Saving the song

After recording, the song is stored into a temporary, non-per-
manent memory. To preserve it from deletion when turning
the instrument off or choosing a different song, you must save
it into the User Song album. There are several ways to do it.
By choosing the Save Song command
You can select the Save Song command at any moment. The
Save Song page also allows you to assign or modify the name
of the song, and save all the changes.
