be transmitted as MIDI exclusive data, and saved on a
connected external device such as a data filer. For details,
refer to “MIDI data dump” (p.38).
8. Editing
You can edit the tone or name of the selected program.
When editing a program, it is a good idea to start by
selecting the program that is closest to what you have in
mind, and make your changes from there.
This section explains some simple ways to edit.
If you select another program or turn off the power
before writing your edited settings, the changes will
be lost. For details, refer to “Writing a program”
