Sounds of the Factory type are usually write-protected (unless
you uncheck the "Factory Sound Protect" option in the Global >
Mode Preferences > Media page). Sounds of the Legacy type are
standard Factory Sounds allowing greater compatibility with
older Pa-Series instruments. Factory Sounds of the GM type
allow for compatibility with General MIDI sounds. Sounds of
the User type are locations where you can load new Sounds from
an external device, or save new or edited Sounds. The User DK
type is where you can load new Drum Kits, or save new or edited
Drum Kits.
