Using the USB connection
42 TASCAM DP-01 Owner’s Manual
Advanced techniques
If you do not have
enough space on
the FAT partition to back up a
song, you must connect the DP-01
to a PC and manage the files from
the PC.
4 You can now use the left and right cursor keys and the wheel to name
the song archive (up to 7 characters):
5 Press ENTER to back up the song to the FAT partition. An error mes-
sage appears if there is not enough space.
The song is then copied as an archive from the current partition to the
FAT partition (with a
.001 extension). Messages appear on the screen as
the DP-01 goes through the file archiving process.
6 Connect the DP-01 to the computer using the USB cable, and “open”
the drive (““Open” and “Close”” on page 41).
7 Use the PC operating system to copy or move the song archive from
the
BACKUP directory of the DP-01 FAT partition to the PC.
You should not
rename the song
archive on the PC as this may
“confuse” the DP-01 when you
come to restore it.
… Once the song archive is on the PC, you can “close” the DP-01.
… The song archive on the PC can then be backed up to CD-R, etc. You
can restore it later to the same DP-01 or to a friend’s DP-01, allowing
you to complete the recording at another location, or perform the final
mix where there are better speakers available, etc.
Restoring a song
This is basically the reverse of the backup process, allowing you to transfer a
song archive from a PC to the DP-01.
1 Connect the DP-01 to the PC using the USB cable, and “open” the
drive (““Open” and “Close”” on page 41).
2 Use the PC operating system to copy the song archive from the PC to
the
BACKUP directory of the DP-01 FAT partition.
3 “Close” the DP-01.
4 Press MENU and select the BACKUP menu.
If there are no
song archive files
on the FAT partition, a message is
shown.
5 Select the SONG RESTORE action and press the y key. The display
shows the song archive files on the FAT partition
Although the DP-
01 displays shorter
filenames with spaces at the end
of the name, these spaces are not
part of the actual filename.
6 Select a song archive using the wheel and press ENTER. The current
song is saved.
7 The “real” song name is extracted from the archive and shown:
8 Press ENTER to load the archived song as the current song. Suitable
messages are shown if there is not enough disk space, etc.
