12. Store a copy?
Unlike many synths, the Micron does not have fixed “banks” of
programs, patterns, and so on, each with a predetermined number
of storage locations. Instead, you may freely create and delete
setups at any time, just as you would on a computer.
“Store a copy?” is how you create a new setup. This option
creates a brand new copy of the current setup, differing only in
name. Now, when you make changes and hit the [store] button,
you will be storing to this new copy.
Whenever you want to start a new setup from scratch, you will
have to find an existing setup to base it off of, and then store a
copy. Don’t forget to store a copy, or you might accidentally
overwrite the original setup.

Store your changes!
Be sure to press the [store] button after you’re satisfied with your
changes. Otherwise, your changes will be lost when the Micron is
turned off.
However, keep in mind that you don’t lose any changes when you
switch to other modes, so feel free to browse through programs or
rhythms without storing your setup.
You can even play other setups without losing your edits. Just hit
the [setups] button and turn the control knob. You can always
come back to your edited setup, just as you left it. The Micron
doesn’t discard your edits until you start editing a different setup.
