Internal Memory
The MODX creates a variety of different kinds of data, including Performances, Live Sets, and Songs. This
section describes how to maintain the various types of data and use the memory devices/media for storing
them.
Preset Memory
Preset Memory is memory designed specifically for reading out data such as Preset Performance,
Arpeggio, and Audition Phrase. You cannot overwrite the data in Preset Memory.
Edit buffer
The edit buffer is the memory location for edited data of these types: Performance, Live Set, and Song.
Although the edit buffer is designed specifically for data writing and data reading, the data contained in
the edit buffer is lost when the power is turned off. You should always store edited data to User memory
before editing new performance or before turning off the power. Data other than Performance and Motion
Sequence are automatically stored.
User memory
User data edited in the Edit buffer and utility settings for the entire system are stored in the dedicated area
in the User memory. Up to eight Library files (.X8L) read from the USB flash drive are loaded in the
dedicated area in the User memory.
This is read-write memory and the data will be kept even after the power is turned off.
