when
it
is
shipped
from
the
factory.
You

free
to
rewrite
this
data,
and
with
the
exception
of
the
demo
songs,
the
data
will
be
written
to
the
location
as
described
in
“Writing
to
internal
memory.”
This
data
is
stored
in
the
microSTATION’s
system
area.
The
preload

can
be
reloaded
into
internal
memory
via
an
SD
card
by
using
a
