Sampling, recording into the pattern sequencer, and parameter editing
operations are performed in "RAM." All of this data will be lost when you turn
off the power. If you want to keep the data, you must save it to a user bank
before turning off the power ( ☞ p.41 "Saving (writing)").
You can't save to the ROM bank.
