Saving Data

Saving your edited settings

If you have edited a program, your edited settings will be lost if you turn the power off or select another program before saving (writing). If you want to use the edited program later, you must save (write) it. Changes you make to the GLOBAL, MIDI, or SHIFT functions (described later in this manual) will also be lost if you turn off the power before saving (writing). If you want to reuse the modified settings, you must save them.

Never turn off the power while data is being written. Doing so may destroy the data.
