Writing Programs and Combinations
EditstoProgramsandCombinationscanbesavedto
theinternalmemory,whichwe’llrefertoas“Writing.”
Ifyouwanteditstobepreservedafterthepoweris
turnedoff,youmustwritethem.
TherearetwowaystowriteProgramsand
Combinations,asdescribedbelow:usingtheWrite
menucommands,andus

afterusinganyoftheWritecommands.Thisallows
thesystemtimetocompletetheprocess,which
includessavingabackupofthedatatotheinternal
disk.
Beforeyouwritedataintomemory,yo

CombinationsrelyonProgramstomakesounds,
buttheydon’tcontaintheactualProgram
parameters.Instead,theysimplyrememberthe
Programbanksandnumbers.IfyoueditaProgram

Using the Write commands
1. AnywhereinProgramorCombinationmodes,
selectthepagemenucommand“WriteProgram”
or“WriteCombination.”
TheWriteProgramorWriteCombinationdialogbox
willappear.
Note:Youcanalsoreachthesamedialogboxby
holdingdowntheENTERbuttonandpressing0onthe

2. Checktheprogram/combinationnamedisplayed
intheupperline(thewritingsource).
3. Ifyouwishtochangethenameoftheprogram/
combination,pressthetexteditbutton.

4. In“Category,”specifythecategoryoftheProgram/
Combination.
5. SelectaSubCategoryaswell.
BothCombinationsandProgramscanbeselectedby

Using the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE button
InProgramandCombinationmodes,pressingthe
SEQUENCERREC/WRITEbuttonopenstheUpdate
