Advanced song management
Copying songs
The DP-01 disk is divided into “partitions” (see “Disk management” on
page 36). You can use different partitions for different purposes: old songs/new
songs, or instrumentals/vocal numbers, for example.
You can also use
the multiple selec-
tion procedure described in
“Erasing many songs at one time”
on page 19 to copy many songs at
once.
This function allows you to copy a song to another partition.
1 From the SONG menu, select the COPY action:
2 Highlight a song and press ENTER.
When the DP-01
leaves the factory,
the disk has three “native” parti-
tions.
3 Use the wheel to select the “target” partition that the song will be cop-
ied to. As you scroll through the partitions, you will see the available
free space figure change, so you will always know if there is enough
space for the song.
4 Press ENTER when you’ve selected the target partition.
You are asked if you want to copy the song (
Are you sure?).
Press
ENTER to copy the song, or EXIT to cancel the operation.
5 The DP-01 then provides you with a progress report as it carries out
the copying operation. When it is finished, you see the copy screen
again.
Deleting unused data
This operation
cannot be undone.
Only do it if you are sure you do
not want the unused parts.
Because a DP-01 song is not just the parts you hear, but you can edit the audio
(see “About track editing” on page 46), there may be other parts which have
been cut out or overwritten, and some wasted space.
You delete the unused data from the currently-loaded song.
1 From the SONG menu, select the DEL/UNUSED action:
2 Press ENTER to delete the unused data, or EXIT to cancel the
operation.
