Listening to the demo songs

Loading the demo song data

1. Press the MODE GLOBAL switch (the LED will

light) to enter Global mode.

2. Access the Global P0: Basic Setup page.

If another page is displayed, press the EXIT switch.

3. Press the menu button in the upper right of the

4. In the “Kind” field, choose “All (Preload PCG and

When you execute loading, the preloaded data and the
demo song data will be loaded.

If you’ve edited a preloaded program or
combination, or created one from scratch,
executing this Load operation will overwrite your

the Preload PCG data, save your programs on an
SD card (commercially available). (See PG

A dialog box will ask you for confirmation.

Press the OK button or ENTER switch once again to
load the data.

Never turn off the power while data is being
loaded.

If the Memory Protected dialog appears, press the
System Pref. tab and clear the check mark from the
Memory Protect Song setting. Then load the data
again.
