Creating a Patch
Saving Patches You’ve Created
(Write)
Changes you make to sound settings are temporary, and will be lost
if you turn off the power or select another sound. If you want to keep
the modified sound, you must save it in the internal USER group
(user memory)
When you edit the patch settings, an “*” will appear in the Patch
Play screen.
When you perform the save procedure, the data that previously
occupied the save destination will be lost.
1. Make sure that the patch you wish to save is selected.
2. Press [WRITE].
The Write Menu screen appears.

Auditioning the Save-Destination
Patch (Compare)
Before you save a patch, you can audition the patch which currently
occupies the save destination to make sure that it is one you don’t
mind overwriting. This can help prevent important patches from
being accidentally overwritten and lost.
1. Follow the procedure in “Saving Patches You’ve Created
(Write)” through step 6 to select the save destination.
2. Press [6 (Compare)] to add a check mark ( ✔)
fig.03-10.e
3. Play the keyboard or pad to sound the save destination
patch, then check whether you really want to overwrite it.
The patch auditioned using the Compare function may sound
slightly different than when it is played normally.
4. If you wish to change the save destination, re-specify the
save-destination patch by using or .
5. Press [8 (Write)].
A message will ask you for confirmation.
