accordingly.

NOTE
¹ Once you store settings in a memory, any existing settings that
were stored in that memory are lost.
¹ The settings you store can be lost if you take the unit in for repair
or due to equipment failure, incorrect operations or other such
causes. To avoid the nuisance of losing your data, back up the
important data you've stored in the unit, or write the settings
down by hand. You can use the dedicated app (p. 4) or an app on
your mobile device (p. 9) to back up the settings stored on this
unit.

Here's how to recall the knob settings that are stored in memory.

Press the [MEMORY] button to select the memory to
recall.
This changes the unit's knob settings to the settings stored in the
memory you selected.
* Note that the volume may change abruptly when switching
between memories, depending on the settings stored in the
memories.
MEMO
If you move a knob after recalling a memory, the setting or value for
that knob changes to the knob's current position.
Once the knob's actual position matches the position that's stored
in memory, the [MEMORY] button immediately goes dark.
