Basic Operation About data storage to USB storage devices 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.
