The rear panel of the JX-305 has a memory card slot
that allows you to use memory cards (SmartMedia :
optional). Memory cards can be used in the following
ways.
1) In addition to the User groups in internal memory,
you will be able to use Card groups to store user
patches and user patterns.
Patches: C:A11–C:H88 (p. 18)
Rhythm Sets: C:A11–C:A34 (p. 28)
Patterns: C:A11–C:D18 (p. 30)
Patches and patterns that are stored in a card group
can be used in the same way as patches and pat-
terns from the user group.
2) All settings of the JX-305 including System settings
can be saved (backed up) to a card, and restored
into internal memory (Backup Load) when desired.
* Except while performing the Card Duplicate operation (p.
161), be sure to turn off the power before inserting or
removing a card.
* If a write protect sticker is affixed to the write protect area
of the memory card, it will no longer be possible to record
or erase the data of that card. When saving/initializing a
pattern or patch, be sure that the write protect sticker does
not remain on the card. For details on the write protect
sticker, refer to the owner’s manual for your memory
card.
If you attempt to carry out an operation such as saving to
the card group with a write protect sticker affixed, the fol-
lowing message will appear.

Cautions When Using a
Memory Card
Memory Cards the JX-305 Can Use
The JX-305 can use the following memory cards (sold
separately). Memory cards other than those specified
should not be inserted into the memory card slot.
S2M-5 (2 MB type)
S4M-5 (4 MB type)
2 MB and 4 MB cards differ in the maximum number
of patterns that they can store.
2 MB : Maximum 220,000 notes
(100,000 notes if there is a backup file)
4 MB : Maximum 480,000 notes
(360,000 notes if there is a backup file)
Inserting and Removing a Card
Except when performing the Card Duplicate opera-
tion, be sure that the power is turned off when you
insert or remove a card.
1. With the power turned off, insert the mem-
ory card into the rear panel memory card
slot as shown in the diagram. Push the
card firmly all the way into the slot.

Before Using a New Card
(Format)
Before a newly purchased memory card can be used
by the JX-305, you must use the “Format” operation to
prepare it for use with the JX-305. When a memory
card is formatted, all data that was on the card will be
erased. This means that you can also use the Format
operation to erase a card that has already been used on
the JX-305.
* Even if the memory card was already formatted when you
purchased it, it must be re-formatted on the JX-305.
