Saving your settings
After you modify settings or record a performance, you must
perform the Save procedure if you wish to keep the results. If
you turn off the power without doing this, your settings or
the recorded contents will be lost.
For details on saving, refer to the following pages.
• Patch ➔ Saving a patch (p. 18)
• Pattern ➔ Saving a pattern (p. 20)
• Song ➔ Saving a song (p. 72)
• Arpeggio style ➔ Step 4 of “Making detailed settings“ in
Playing arpeggios (ASSIGN 1: ARPEGGIATOR 1) (p.

It will take several seconds for the data to be saved. Do not
turn off the power until the Save operation has been
completed. Doing so may cause malfunctions.

not need to perform the Save operation.
