If you don’t want to lose any of the sounds in the User bank, you should back-up the entire bank to either an external SRAM or FlashRAM PCMCIA card, or (via MIDI System Exclusive) into a data storage device like the Alesis DataDisk or a MIDI sequencer. See Chapter 9 for more information on external storage operations.
