About Memory - Roland JP-8080 Owner's Manual

Performance
Upper Part
Lower Part
On the JP-8080, the Patch numbers that are stored as part of each Performance do not simply refer to
Patches that are kept separately in memory — the actual settings of the entire Patch can be stored in the
Performance itself. This means that when you save a Performance, you don't need to perform a separate
Save operation to save the Patch settings that are used by that Performance. It also means that if you
rewrite the settings of the Patch used by a Performance, other Performances that use that Patch will not be
affected.
Patches which are saved as part of a Performance are managed separately from Patches which are stored
individually. Each individual Patch has its own Patch number, by which it is identified. However Patches
which are saved as part of a Performance have no Patch numbers, and are identified as "the Upper (or
Lower) Patch of the Performance".
On the JP-8080, Patches are displayed as follows.

About Memory

Memory is where settings such as Patches are stored. The memory of the JP-8080 includes System memo-
ry, User memory, and Preset memory.
The JP-8080 can also use optional memory cards.
There is also a part of memory known as the Temporary Area, into which the settings of the currently-
selected Patch or Performance are called, and which your modifications will affect.
System Memory
System memory is where the settings of the system parameters which determine the overall operating
environment of the JP-8080 (i.e., all parameters that are set in [MIDI] and [SETUP]) are stored.
User Memory
User memory is where you can store the settings you create. It contains 128 Patches, 64 Performances, 48
Patterns, and 4 Motions. When the JP-8080 is shipped from the factory, the User Patches and User
Performances contain the same settings as the correspondingly-numbered Preset2 Patches and Preset2
Performances.
