Chapter 10. Saving Your Settings

Performances/patches that you create can be saved either in internal memory, a memory card, or on an exter-
nal sequencer. Also, performances/patches that have been saved in internal memory can be saved on a mem-
ory card or an external sequencer in groups.
RPS patterns cannot be directly recorded to a memory card, but RPS patterns that have been recorded into
internal memory can be saved to a memory card.
Motion Control cannot be recorded directly to a memory card. However, Motion Control that has been
recorded to internal memory can be saved either on a memory card or on an external sequencer.
System settings (all parameters set by [MIDI] and [SETUP] (p.122–126)) can be saved either on a memory card
or on an external sequencer.

Storing a Performance/Patch

Once you modify the sound with a slider/knob and button,
then " * " (asterisk) will appear in the display, indicating
that the settings of the selected Performance have been
modified.
If you select a different Performance/Patch while the aster-
isk is displayed, the current settings will be lost. If you wish
to keep the current settings, you must use the following
procedure to write them to internal memory or optional
memory card.
You can assign a name of up to 16 characters to your
Performance/Patch.
* Performances/patches can also be saved on an external
sequencer. (p.137)

Assigning a Name

Before you save data, it is a good idea to modify the name
so that the data can be distinguished.
1
Press [EDIT].
The [EDIT] indicator will light and the BANK [1]–[8]
indicators will blink.
2
In the case of a performance, press [PFM COMMON]
(BANK [1]) to select the Performance Name page.
In the case of a patch, press [PATCH] (BANK [4]) to
select the Patch Name page.
The following display will appear, and the "_" (cursor)
will appear below the name.

In the case of a patch, you will also need to press
PANEL SELECT [LOWER]/[UPPER] to select the part.
If you decide not to modify the name, press [EXIT].
4
Use GROUP [DOWN]/[UP] to move the cursor to
the location where you wish to input a character.
5
Use [DEC]/[INC] to specify the character.
* If you hold down one of the [DEC]/[INC] buttons and
then press the other button, the change will become
more rapid in the direction of the first-pressed button.
You can use this function whenever using the
[DEC]/[INC] buttons to specify a value.
The following characters can be selected.
space, A–Z, a–z, 0–9, ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * +
, - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ ¥ ] ^ _ ` { | }
When inputting characters, the NUMBER [1]–[8] buttons
have the following convenient functions.
[1]: Display an "." at the cursor location.
[2]: Display a space at the cursor location.
[3]: Display an "A" at the cursor location.
[4]: Display an "a" at the cursor location.
[5]: Display a "0" at the cursor location.
