Storing songs
Since the unit does not automatically save the audio you

performing frequent manual saves.

includes editing, settings, etc.

(§/) keys to highlight the SAVE action.

ENTER to save the file to disk or card.

song is saved.
The REVERT action (which follows the SAVE action in the
SONG menu) allows you to undo all changes since the last
save.
When you select the REVERT, the title of the song is shown.
Press YES/ENTER to go back to the last saved version, or
NO/EXIT to keep the current song as it is.
