About data storage to USB storage devices
As you make music with this instrument, you’ll create a wide variety of data—such as custom Voice data (including Voices,
Performances, etc.), and MIDI sequence data (Songs, Patterns, Arpeggios).
Naturally, you’ll want to store this data for safekeeping and future use, and for this reason the instrument is equipped with a
USB TO DEVICE connector—letting you save your data to a convenient USB storage device. To recall the data, use the Load
function. (Save and Load operations are done in the File mode; see page 211.)
Keep in mind that certain types of data are lost when you turn off the power and should be properly saved.
Data lost and data retained when power is turned off
The chart below lists the data types you can create on the instrument and the internal memory locations to which they are
stored, permanently or temporarily.
Make sure to save any data remaining in DRAM to a USB storage device before turning off the power, other wise the data will be lost.
* Includes the Mixing settings (pages 137, 138)
** Song Mixing/Pattern Mixing can be stored as Song/Pattern data and as a Mixing Template (which are not associated with a specific Song/Pattern).
n For details about the data types you can create on this instrument, the internal memory locations to which they are stored, and file types when saving
the created data to the USB storage device, refer to “Memory Structure” on page 149.
