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.

Press

MENU

and select the

BACKUP

menu.

If there are no song
archive files on the

FAT partition, a message is shown.

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.

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:

ate messages are shown if there is not enough disk space, etc.
