10.10.7 TEMPORARY SAVE AND RELOAD PATTERN COMMANDS
Patterns can instantly be saved to a temporary memory space and then reloaded again from this space.
• To perform a temporary save of the active pattern, press [FUNC] + [YES]. This is useful when you
want to create a restore point when live tweaking, but without permanently save your changes.
• To perform a temporary reload of the active pattern, press [FUNC] + [NO]. It then reloads the pattern
from when you last used the temporary save command. If you have not done any temporary save, then
the pattern reloads from the permanently saved state.
The TEMPORARY SAVE PATTERN and TEMPORARY RELOAD PATTERN commands
are great when improvising live. Any changes made to the active pattern, like adding bass
line notes or using CONTROL ALL, can immediately be undone. The temporary saves and
reloads do not aect the pattern in a permanent way.
The TEMPORARY SAVE PATTERN command does not save the pattern permanently, and
any changes are lost if you load another project. If you wish to save your changes per-
manently, you should use SAVE TO PROJ in the PATTERN MENU. For more information,
please see “10.7 PATTERN MENU” on page 37.
