7-1. PRELOAD ()

Restoring the factory settings

This operation restores the microKORG's programs and global data settings to the factory-set condition. The factory-set settings are referred to as the "preload data."

When you restore the Preload settings, the data within the microKORG will be rewritten to the factory settings. Be sure that you don’t mind losing your current data before you restore the factory settings.

Do not touch the microKORG's knobs or keyboard while the Preload operation is being executed, and never turn the power off.

Preload cannot be executed if the SHIFT function "WRITE PROTECT is on. You must turn "WRITE PROTECT" off beforehand.
