ENGLISH Data Backup Using a Computer Data Backup Using a Computer For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you save your important data to your computer by using the Musicsoft Downloader (MSD) software. This provides a convenient backup if the internal memory is damaged. Data that can be saved ● Panel settings and recorded User songs Panel settings are the same data that can be backed up using the Backup Functions (page 46). You can save the panel settings and recorded User songs as one file. ● External songs received via computer. 1. Install the USB MIDI driver and MSD to your com- puter (Windows), then connect the computer and the instrument. For connection, see page 49. 2. Save the data to the computer. Using MSD, save the "P-140.BUP" file from "System Drive" under "Electronic Musical Instruments" to the computer. The "P-140.BUP" file contains the panel settings and recorded User songs. Also, if you store the external songs in the instrument from the computer, save the songs from "Flash Memory" under "Electronic Musical Instruments" to the computer via the MSD. For instructions on using MSD, see the Help in the MSD. To recall the settings and load songs to the instrument, save the "P-140.BUP" file and the External songs under the folders to which you saved the files. NOTE You can download the USB MIDI interface driver and Musicsoft Downloader (MSD). Please check the following URL for the latest version. http://music.yamaha.com/ download/msd NOTE When MSD is started on a computer connected to the instrument, "con (computer connection)" appears in the display. When this indication appears, you cannot operate the instrument. NOTE The Musicsoft Downloader cannot be used when the instrument is in the following state: • During Demo playback. • During song playback. • During Record mode. NOTE The panel settings and User songs (P-140.BUP file) remain in the instrument after being saved to the computer. 50 P-140 Owner's Manual
