Chapter 6. Using a Memory Card
Saving Backup Data
(Backup Save)
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
amounts of sample or pattern data, the number of backup sets
that can be saved will be fewer.
1.
Hold down [CANCEL] and press one of the BANK [C/G]–[F/
J] buttons.
"SAV" appears in the display and pads for which backup data
has not been saved begin blinking.
2.
Select a backup-destination pad.
The selected pad lights, and the other pads stop blinking. [REC]
begins blinking.
You can't select a pad that was dark in step 1 (i.e., a pad for
which data has already been saved).
If you decide to cancel the operation at this point, press
[CANCEL].
3.
Press [REC].
[REC] lights, and the Backup Save operation begins. The dot in
the display will blink while the operation is in progress. When
saving is complete, the blinking will stop.

may damage the backup data or the memory card.
Loading Backup Data
(Backup Load)
Here's how to load backup data (all of the SP-404's data including

data you loaded.

in the display, and you will be unable to execute the Backup
Load operation.
2.
Press a pad to select the backup data that you want to load.
The selected pad lights, and the other pads stop blinking. [REC]
