Saving the Data
When the power is turned off, all of the data will be erased. If you have any data that you want to
keep, make sure that you save the data to a disk before the power is turned off.

the type of file.

file when the APS file is saved. The APS only contains pro-
gram data, but when a file is loaded, the sounds used by the
program will be loaded as well.

program data, but when a file is loaded, the sounds used by
the program will be loaded as well.
