Making a safety copy of your data
In case you like to customize your musical resources, we suggest you use the
Media > Utility > Full Resources Backup command to make frequent backup
copies into compact and easy-to-store archives.
Also, you can use the Media > Save All command to save individual files that
you can separately reload one by one.
Restoring a safety copy
To restore a backup, use the Media > Utility > Resources Restore command.
If you saved your data with the Media > Save All command, use the Media >
Load operations to reload them.
Restoring the original factory data
In case you want to restore the original factory data, use the Media > Utility
> Factory Restore command.
Warning: This operation will overwrite all the Factory, Local, Favorite and User data!
Loading the Operating System
Your HAVIAN 30 can be constantly updated as new versions of the operating
system are released by KORG. You can download the most up-to-date oper-
ating system from our web site. Please, read the instructions supplied with
the operating system on the site.
You can see which version of the operating systems is installed in your
HAVIAN 30 by going to the Media > Utility page.
Warning: Do not install an OS other than the official OS supplied by KORG for the
HAVIAN 30. Trying to install an OS created for different models or downloaded from
unofficial web sites may cause data loss and permanent damage to the instrument.
KORG is not responsible for any damage caused by improper installation of the OS.
