About Protected Songs
If you buy or download Song data, it may be
protected so that you cannot delete or copy, in order
to prevent accidental erasure or protect copyright.
These are called Protected Songs. Protected Songs
can be saved to a USB flash drive confirmed by
Yamaha. A Protected Song can be played back in the
same way as Songs you’ve created, but it cannot be
converted to XG format or EL format. It is not
possible to edit the Registration data in the Protected
Song, nor can the performance data be overwritten. If
you want to edit a Protected Song, first copy it within
one USB flash drive/folder, then edit the copy. (You
cannot copy to another USB flash drive/folder.) The
copied Song (called “Protected Edit Song”) is
available only when the original Song (called
“Protected Original Song”) exists in the same folder.
Be careful not to delete the Protected Original Song.
NOTICE
When you want to edit a Protected Song, first initialize
the Registration Memory, then select the desired Song.
If you have not initialized the Registration first, the
edited Song may not be saved.
NOTICE
To move the Protected Song in a USB flash drive with a
computer, you’ll need to use the Musicsoft Downloader
application. If you move the Song without Musicsoft
Downloader, the Song cannot be played back. Musicsoft
Downloader can be obtained at the following Internet
