Editing names
You can modify the name of an edited program,

etc.

These renaming operations can be performed in the 
following pages.
1. In the pages listed above, or after selecting a menu 
command in these pages, press the text edit button 
 to access the text edit dialog box.
Saving to media (Media–Save)
For details on the data that can be saved on storage 
media. For details, please see “Types of data that can 
be saved” on page 87.
Song data in the M50’s Sequencer mode, as well as 
multisamples and samples cannot be written into 
internal memory. This data will disappear when 
the power is turned off. In order to keep this data, 
you must write it to the SD card (commercially 
available). When you’ve come up with settings 
you like, it’s a good idea to save them, so that even 
if you subsequently edit those settings, you’ll 
always be able to reload the previous settings if 
desired.
Types of media you can use
SD card specifications
MS-DOS format FAT16 or FAT32 are supported.
Capacity recognized: FAT32: 2 Gigabytes (GB)
SDHC memory cards are not supported.
Media is not included. You will need to purchase it 
separately.
Inserting/removing a card in the SD 
card slot
If you’ve placed an SD card in the SD card slot, you can 
use it to save or load various types of Program, 
Combination, and Song data.
Inserting a card
• Insert an SD card in the SD card slot.
With the card label facing upward, insert the con-
nector end of the card into the SD card slot and 
press it in until you hear a click.
Make sure that the card is oriented correctly when 
you insert it. Forcing it in the wrong direction may 
damage the slot or the card, and the data may be 
lost.
Removing a card
Never remove an SD card from the slot while 
loading, saving, or formatting is in progress.
• Remove the card from the SD card slot.
Press the card inward; you will hear a click, and the 
card will pop out part-way, allowing you to pull it 
completely out.
