Saving a pattern you create (Write)
Once the factory preset patterns are rewritten, it is not possible to restore them to
their original state. If you do not want to loose the factory preset patterns, purchase a
SmartMedia
TM card and save the data ( ☞ p.55) to create a backup.
With the factory settings, memory protect will be on, and it will not be possible to save
data. Before you save data, you must turn off the Memory Protect settings in Global
mode. (
☞ p.56 "Protect settings.")
Please be aware that when you save data, the pattern in the save destination will be
overwritten.
1. Edit a pattern as described in "Modifying the sound" or "Modifying (editing) a rhythm
pattern."
2. Press the WRITE key once (the key will blink). The display will blink to
indicate the pattern number.
3. Rotate the dial to select the pattern number in which the data will be
saved (i.e., the "save destination").
4. Press the WRITE key once again to begin saving the data. While the data
is being saved, the key will blink. When saving is complete, the key will
go dark.
If you decide to cancel, press the Stop/Cancel key. If you do not wish to save the pattern
you created, simply select a different pattern without performing the Write operation.
Never turn off the power while data is being saved to memory (i.e., while the WRITE
key is lit). Doing so may damage the data.
It is not possible to Write during playback or recording.
