Managing songs
The Pocketstudio 5 regards all pieces as being a
song. A song contains the audio and other data and
settings you have set up, and may be created, saved,
named and deleted.
Remember that you must save the song manually
whenever you make any changes to any data that is
not recording data. This includes any tone generator
or pattern changes, naming, etc. If you do not do this,
these changes will not be there when you turn the
machine off and on again.
