these songs.
CAUTION
This operation cannot be undone. Erasing songs is a
permanent operation. Always think carefully before
you erase a song or songs.
NOTE
This menu can erase only the songs stored on the
currently-selected partition. If you want to erase a
song or songs from another partition, you must select

If you have selected all the songs on a partition for
erasure, a new song will automatically be created
after all the existing songs have been erased.
Saving a song
The function described here saves the song to disk.

As the song is saved, appropriate messages are
displayed. The current song will be reloaded after it
has been saved, and you can resume work on it.
NOTE
When you load another song or shutdown the
2488MKII, the work done on the current song is
automatically saved. However, power failures, acci-
dentally unplugging power cords and other accidents
that cause a loss of power may cause recent song
data to be lost. For this reason, we encourage you to
save your work frequently, especially after important
recording, editing or other work.
Reverting to the previously saved version of a song
If you have saved a song and you want to return to the
version of the song at the time it was last saved:
1 Press the
MENU
key to open the MENU screen. Use
the cursor keys to select the SONG item, and then
press the
YES/ENTER
key.
2 At the SONG menu, use the cursor keys to high-
light the REVERT option. Press
YES/ENTER
.
3 The 2488MKII asks if you are sure. Press
YES/
ENTER
if you want to throw away all changes since
the last save operation, otherwise press
NO/EXIT
.
CAUTION
You will lose all recordings and edits made since the
last save, and they will disappear from the undo list.
This revert operation is not undoable. Be sure that
the work you have done since the last save operation
is really work that you do not want to keep before
reverting to a previous version.
