Writing to internal memory
Memory protect
To prevent programs, combinations, songs and user
drum kits from being overwritten accidentally, the this
instrument provides a Memory Protect setting that pro-
hibits writing to memory.
Before you save edited data or load data from floppy
disk, use the following procedure to turn off memory
protect (uncheck the appropriate check box).
Memory protect must also be turned off before the
above-listed data or a song in Sequencer mode can be
loaded from floppy disk or via MIDI data dump, and
before recording.
1 Press the [GLOBAL] key to enter Global mode
(LED lit), and press the [EXIT] key to select 1.1:
System.
2 Press the [F2] (“Pref.”) key to access the 1.1: Sys-
tem, Preferences page.
3 Uncheck the appropriate “Memory Protect” check
box for the data that you wish to write into internal
memory.
Writing a program or combination
The programs or combinations that you create by using
the Performance Editor or by editing parameters in the
various edit (Ed) pages can be saved in the internal
memory of the this instrument. This action is referred
to as “writing a program” or “writing a combination.”
If you want your edited data to be preserved after the
power is turned off, you must write it.
There are two ways to write a program or combination.
Before you write data into memory, you must turn
off the memory protect setting in Global mode.
