Chapter 3 Saving the Tones You Have Created

Write

When you want to save a tone created, or a tone for which changes have been made, use the Write procedure to save the tone to a User patch.

*The newly created tone will be discarded if the power is turned off, or if the tone is switched (“How to Switch Patches’; p. 14) before you’ve carried out the Write procedure.
