Loading the Demo data
In the default settings (when shipped from the factory),
several Demo Songs and Patterns are stored to the
instrument, starting at Song 01 and Pattern 01. However,
you may delete them by recording your original data or
loading a different Song/Pattern from an external USB
storage device. To restore the original Demo data, follow
the instructions below.
Loading the Demo data overwrites all the Songs or Patterns.
Before loading the Demo data, please check whether or not there
is important data in the Songs or Patterns. If there is important
data in the Songs or Patterns, save it to the external USB storage
device or a computer on the network before loading the Demo
data. For information about how to save, see page 278.
