Writing to internal memory

Writing Programs and Combinations
Edits to Programs and Combinations can be saved to the
internal memory, which we'll refer to as "Writing." If you
want edits to be preserved after the power is turned off, you
must write them.
There are two ways to write Programs and Combinations, as
described below: using the Write menu commands, and
using the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE button.
Do not turn off the power for at least 10 seconds after
using any of the Write commands. This allows the
system time to complete the process, which includes
saving a backup of the data to the internal disk.
Before you write data into memory, you must turn off the
related memory protect setting(s) in Global mode. (See
"Memory protect" on page 195.)
Combinations rely on Programs to make sounds, but they
don't contain the actual Program parameters. Instead,
they simply remember the Program banks and numbers.
If you edit a Program that's used by a Combination, or
load a different Program into the same bank and number,
the sound of the Combination will also change.
Using the Write commands
1. Anywhere in Program or Combination modes, select
the page menu command "Write Program" or "Write
Combination."
The Write Program or Write Combination dialog box will
appear.
Note: You can also reach the same dialog box by holding
down the ENTER button and pressing 0 on the numeric
keypad. (See "Shortcuts" on page 6.)
The screen shown is for Program mode
2. Check the program/combination name displayed in
the upper line (the writing source).
3. If you wish to change the name of the program/
combination, press the text edit button.

• Demo songs
Preset data is data that cannot be rewritten by the Write
operation. This includes the following data:
• The General MIDI Program banks, including G, g(1)–
g(9), and g(d): 001–128
• Preset Drum Kits 144 (GM)–152 (GM)
• Preset Template Songs P00–P17
• Preset patterns P000–P718
The text dialog box will appear. Enter the name of the
program/combination. See "Editing names and entering
text" on page 193.
After you have entered the name, press the OK button to
return to the Write Program/Write Combination dialog box.
4. In "Category," specify the category of the Program/
Combination.
5. Select a Sub Category as well.
Both Combinations and Programs can be selected by
Category, in addition to bank and number. For more
information about Categories and Programs, see "Selecting
by Category" on page 33; for similar information about
Combinations, see "Selecting by Category" on page 64.
You can also select Programs by Category from within
Combinations and Songs. For more information, see
"Selecting Programs for Combi Tracks" on page 66.
6. Use "To" to specify the bank and number of the
writing destination program/combination.
Use the VALUE controllers or the BANK switches to make
your selection.
7. To execute the Write operation, press the OK button.
To cancel without executing press the Cancel button.
When you press the OK button, the display will ask "Are
you sure?" When you press the OK button once again, the
data will be written.
Using the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE button
In Program and Combination modes, pressing the
SEQUENCER REC/WRITE button opens the Update
dialog box.
This is a shortcut method which saves changes to the current
bank/number location, overwriting the old version of the
Program or Combination. (If you want to save changes to a
different bank and/or number, use the Write menu command
instead.)
To update a Program or Combination:
1. Press the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE button.
The Update Program/Update Combination dialog box
will appear.
