n If desired, save the edited and stored Performances to a
USB storage device connected to the USB TO DEVICE

which the MOTIF XS is also connected. Keep in mind that
edited Performance data is stored to internal User
memory (Flash ROM) and is stored even when turning the
power off. As such it is not necessary to save the data to
an external device; however, we still recommend that you
save or archive all important data to an external device.
