Media structure

Each device (and the internal memory) can contain files and
folders. Data in the Pa800 is slightly more rigidly structured than
in a computer, due to the pre-configured type of data inside the
instrument's memory. The diagram below shows the global
structure of a Pa800 device.
Note: Style banks from 1 to 17 (Factory Styles) can be seen in
Media mode only when the "Factory Style and Pad Protect"
parameter is set to Off (see page 235), and only when loading or
saving a single Style bank.
