Backing up your projects requires putting the OP-XY into MTP mode and copying the project files to your computer. Mac users will need the Field-Kit app installed first.

Connect and enter MTP mode

  1. 1.Connect your OP-XY to your computer using the USB-C cable.
  2. 2.Press com to enter the com screen.
  3. 3.Press M4 to enter MTP mode. This option only appears when the device is connected to a computer.

Access and copy your projects

  1. 1.Your OP-XY will appear as a drive on your computer. Mac users may need to open it via the Field-Kit app in the taskbar.
  2. 2.Open the drive and you will see three folders: "presets", "projects" and "samples". Open the projects folder, then the "user" folder inside it.
  3. 3.You will see a list of all your projects plus a "backups" folder. The backups folder holds all history files for your projects.
  4. 4.To back up a single project, copy both the project file and its corresponding backup folder.
  5. 5.To back up everything, select the entire projects folder and copy it somewhere safe on your computer.

Finishing up

  1. 1.When done, press M4 to eject the OP-XY, then unplug the USB-C cable.

Note that you can also rename projects directly from your computer, but only use alphanumeric characters plus these special characters: -, # and space.
