC using the USB cable, and “open” the
drive (““Open” and “Close”” on page 45).
2 Use the PC operating system to copy the song archive from the PC to
the
BACKUP directory of the DP-01 FAT partition.
3 “Close” the DP-01.
4 Press MENU and select the BACKUP menu.
If there are no song
archive files on the
FAT partition, a message is shown.
5 Select the SONG RESTORE action and press the key. The display
shows the song archive files on the FAT partition
Although the DP-01
displays shorter file
names with spaces at the end of
the name, these spaces are not
part of the actual file name.
6 Select a song archive using the jog wheel and press ENTER. The cur-
rent song is saved.
7 The “real” song name is extracted from the archive and shown:
8 Press ENTER to load the archived song as the current song. Appropri-
ate messages are shown if there is not enough disk space, etc.
