24 RHYTHM DESIGNER RD-9 User Manual
Global Song Data Files
Each of the 16 songs stored in the RD-9’s Storage Memory has a Song Data le. When a song is loaded into the sequencer from Storage Memory, this is the le that is
loaded. The song loaded into the sequencer at any given time is called the Live Song. Changes the user makes to the Live Song Data le do not persist, the le must be
saved back to the Storage Memory before another Song Data le is loaded.
Song Arrangement
All of the data in a song arrangement is contained in its Song Data le. These data is shown below:
Parameter Name Description Values
Song Data Version From time to time, new versions of the RD-9 rmware will be released. This rmware
will contain both bug xes and new features. Additional parameters may be added to the
Song Data le to support those new features. The Song Data le is therefore versioned to
guarantee compatibility between rmware releases.

used to distinguish between RD-9 Song Data les and other song data les.
