Data Backup
For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you save your important data to your com-
puter by using the included application Musicsoft Downloader (MSD). This provides a convenient
backup if the internal memory is damaged.
Data that can be saved
1. Panel settings and recorded User songs
Panel settings are the same data that can be backed up using the Backup Functions
(page 55). You can save the panel settings and recorded User songs as one file.
2. External songs received via computer.
1.
Install the USB MIDI driver and the MSD from the
included Accessory CD-ROM to your computer
(Windows), then connect the computer and the
instrument.
For installation, see the separate Installation Guide.
For connection, see page 56.
2.
Move the data to the computer.
By using the MSD, save the “CLP-xxx.BUP” file from “System Drive” under
“Electronic Musical Instruments” to the computer.
The “CLP-xxx.BUP” file contains the panel settings and recorded User songs.
Also, if you store the external songs in the instrument from the computer, move
the songs from “Flash Memory” under “Electronic Musical Instruments” to the
computer via the MSD.
For instruction on using the MSD, see the Help in the MSD.
To recall the settings and load the songs to the instrument, move the “CLP-
xxx.BUP” file and the External songs under the folders to which you saved the
files.
NOTE
The file described in #1 at left
cannot be saved to a USB stor-
age device (CLP-240).
Procedure
NOTE
When MSD is started on a com-
puter connected to the instru-
ment, “con (computer
connection)” appears in the dis-
play. When this indication
appears, you cannot operate the
instrument.
NOTE
The Musicsoft Downloader can-
not be used when the instrument
is in the following state:
• During Demo mode.
• During song playback.
• During Record mode.
• During file operation (one of the
[FILE] button indicators is lit).
NOTE
The panel settings and User
songs (CLP-xxx.BUP file) remain
in the instrument after being
saved to the computer.
