Save Operations
Although data are retained in the machine RAM memory even when the
instrument is turned off, it is advisable to save a copy of your data to a
Floppy Disk. RAM is best used as a dynamic work area and not as a data
storage device.
WK1 WK1
WK1 WK1
WK1 can be saved to a Floppy Disk:
1. as single elements (Song, Style, MidiFile);
2. as set of files from a Group (AllStyles , Performances, SMP)
3. as an “ ALL” operation, that is, saving all the data kept in the RAM
memory.
To save a file as a single element, you can either use the same name, or
rename the file. No name is requested to save a Performance, a Style or
an ALL format file.
