You can use the Musicsoft Downloader to transfer
“Backup Files” containing backup data (page 56),
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
“06PK61.BUP” will appear in the lower right cor-
ner of the Musicsoft Downloader display. This is
the backup file. For details about how to transmit
backup file using the Musicsoft Downloader appli-
cation, refer to the Online help in the application.

• End the Musicsoft Downloader to playback the song transferred
from your computer.
NOTE
• Do not unplug the USB cable during a data transfer. Not only
will the data not be transferred and saved, but operation of the
memory media may become unstable and its contents may dis-
appear completely when the power is turned on or off.
CAUTION
• Store data can be lost due to equipment malfunction or
improper operation. For safety we recommend that you keep a
copy of all important data stored on your computer.
• We recommend that you use a power adaptor rather than bat-
teries when transferring data. The data can be corrupted if the
batteries fail during the transfer.
CAUTION
f r
• 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.
