On the PF-500, a song file includes song data and a song number. Memory Memory is a location inside the PF-500 in which you can save and edit data. Character code Type of characters PF-500 memory The PF-500 has the following three types of memory: • Current memory: This is a temporary memory area where you can temporarily place and edit the currently-selected song before playback or recording. • Preset song memory: This read-only memory area saves 50 piano preset songs. • Storage memory: This memory area enables you to save recorded songs. When you select a song in the song select screen, it is loaded from Preset song memory or Storage memory into Current memory. You will use Current memory to play back and record songs. When you turn off the power to the PF-500, songs saved in Preset song memory and Storage memory are not erased. On the other hand, songs in Current memory are lost. If you wish to keep a song in Current memory, you must save it in Storage memory (see pages 45). In this manual, a song located in a song recorded in Current memory, is referred to as a "Current song" and a song in Storage memory is a "Memory song."
