The QY Data Filer is a file manager that allows you take data created by the QY70 and save it in your computer. Before you can use the QY Data Filer, you must install the software, and connect the QY70 to your computer (refer to the “Owner’s Manual” on page 16).

The QY Data Filer can perform the following three functions depending upon how you use it:

1. Data created by the QY70 can be saved to your computer as QY bulk data. Also, QY bulk data saved in your computer can be transmitted to the QY70.

2. SMF song data files such as XG or GM song data can be transmitted from the computer to your QY70 to be played back on the QY70. Also, data created by the QY70 can be saved to your computer as an SMF song.

3. Song/Style data in the QY70 can be cleared via the computer.
