Saving a pattern you create (Write)

Once the factory preset patterns are rewritten, it is not possible to restore them to their original state. If you do not want to loose the factory preset patterns, purchase a SmartMediaTM card and save the data (p.55) to create a backup.

With the factory settings, memory protect will be on, and it will not be possible to save data. Before you save data, you must turn off the Memory Protect settings in Global mode. (p.56 "Protect settings.")

Please be aware that when you save data, the pattern in the save destination will be overwritten.

1.Edit a pattern as described in "Modifying the sound" or "Modifying (editing) a rhythm pattern."

2.Press the WRITE key once (the key will blink). The display will blink to indicate the pattern number.

3.Rotate the dial to select the pattern number in which the data will be saved (i.e., the "save destination").

4.Press the WRITE key once again to begin saving the data. While the data is being saved, the key will blink. When saving is complete, the key will go dark.

If you decide to cancel, press the Stop/Cancel key. If you do not wish to save the pattern you created, simply select a different pattern without performing the Write operation.

Never turn off the power while data is being saved to memory (i.e., while the WRITE key is lit). Doing so may damage the data.

It is not possible to Write during playback or recording.
