If there is important data 
you’ve created that’s stored 
in memory, all such data is 
discarded, and everything 
is returned to the factory 
defaults when a Factory 
Reset is performed. If you 
have data that you want to 
keep, choose [Save SVD 
File...] from the File menu 
in XV Editor (included with 
the XV-2020). Alternatively, 
you could use an external 
MIDI device to send a 
message requesting all data 
(p. 143). 
You cannot carry out this 
procedure when “DEMO” 
is selected with the 
[CATEGORY/BANK] 
knob.
