File types
The following tables describe all the file and folder types the
Pa800 can manage. Here are the files you can read or write with
the Pa800.
Pa800 can also read (but not write) the following types of data.
Media structure
Each device (and the internal memory) can contain files and
folders. Data in the Pa800 is slightly more rigidly structured than
in a computer, due to the pre-configured type of data inside the
instrument’s memory. The diagram below shows the global
structure of a Pa800 device.
Note: Style banks from 1 to 17 (Factory Styles) can be seen in
Media mode only when the “Factory Style and Pad Protect”
parameter is set to Off (see page 257), and only when loading or
saving a single Style bank.
Extension File/folder type
SET All the User data. (This is a folder containing
other folders).

Backup” function of the Media > Utility page.
