Storing a Program or Setup

S toring a Program
Once you have made an edit to a Program that you would like to keep,
press the [store] button to enter Store mode. You will see a screen that
looks like this:
S toring a Setup
If you have made changes to a Setup and are ready to save it, press the
[store setup] button to enter Store Setup mode. The screen you see will
be nearly identical to that pictured above.
C hoosing the destination for the new Program or Setup
Once you are in Store mode, if you don't want to keep the Program you
started with, you can simply press the same [store] button a second time
to store the edited Program back to its original location. However, if you
want to save the original Program you will need to choose a different
location.
Soft button 1 calls up the screen in which you choose a new location for
the edited Program. Use the [select] buttons and/or the data knob to
choose the destination number. Once you are sure that you will not be
overwriting a Program you would prefer to keep, press the same [store]
button a second time. The Ion will store your edited Program to the
location you have selected.

The procedures for storing Programs and
Setups are nearly identical. Wherever they
differ we will point that out. However, as we
document the features and methods, the term
"Program" will stand for both Programs
and Setups unless otherwise specified.
There are two pages in Program Store
mode. Page 1 deals with storing the
Program internally; Page 2 deals with
storing it externally, or sending it over MIDI
in system exclusive (sys-ex) format. We will
address sys-ex functionality on pages 29-32
and in chapter 8 "MIDI."
Program Store mode only: You can use the
[bank] buttons to select a destination
location as well, but you will not be able to
store the program to any bank besides the
[user] bank unless you turn off the Program
Write Protect parameter in Global Edit
mode, Page 6, Soft button 3.
Note: The [select] buttons cannot be used for
choosing a destination location when storing
a Setup.
