NOTICE
• The edited Performance will be lost when selecting the
different Performance or turning the power off. Make sure to
store the Performance data to the internal memory by
pressing the [STORE] button before selecting a different
Performance or turning the power off.
• Because User Memory to which the Performance is stored is
Flash Memory, the edited and stored Performance will not be
erased even if the power is turned off. You need not worry
about losing your stored data. The Performance Store
operation, however, will overwrite the Performance data
already stored to the destination Performance number. For
this reason, important data should always be backed up to a
separate USB storage device or to a computer connected via
network to the MOTIF XF (page 241).
