For details about how to transmit Song data using the Musicsoft Downloader application, refer to the Online help topic "Transferring Data Between the Computer and Instrument (for unprotected data)" of the Musicsoft Downloader. ● Data that can be loaded to the PSR-E303/YPT- 300 from a computer • Songs : 99 Songs max (Song numbers 108-) • Data : 373 kilobytes • Data Format : SMF Format 0 • File : 05PK.USR (user file) ***.MID (MIDI Song) NOTE • The Musicsoft Downloader application may not be able to access the instrument in the following cases: • During Style playback • During Song playback CAUTION • Use the power adaptor when transferring data. The data can be corrupted if the batteries fail during the transfer. • Never turn the power off and never plug/ unplug the AC power adaptor during data transmission. Not only will the data fail to be transferred and saved, but operation of the flash memory may become unstable and its contents may disappear completely when the power is turned on or off. NOTE • Close the window to exit from the Musicsoft Downloader and re-enable control of the instrument. Transferring a user file from the PSR-E303/YPT-300 to a computer You can transfer backup data (page 29), including the five User Songs stored to the instrument, to a computer as a "user file" by using Musicsoft Downloader. For details about how to transmit Song data using the Musicsoft Downloader application, refer to the Online help topic "Transferring Data Between the Computer and Instrument (for unprotected data)" in the application. ● Data that can be transferred to a computer from the PSR-E303/YPT-300 • User file (05PK.USR: backup data containing five User Songs) • Songs transferred from a computer NOTE • Preset Song data cannot be transmitted from the PSR-E303/YPT-300. • Do not rename the user file on the computer. If you do so, it will not be recognized when transferred to the instrument. CAUTION • The backup data, including the five User Songs is transmitted/received as a single file. As a result, all backup data (including the five Songs) will be overwritten every time you transmit or receive. Keep this in mind when transferring data. ● Erasing Transferred Song Data from the PSR-E303/YPT-300 Memory To erase all Songs transferred from the computer, use "flash clear" function on page 29. To erase specific Songs transferred from the computer, use the Delete function on Musicsoft Downloader. ● Using Transferred Songs for Lessons In order to use Songs (only SMF format 0) transferred from a computer for lessons it is necessary to specify which channels are to be played back as the right-hand and left-hand parts. Refer to the "Lesson Track (R)" or "Lesson Track (L)" in the Function Setting List on page 57. The procedure for setting the "guide track" is as follows: Select a transferred Song you want to use for lessons. Press the [FUNCTION] button a number of times until the "R-Part" or "L-Part" appears in the display, and then use the number buttons [0]-[9], [+], [-] 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. PSR-E303/YPT-300 Owner's Manual 63
