If you are satisfied with your changes and wish to
preserve them, save your style/song.
See
“Saving Your New Style or Song (SMF) Version”
(p. 54).
NOTE
The changes you make using the procedure described above can
be
“burned”
into the style/song file using the
“Freeze Data”
command (see p. 54). Doing so will allow you to hear those
changes on any sequencer (software) you use. Changes you don’t
“freeze”
are nevertheless stored when you save the edited style/
song file—but only the E-A7 can read them.
