Storing and Reading Data

This section explains how to save the entire main memory contents or the waveform data for a pad to the backup memory and how to load this data back into the main memory.

Storing/Reading Bulk Data (Backup Memory)

STEP 1

To save bulk data, press the [SAVE] key.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BACKUP

SAVE INTERNAL/DATA CARD

 

 

 

 

STEP 2

Use the [INTERNAL/DATA CARD] key to set the save target to "Int" (internal backup

memory).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BACKUP

STEP 3

Press the [SAVE] key again.

 

 

 

 

 

Bulk data (all waveform data, pad parameter settings, song data for

 

BACKUP

 

 

internal sequencer) are saved to the backup memory. The ST-224

then returns to the regular play mode. When wishing to cancel the

 

 

 

 

store process, press the [EXIT] key instead of the [SAVE] key.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

•

The backup memory can hold only one set of bulk data.

 

 

CAUTION

 

 

NOTE

The previous set will be overwritten.

 

Never turn power to the unit off while

data are being saved. Otherwise the

 

 

 

(including the [SOURCE] pad).

 

data may be destroyed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STEP 4

To load data from backup memory into the main memory, press the [LOAD] key while the

unit is in play mode.

STEP 5

Use the [INTERNAL/DATA CARD] key to set the load target to "Int" (internal).

STEP 6

Press the [LOAD] key again.

 

 

 

 

 

Bulk data are copied from the backup memory into the main memory.

The ST-224 then returns to the regular play mode. When wishing to

 

 

 

 

cancel the load process, press the [EXIT] key instead of the [LOAD] key.

 

 

 

 

When the unit is turned on, the last bulk data saved in backup

 

 

 

 

 

HINT memory are copied back to the main memory.
