Disk Operations Song Copy This operation allows you to make backup copies of your important data. Primarily, this will come in handy when you are recording and editing song data. For example, if you are quantizing the track of a song (page 100) - which makes permanent changes to the track - making a backup copy of the song allows you to restore the original song data in case you're not satisfied with the results of the quantization. Having a dedicated backup disk for every song you work on is a good idea. In this way, you can save a new copy of the song each time you make an important edit to it. Copying song data from one floppy disk to another Prepare a backup disk by formatting it. One file can be copied at a time. As shown in the illustration below, first copy the desired file on the disk to internal memory, then copy it to the destination disk.
