CP4 STAGE/CP40 STAGE Reference Manual
Design of the CP4 STAGE & CP40 STAGE
File functions
A total of six different functions can be executed from the File area — Save, Load, Rename, Delete,
Format, and Memory Info.
NOTE
The functions from the File area can be used only with
All
-type files, which have a .C7A (CP4 STAGE) or
.C8A (CP40 STAGE) file extension. They cannot be used to process audio files, which have a .wav file
extension.
01: Save
The Save function is used to store all data from the instrument’s User Memory in the form of an
All
-
type file. This file must be saved to the USB flash-memory device’s root directory, and it will be
given a .C7A (CP4 STAGE) or .C8A (CP40 STAGE) file extension.
NOTE
Before carrying out the steps described below, ensure that the USB flash-memory device is plugged
into the instrument’s [TO DEVICE] USB terminal. If this is not the case, the instrument will display the
message “USB device not ready” instead of the Save screen.
NOTE
The File menu is the first screen displayed when the [FILE] button is pressed.
NOTE
Before executing File functions, the instrument will display the Confirmation popup to confirm that you
wish to proceed (“Are you sure?”). You can press the [+1/YES] button to execute the File function or the
[-1/NO] button to return to the previous screen without doing so.

This parameter is used to enter a name (between the square brackets) for the file to be saved to the
USB flash-memory device. Move the flashing cursor within the name field using the [
l

buttons, and change the character at each position using the [-1/NO] and [+1/YES] buttons or the
Data Dial. Files can be named using alphanumeric characters and symbols, and they can be up to
eight characters long.

This message is displayed before executing the Save function. Press the [+1/YES] button to save

NOTE
If a file with the same name as the one entered on the Save screen already exists on the USB flash-
memory device, the instrument will display the message “Overwrite?” to confirm whether that file should
be overwritten.
