lowing mass storage device types:

Flash-ROM memory. Similar to a hard disk.

ory. Only accessible when updating the Operat-
ing System and Musical Resources, or exchanging
Factory Sound, Styles and Pads.

About the SSD
The SSD (Solid State Disk) is a non-volatile memory, whose
content is preserved even after turning the instrument off. It is
divided in the following separate areas:
SSD area Content type
User PCM Up to 64 MB of imported or recorded PCM
Samples
System Area (SSD-S) Operating System and Musical Resources
(Styles, Pads, Sounds, Performances, STSs,
Multisamples and Global settings).
Includes the User and Favorite data.
User Area (SSD-U) 20 MB area reserved to the user. To be
considered similar to a special type of
hard disk.
SSD and the internal RAM memory
After turning the instrument on, all data contained in the System
area of the SSD (Factory and User data) are transferred to a
RAM memory. This memory is volatile, and will be deleted
when turning the instrument off.
Before turning the instrument off, please remember to save any
new or modified data, like Songs or Samples.
