■Transferring Backup files from
the Instrument to a Computer
● ●
You can use the Musicsoft Downloader to transfer
Backup files containing backup data (page
39
),
including the five User Songs stored on the instru-
ment, to a computer. If you click “Electronic Musi-
cal Instruments” in the Musicsoft Downloader
display, and then “System Drive,” a file named
“PSR-S500.BUP” will appear in the lower right
corner of the Musicsoft Downloader display. This
is the backup file. For details about how to transfer
backup files using the Musicsoft Downloader
application, refer to the Online help in the applica-
tion.
• Preset Song data cannot be transmitted from the instrument.
NOTE
• The backup data, including the five User Songs’ is transmitted/
received as a single file. As a result, all backup data will be over-
written every time you transmit or receive. Keep this in mind when
transferring data.
CAUTION
• Do not rename the backup file on the computer. If you do so it will
not be recognized when transferred to the instrument.
CAUTION
● Using Songs with Notation
In order to use songs with notation (SMF format 0
only) transferred from a computer for lessons and
practice, you’ll need to specify which channels are
to be played back as the right-hand and left-hand
parts.
1 Press the [USER] button and select the song
residing in internal memory for which you want
to set the guide track.
2 Press the [FUNCTION] button.
3 Use the CATEGORY [ ] and [ ] buttons to
select the R-Part or L-Part item.
4 Use the dial 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.
