After pressing Backup, a dialog box will appear, asking you
to select a name for the backup file, and whether compres-
sion must be turned on or off during the backup.
Press the (Text Edit) button to open the Text Edit win-
dow. Enter the name, and confirm by pressing OK.
We suggest you check Compression, to save space on the
backup device. However, with compression turned on, the
operation will last longer.
5. Press OK to start the backup.

Preferences

This page includes various protect options.
Global Protect
When loading a ".SET" file (see "Loading all the User data" on
page 215), this parameter (if On) prevents Global parameters
from being reprogrammed when loading all data. All Global
parameters are therefore left unchanged.
When loading a single ".GLB" file, this parameter is ignored, and
the Global is overwritten by the loaded data.
Note: This parameter is saved to memory, but not to a target
device.
Factory Style and Pad Protect
When On, this parameter protects the Factory Styles (from the
"8/16 BEAT" to the "WORLD 2" bank) and Factory Pads
(named "Hit" and "Sequence" in the Pad Select window) from
being overwritten when loading data from a device. Further-
more, you can't access these banks when saving data.
When Off, you can load or save User Styles or Pads even into the
Factory Style banks (from "8/16 BEAT" to "WORLD 2") and
Factory Pad banks (named "Hit" and "Sequence" in the Pad
Select window). This way, you customize personalize your Fac-
tory Style and Pad banks.
Please note that the Save All procedure always saves only the
USER Style banks.
Note: This parameter is automatically set to On when turning the
instrument off.
Note: Should your accidentally delete some Factory Data, reload
the Backup data, or download the data from www.korgpa.com.
Factory Sound Protect
When On, this parameter prevents writing edited Sounds from
the Edit Sound mode. When Off, you can freely save edited
Sounds either in the Factory or User Sound area.
Note: This parameter is automatically set to On when turning the
instrument off.
Note: If your accidentally delete some Factory Data, reload the
Backup data, or download
www.korgpa.com.
