● 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.
Transferring data from a computer
• The Musicsoft Downloader application may not
be able to access the instrument in the follow-
ing cases:
• During Style playback
• During Song playback
NOTE
• Use the power adaptor when transferring
data. The data can be corrupted if the bat-
teries 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.
CAUTION
• Close the window to exit from the Musicsoft
Downloader and re-enable control of the instru-
ment.
NOTE
Transferring a user file from the PSR-E303/YPT-300 to a computer
• 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 trans-
ferred to the instrument.
NOTE
• 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.
