5-4. Saving your song

On the D888, the song data that you have recorded or edited and the parameters
that you have set are automatically saved during the power-off operation when
you return the D888 to the standby mode. These settings are also saved when you
select a different song. This is called “auto-save”.
You can also save data manually (p.36 “1-4. Saving a song”).
