Limitations on the P-250 when using the File Utility
The TOOLS for P-250 CD-ROM contains a File Utility program.
By using this software, you can transfer files between the internal memory of the P-250 and your computer, and edit them.
There are some operating states of the P-250 in which it is not possible to use the File Utility or in which some File Utility functions are not available.
You cannot use File Utility to perform file operations in the following states.
•Demo song mode
•Song recording/playback mode
•During file operations
•During the various [SONG FILE] operations
•During the various [PERFORM.FILE] operations
•During MIDI bulk data transmission and reception
•While MIDI transmission is stopped
The following operations cannot be performed while File Utility is running.
•File operations
•Song loading
•Song playback
•Track button on/off
The following operations cannot be performed on the P-250.
•Changing the filename extension of a file
•Japanese display in the LCD screen
•Creating a folder
•Copying a folder from the computer to the storage memory
•Transmitting a protected song to the computer
•Transmitting path information to a device
nWhen transferring a file between the P-250 and your computer, you must set the type of characters on your P-250 ([CharacterCode]) to match the language of the operating system for the computer in which you installed File Utility.
If the character code of the P-250 does not match the language of the computer that is running File Utility, the file may not be handled correctly.
nOn the P-250, the File Utility ID is fixed at “1”. If you specify an ID other than “1,” you will be unable to transmit or receive data. For details on the File Utility ID, refer to the File Utility PDF manual.

*1 Unfortunately, Yamaha makes no guarantee concerning the stability of this program nor can it offer user support for it. *2 The applications are supplied with online/PDF manuals.
*You can start the File Utility as either a stand-alone software or a plug-in application in the Open Plug-in Technology compatible application. See next page for details about Open Plug-in Technology.
4 TOOLS for P-250 Installation Guide
You can start the File Utility software as either a stand-alone software or a plug-in application in the Open Plug-in Technology compatible application.
Refer to the owner's manual of the client application (sequencer, etc.) for details on using the File Utility as a plug-in software.
About Open Plug-in Technology
Open Plug-in Technology (OPT) is a newly developed software format that allows control over MIDI devices from a music software sequencer. For example, this allows you to start up and operate various parts of your music system, such as plug-in board editors, and mixing control editors - directly from an OPT-compatible sequencer, without having to use each separately. This also makes it unnecessary to set MIDI drivers for each application, streamlining your music production system and making all operations more convenient and seamless.
About the OPT Levels
The client application and its compatibility with OPT can be divided into three levels, as shown below.
Level 1 – OPT Panels provides basic support for opening and displaying OPT control panels that can transmit data via the clients’ external MIDI ports.
Typically this will allow basic hardware editor control panels to operate properly.
Level 2 – OPT Processors provides support for real-time MIDI processors and panel automation.
Typically this will allow both real-time and offline MIDI effects (e.g. Arpeggiators, transposers etc.) to operate properly and supply automation to OPT panels.
Level 3 – OPT Views provides support for edit views and MIDI processors/panels that require direct access to client sequencer storage structures. Typically this will allow sophisticated MIDI edit views to be supported (e.g. List editors, Auto Accompaniment, Data Checkers etc.).
OPT Level Implementation for the File Utility
This chart shows the OPT-compatibility of the File Utility.
