Collecting your favorite voices to the User drive or floppy disk

The TYROS has a huge amount of high-quality voices, covering an exceptionally broad range of
instrument sounds — making it perfect for virtually every musical application. However, the
sheer number of voices may seem overwhelming at first. That's why we've decided to show you
this somewhat advanced technique for gathering together the voices you like to use the most, and
putting them in one easy-to-use location.
To start with, you should know a little about the Memory Drives and the Open/Save display
(explained briefly below). Should you want to know more, details are given on page 63. For the
moment, though, keep in mind that the User drive and Floppy Disk drive are memory locations
that you can use to store and recall your important data.
