Writing to internal memory

Writing a Program or Combination

The Program and Combination settings you’ve edited
in the various editing pages can be saved to internal
memory. This action is referred to as “writing a
program” or “writing a Combination.” If you want
your edited data to be preserved after the power is
turned off, you must write it.

There are two ways to write a Program or
Combination.

Before you write data into memory, you must turn
off the memory protect setting in Global mode.
(See “Memory protect” on page 142)

A combination does not contain the actual
program data for each timbre, but simply
remembers the number of the program used by
each timbre. If you edit a program that is used by a
combination, or exchange it with a different
program number, the sound of the combination
will also change.

Using the Write menu command

1. Verify that the program or combination you want

to save is selected.

2. Select the menu command “Write Program” or

“Write Combination.”

The Write Program or Write Combination dialog box
will appear.

Note: You can also access the same dialog box by
holding down the ENTER switch and pressing the 0
switch. (See “Shortcuts” on page 200)

Cancel button.

When you press the OK button, the display will ask
