Make sure to store the Mixing program before executing these operations. Saving the Song/Pattern data to the USB storage device [FILE] ➞ [F2] SAVE CAUTION The recorded Song and Pattern data resides temporarily in DRAM (page 150). Because data contained in DRAM is lost when the power is turned off, you should always save any data residing in DRAM to a USB storage device before turning off the power. After connecting the USB storage device to this synthesizer, follow the instructions below. Press the [FILE] button to enter the File mode. 1 Then press the [F1] CONFIG button and [SF1] CURRENT button If the device is divided into several partitions, select the specific partition for use. If the device has several media (e.g., discs) inserted, select a specific Slot number. 2 Press the [F2] SAVE button to call up the Save display. 3 Set the TYPE parameter to "All." Move the cursor to the TYPE, then set the File type by using the data dial, [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] button. You can select one of the following four file types to save the Song or Pattern data. Here, select "All" because various kinds of data have been created in order to complete a Song. All All Song All Pattern SMF All data in this synthesizer's internal User Memory is treated as a single file (extension: M7A), and can be saved to a USB storage device. All the User Song data in this synthesizer's internal User Memory (DRAM) is treated as a single file (extension: W7S), and can be saved to a USB storage device. All the User Pattern data in this synthesizer's internal User Memory (DRAM) is treated as a single file (extension: W7P), and can be saved to a USB storage device.
