About Memory

Memory provides storage locations where Live Sets and other settings are stored.
There are three types of memory: "temporary memory, " "rewritable memory, " and "non-
rewritable memory. "
Temporary Memory
Temporary area
The sound and controller settings you select using the panel tone buttons or LIVE SET buttons are
called into the temporary area.
When you play the keyboard, sounds are produced according to the settings that are in the temporary
area.
The settings in the temporary area will be lost when you turn off the power or call up other settings. If
you want to keep the data that's in the temporary area, you must store it into rewritable memory.
Rewritable Memory
System memory
System memory contains system parameter settings that specify how the RD-800 is to operate.
To store system parameters, save the system settings (p. 43).
User memory
Live Sets and songs can be stored in user memory (LIVE SET Write: p. 23).
You can also save all of the live sets in a single operation (LIVE SET File Save: p. 44).
USB flash drive
You can save all of the live sets in a single file (LIVE SET File Save: p. 44).
You can copy Live Set files between a USB flash drive and user memory (Live Set File Copy: p. 46).
The USB flash drive is also used as the storage location for audio recording.
Non-rewritable Memory
Preset memory
The demo songs and the tones are stored in preset memory; they cannot be rewritten.
