Here’s how to save backup data (all of the SP-404’s data including
sample banks and pattern banks) to a memory card. You can save up
to twelve sets of backup data.
If the card runs out of free space because you save large

that can be saved will be fewer.

information, create an “initialization memory card” and proceed with the
initialization.
