Edit buffer & User memory The edit buffer is the memory location for edited data of these types: Voice, Performance, Master, Song Mixing, and Pattern Mixing. Data edited in this location will be stored to the User Memory. In Voice/ Performance/Master/Mixing mode, the edit buffer is the memory location only for one program. Therefore, if you select another Voice, Performance, Master, Song, or Pattern, the entire contents of the edit buffer will be rewritten with the newly selected Voice/Performance/Mixing data. Make sure to store any important data before selecting another Voice, etc. In Song/Pattern mode, the edit buffer for the sequencer settings is the memory location for the entire programs of both modes (64 x 2). Therefore, even if you select another mode (Song mode or Pattern mode) or another Song or Pattern, the sequence data of old Songs/Patterns will be kept. Make sure to store the sequence data before turning off the power, because the kept sequence data will be lost when the power is turned off. If you store the sequence data, all Song data and all Pattern data including the Mixing settings will be stored to User memory. Edit buffer and Recall buffer If you've selected another Voice/Performance/Song/Pattern without storing the one you were editing, you can recall your original edits, since the edit buffer's contents are stored on backup memory. If you've selected another Voice/Performance/Song/Pattern without storing the one you were editing, you can recall your original edits. NOTE Keep in mind that the recall buffer is not available in the Master Edit mode.
