Working with User Programs
About the User Program Memory Structure
The FR-4x lets you save your favorite sounds and settings, and recall
them instantly. The settings you save are called “user programs.”
This is convenient when you want to switch sounds instantly
during a live performance.
The FR-4x can save up to 98 user programs.
You can save 14 user programs in each of seven groups, and use
the right hand register buttons to recall these 14 user programs.
You can switch to a different group of 14 programs that can be
recalled by using the register buttons. On the FR-4x, these groups
are called “banks.”

All banks of the FR-4x contain user programs for you to enjoy
immediately.
You are free to overwrite these with your own settings.
Additionally, if you want to use more than 98 user programs, you
can save them on a commercially available USB flash drive, and
load that data back into the FR-4x for use.
