Before saving your settings
Before saving your “made-up” song to the internal hard
disk or a USB storage device, you can (but you don’t
have to) “commit” your changes, thereby turning them
into “regular” song data. (SMF MAKEUP TOOLS settings
are SysEx data only the JM-8, E-80, E-60, E-50 and G-70
understand.)
This may come in handy for two reasons:
• To be able to edit the “final” version of your SMF song
with the 16-track Sequencer. Those functions ignore
the “cosmetic” SysEx data you add using the SMF
MAKEUP TOOLS.
• To play back your new song version on another
sequencer or your computer.
To commit your changes, press the
[FREEZE¥DATA]
display button on any of the pages discussed so far:
The display responds with “Operation Complete”
when the data have been converted.
Careful : this
operation cannot be undone.
Note: This operation is unnecessary for files you only want
to use with the JM-8.
Saving your modified song
(1) If you are happy with your changes and wish to
preserve them, press the

the file will be saved. If you don’t, proceed to step (4)
below.

[NEW¥FOLDER]
display button.
