Data Configuration and Handling
The A3000 main memory loses all data at power off. It is therefore essential that you save all
important data to disk before you switch off the power. Of course, you must also reload the data
you wish to use each time you switch the power back on.
This section describes the relationship between data in main memory and data stored on disk.

In addition to sample data and program data, the A3000 main memory also stores sys-
tem parameters and sequence data.
System Parameters Master tuning, total equalization, and other system-wide settings.
These settings apply in common to all programs .
Sequence Data Performance data received and recorded from an external MIDI
device. (Sequence data exists in memory only if you load it from
disk or generate it from an external device.)
The following illustration shows the structure of all data in main memory.
