Precautions when Recording
If you change the pad number, or if you perform an
operation that exits the pad screen or pad setting
screen before saving the data you recorded to the
pad as user data, the recorded data will be discarded
and the pad data will return to what it was before
you recorded new data.
If a MIDI recorder or audio recorder recording
operation is in progress, stop it before performing a
pad recording operation.
An operation that exits the pad screen cannot be
performed during pad recording standby or while
pad recording is in progress.
If you record to a pad and then save the pad bank
before saving the recorded data as user data, the
recorded data will be discarded and the pad bank
will be save with the unsaved pad returned to the
data assigned to it prior to the recording.
