As a result, it is vital that you save your work to disk before turning
the power off otherwise you will lose your work and, unless previously
saved or backed up, it will be gone for ever. In fact, it is a good idea to
regularly save your work as you are working. All good computer users
do this and it prevents the accidental loss of data should power be
accidentally removed from the instrument. This also serves as a form
of ‘undo’ - if you make some kind of mistake in your programming and
editing and can’t fix it, you can load the last level of editing back into
the sampler. It may be a bit tedious to keep stopping every now and
then to save your work but it is better than losing some valuable
sounds.
