FR-8x is switched on. While editing, there is no absolute need
to save your settings. Be aware, however, that all changes are
lost when the FR-8x is switched o.
See “How to Save a Set” (p. 42) to save your changes. Also
be sure to read “Important remark about saving your settings”
(p. 70).

The Organ section and the Orchestra 1 section cannot be used
at the same time.
