By backing up the data on this unit, you can transfer your data to another SP-404MK2 or restore your data in the event that something happens to it.

You can save up to 64 sets of backup data to a single SD card (note that this depends on the SD card’s capacity).

  1. Insert the SD card on which the backup data is to be saved into the SD card slot of this unit.
  2. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the pad [13].

    The UTILITY MENU screen appears.

  3. Use the [VALUE] knob to select “BACKUP”, and press the [VALUE] knob.

    The UTILITY / BACKUP RESTORE screen appears.

  4. Use the [VALUE] knob to select “BACKUP”, and press the [VALUE] knob.

    The backup number selection screen appears.

  5. Use the [VALUE] knob to select a backup number (01–64), and press the [VALUE] knob.

    The backup data is saved to the SD card.


If there is already backup data on the SD card with the same number, a message appears that confirms whether you want to overwrite.

To import and overwrite, turn the [VALUE] knob to select “OK”, and press the [VALUE] knob.

When this operation is executed, the backup data on the SD card that has the same number is overwritten (erased).
