song number.

the PF-500 in which you can

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 Stor-
age 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.”
