Convenient Functions (UTILITY)
Overwrite-Saving Edited Data (Overwrite)
Separately from the conventional write operation (saving sound
data in the “WRITE” screen that appears when you press the
[WRITE] button), there is also an “OVERWRITE” function that
overwrite-saves to the currently selected bank and number.
In performance mode, this lets you save not only the performance
but also the patches of the upper part and lower part, making it
convenient when you want to save this data in a single operation.
1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the
[WRITE] button.
A conrmation message appears.
Overwrite?
[Exit]:N [Ent]:Y
2. To overwrite-save, press the [ENTER] button.
If you decide to cancel, press the [EXIT] button.
When saving is complete, the screen indicates “Completed!”
NOTE
In performance mode, the patches of the upper part and
lower part are also overwrite-saved.
