* If you want to make a backup, save the data (patterns, kits, system
settings) before you proceed. The backup will not include the pattern or
kit that you’re currently editing (shown by an “*” indication) or system
settings that you have not saved.
About saving the pattern and kit
Parameters of the pattern or kit that you’re editing are remembered until you turn off the power. Even if you select a different pattern or kit,
and then re-select the one you had been editing, it is recalled in the edited state; however, if you turn the power off and on again, it returns
to the unedited state. If you want to keep the edits that you made to a pattern or kit, you must save that pattern or kit.
Saving the pattern and kit simultaneously (OVERWRITE)
By holding down the [SHIFT] button and pressing the [WRITE] button, you can overwrite-save the selected pattern and kit.
For details on how to save other settings, refer to “Saving the Pattern, Kit, or System Settings (WRITE)” (p. 17, p. 29).
