About memory

The memory of the RC-20XL is divided into two areas: phrase tracks 1–11 and
temporary memory.

A phrase that you record or overdub is first stored in temporary memory.
The phrase stored in temporary memory is temporary, and will be erased when the
following operations occur.
• When you turn off the power
• When you select a different phrase track
Before you perform any of these operations, make sure to save the phrase in a phrase
track if you wish to keep it (p. 29).
If the overdubbing produces a phrase that you like, save it to the phrase track before
using the next procedure. Once the data is saved to the phrase tracks, it can be called
up anytime afterwards.
If you wish to erase (clear) only the phrase in temporary memory, press and hold
the right pedal for two seconds or longer.
What is a phrase track?
A phrase track is an area of internal memory in which phrases are stored. Phrases that
are saved here will not be lost when the power is turned off. Also, phrases that are
saved here can be selected at any time by using the PHRASE SELECT knob.
The phrases that can be saved in phrase tracks 1–11 can have a maximum total length
of 16 minutes.
You can only change the playback tempo (p. 33) of phrases saved to the phrase
tracks. To change the playback tempo of a phrase stored in temporary memory
immediately following overdubbing or recording, save it to a phrase track.
