Data Backup Using a Computer

For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you save your important data to your com-

puter 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.

You can download the USB MIDI

interface driver and Musicsoft

Downloader (MSD). Please check

the following URL for the latest

version.

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.

The Musicsoft Downloader can-

not be used when the instrument

is in the following state:

• During Demo playback.

• During song playback.

• During Record mode.

The panel settings and User

songs (P-140.BUP ﬁle) remain in

the instrument after being saved

to the computer.
