You can back up the following data to a USB key for safekeeping:
- User Tones/User Drum Kits (including samples and multisamples)
- User Program
- User Style, Song, and Phrase data saved in internal storage
- Favorite, My Setup
- Various settings (Global, Mastering Tools, MIDI, Scale Memory)
Note: User Program, User Style, and Phrase data that is saved in external storage (USB flash drive) is not backed up. However, reference data (for example, that indicates which user styles or phrase data on the USB flash drive is used by a specific user program) is saved. Reference data is lost if you change the Style name or if you change the folder. In order to completely reproduce the original state, we recommend that you also keep a copy of the user data on the USB flash drive together with the backup data.
Here are the steps to back up your data:
- Connect a USB flash drive to the USB MEMORY port on the back of the E-A7.
- Press MENU.
- Press the button under the right screen below "P2" to select page 2 of the menu options screen.
- Press the button next to “Utility.”
- Press the button next to "Backup."
- Press the button under the screen below "YES" to confirm the operation.
- The backup will begin, and "Executing" will be displayed on the screen. When completed, the main screen will be displayed.
