Types of data that can be saved

On this instrument, there are three ways to save data:
writing to internal memory, saving on floppy disc,
and MIDI data dump.
Writing to internal memory
The following data that you edit can be written into
internal memory.
• Program
Programs 0–127 in banks A–F
(However, bank F is available only if the separately
sold EXB-MOSS option is installed.)
• Combination
Combinations 0–127 in banks A–F
• Global settings (Page 1.1-4.1, 6.1)
• User drum kits 00 (A/B)–63 (User)
• User template songs U00-U15
Song settings such as the song name and tempo,
track settings ( p.59), KARMA function settings,
and effect settings can be saved (Write) to internal
memory. However, the musical data for song tracks
and patterns are not saved to internal memory. Fur-
thermore, settings that govern how the musical data
is played back such as "Meter," "Metronome,"
"Play/Mute," "Track Play Loop (including Start/
End Measure)," and RPPR settings will not be saved
either. Use the Sequencer mode or Song Play mode
utility menu command "Save Template Song" to
write this data ( PG p.73).
Data that you edit in Sequencer or Song Play can-
not be saved in internal memory by the Write oper-
ation.

About preloaded data and preset data

tion "Writing to internal memory." This data is also
stored on the included floppy disk.

• Combination banks A, B, E: 000–127
• User drum kits 00 (A/B)–15 (A/B)
