NOTE
5 If you want to save the Pad setting in One Touch, first call the One
Touch you want to change. If you recall a different One Touch
memory while editing a One Touch memory, the state of your
editing is lost.
5 If a phrase or tone is assigned in the pad settings, the UPG or One
Touch remembers only the link to that phrase or file.
This means that if the link-destination file cannot be found, for
example because you renamed, deleted, or moved the user
phrase, or disconnected the external storage, no sound is heard.
