Saving a song
If you want to keep song data that you created, you must perform this Write/Rename
operation. If you don’t want to keep the song you created, simply switch songs
without performing Write/Rename.
Be aware that when you save a song, the song that had previously
occupied the save-destination will be overwritten.
To simply save the song
1. Press the WRITE/RENAME key.
The parameter display will indicate “WriteTo,” and the value dis-
play will indicate “(the save-destination song number).”
At this time you can press the SHIFT key to change the display from
“(the save-destination song number)” to the corresponding “(six char-
acters of the Song name).”
To overwrite onto a different song
Use the dial to change the song number to the desired save-destina-
tion. Be sure to select a song number that does not contain impor-
tant data you want to keep.
2. Press the WRITE/RENAME key to begin saving. The WRITE/RE-
NAME key will light while the data is being saved, and will go dark
when the operation is completed. If you decide to cancel, press the
STOP/CANCEL key.
When the data has been saved, the save-destination song number
will be selected.
To rename and save the song
1. Hold down the shift key and press the WRITE/RENAME key once
(the key will blink). The parameter display will indicate “Rename,”
and the value display will show “(six characters of the song name)”
2. Assign a name to the song. Use the [ ]/[ ] cursor keys to move
the cursor in the value display to the left or right, and turn the dial
to edit the character. You can assign a name of up to eight characters
to a song, however only six at a time are visible during naming.
When you have finished, press the WRITE/RENAME key.
3. Select the song number where you want to save the song. The pa-
rameter display will indicate “WriteTo,” and the value display will
show “(the save-destination song number).” If you now press the shift
key, the “(save destination song number)” will change to show “(six
characters of the song name).” Turn the dial to select the song number
where you want to store the song, and make sure that you will not
be overwriting an important song that you want to keep.
4. Press the WRITE/RENAME key once again to begin saving the data.
The key will light while the data is being saved, and will go dark
when saving is completed. If you decide to cancel, press the STOP/
CANCEL key.
With the factory settings, the Memory Protect setting is turned on,
so the data will not be saved. Turn the Global mode Memory Pr otect
setting off before you execute this operation (☞p.75 “Protecting the
data in memory”).
Never turn of f the power while data is being saved to memory (i.e.,
while the WRITE/RENAME key is lit). Doing so can destr oy the data.
