Internal Memory The MOX6/MOX8 creates a variety of different kinds of data, including Voice, Performance, Song, and Pattern. This section describes how to maintain the various types of data and use the memory devices/media for storing them.

This can be executed with the following operations: [SONG]  [JOB]  [F5] Track  07: Put Track to Arpeggio or [PATTERN]  [JOB]  [F5] Track  07: Put Track to Arpeggio Flash ROM ROM (Read Only Memory) is memory designed specifically for reading out data, and as such data cannot be written to it. Unlike conventional ROM, Flash ROM can be overwritten-allowing you to store your own original data. The contents of Flash ROM are maintained even when the power is turned off. DRAM RAM (Random Access Memory) is memory designed specifically for data writing and data reading operations. There are two different kinds of RAM, depending on the condition for storing the data: SRAM (Static RAM) and DRAM (Dynamic RAM). The MOX6/MOX8 is equipped with only DRAM. Because data contained in DRAM is lost when the power is turned off, you should always store any data residing in DRAM to the Flash ROM or a USB flash memory before turning off the power.
