Saving a Song File in Storage
Memory [SaveToMemory]
If you record a song and then turn off the
power, the song will be erased. To save a
recorded song, you must save it into the P-250
storage memory. You can also save preset
songs, as well as additional or overwritten
recordings (page 49) to storage memory.
Refer to page 53 for information on the
basic operation of song files. The follow-
ing steps are supplement for Step 4 on
page 53.
Do not turn off the power to the P-250 while the screen dis-
plays "Executing." Otherwise, the data currently held in stor-
age memory may be lost.
