Korg 2E ii User Manual

On the TR, there are three ways to save data: writing to 
internal memory

, saving on external media (SD card 

, and MIDI data dump.

The following data that you edit can be written into 
internal memory.

• Program

Programs 0–127 in banks A–D

• Combination

Combinations 0–127 in banks A–C

• Global settings (Page 1.1–4.1)
• User drum kits 00 (INT)–23 (User)
• User arpeggio Patterns 000 (INT)–215 (User)
• User template songs U00-U15

Song settings such as the song name and tempo, 
track settings (

effect settings can be saved (Write) to internal mem-
ory. However, the musical data for song tracks and 
patterns are not saved to internal memory. Further-
more, settings that govern how the musical data is 
played back such as “Meter,” “Metronome,” “Play/
Mute,” “Track Play Loop (including Start/End Mea-
sure),” and RPPR settings will not be saved either. 
Use the Sequencer mode Utility menu command 
“Save Template Song” to write this data (

Data that you edit in Sequencer or Sampling mode 
(if the EXB-SMPL option is installed) cannot be 
saved in internal memory by the Write operation.

If the EXB-SMPL (sold separately) option is 
installed, and you are using RAM bank multisam-
ples or samples as the Multisample or Drum Kit 
of a program, it is not possible to write this multi-
sample or sample data (i.e., to save it perma-
nently). This means that the sound of a program or 
combination that uses RAM bank multisamples or 
samples will not be reproduced the next time the 
power is turned on. In order to reproduce these 
sounds, the saved multisamples and samples must 
be loaded from external media (e.g., SD card).

The following data can be saved on external media (SD 
card etc.). If the EXB-SMPL option is installed, this data 
can also be saved on high-capacity media such as a 
SCSI hard disk etc.

For details on the file format, refer to PG p.141.

at the factory. This data can be rewritten, and is written 
into the various locations listed in the preceding sec-
tion “Writing to internal memory.” This data is main-
tained inside the TR, and can be reloaded using the
