How to save data
You can save the various types of data listed in “Types
of data that can be saved” on page 163, but as an
example here we’ll explain how to save the following:
• Internal memory programs, combinations, global
settings, drum kits, and wave sequences
• Songs
• Multisamples and samples created in Sampling
mode etc.
If you save this data to low-capacity media, you
may need more than one disk.
1. Prepare the media on which you want to save the
data. (See “Media setup” on page 168)
2. Press the MODE DISK switch to enter Disk mode.

then the Save tab.
4. Press Drive Select to select the save-destination
drive.

directory in which you want to save the data.
Press the Open button to move to a lower level, or
press the Up button to move to an upper level.
Note: If you are saving data on high-capacity media,
we recommend that you create directories to organize
the media into sections.
To create a new directory, move to the level at which
you want to create the directory, and execute the
Utility page menu command “Create Directory.”

the file you want to save. (See p.166)
