Comparing with the Save Destination Patch (Compare Function)

Before you save a Patch, you can audition the Patch which currently occupies the save destination to make sure that it is one you don’t mind overwriting. This can help prevent important Patches from being accidentally overwritten and lost.

When saving the Rhythm Set, you can use the Compare function in the same way.

1.Follow the procedure “Saving to Internal Memory” up to step 4 to select the save destination.
