Saving the data to the internal flash memory

If you select INTERNAL MEMORY in the SAVE to field of the LOAD page, you can save the data to the MPC1000's
internal flash memory. This is available only when SAVE ALL PROGRAMS &SAMPLES or SAVE ALL SEQS
&SONGS is selected in the Type field. You cannot save the individual sample or sequence data.
The saved data will be loaded automatically when you turn on the MPC1000, like the preset program and the demo
sequence.
Note: The internal flash memory has the factory preset program and demo sequence. When you save the data into
the internal flash memory, the new data will overwrite the factory data.
When SAVE ALL SEQS & SONGS is selected
01. Select INTERNAL MEMORY in the SAVE to field of the Save page.
02. Select SAVE ALL SEQS & SONGS in the Type field.
03. Press the [F6] (DO IT) key.
The CAUTION window will be displayed. In this window, press the [F5] (DO IT) key.
The CAUTION window will be displayed again, asking for the confirmation. Press the [F3] (DO IT) key to save
the data.
When SAVE ALL PROGRAMS &SAMPLES is selected
The internal flash memory cannot have the file that is larger than 5 MB. Make sure that the value in the Size
field, which will be displayed when you select SAVE ALL PROGRAMS &SAMPLES in the Type field of the SAVE
page, does not exceed 5M.
01. In the SAVE to field of the Save page, select INTERNAL MEMORY.
02. In the Type field, select SAVE ALL PROGRAMS &SAMPLES.
03. Press the [F6] (DO IT) key.
The CAUTION window will be displayed. In this window, press the [F5] (DO IT) key.
The CAUTION window will be displayed again, asking for the confirmation. Press the [F3] (DO IT) key to save
the data.
Tips: The INTERNAL folder in the compact flash memory that comes with the MPC1000 contains the same factory
preset programs and demo sequences that are saved in a MPC1000's flash memory. You can reset the flash
memory to the default data, by loading these files from the INTERNAL folder and saving them into the flash
memory.
