Chapters 5 through 8 explore the details of editing existing Programs and Mixes, and
provide all the information for creating completely new ones. When a Program or
Mix has been edited or a new one is created, you’ll need to save your work. This is
where
STORE mode comes in.
STORE mode allows you to save into the current Program or Mix number (also
referred to as a memory location), or copy it to another memory location in the User or
Card bank. Note that you cannot store to a memory location in any Preset bank.

2. To store the current edited version of a Program or Mix to the same memory
location, press STORE again. This will overwrite the old version of the
Program or Mix that is currently in this (User or Card) memory location.
3. To store an edited Program or Mix to a different memory location, use soft
knob 1 (or the BANK buttons) to change Banks and use soft knob 2 (or the
PROGRAM GROUP and PROGRAM NUMBER buttons) to change the Program or
Mix number. The press STORE again. This will overwrite the Program or Mix
that is currently in this User or Card memory location.
To abort the store, press either the PROGRAM or the MIX button.
If you want to re-arrange the order of Programs and Mixes, you can use this
procedure to copy Programs and Mixes that you just want to move around – they
don’t have to be edited to be copied. On the other hand, the
STORE function has a DIR
page and a COPY page that are designed to make these operations easier as described
below.
