Importing a Pattern or Kit
Here’s how you can import a saved kit or pattern from an SD card.
File formats that can be imported
5 Backup files created by the TR-6S
5 Export files created by the TR-6S

Simply executing the import does not save the kit or pattern in
internal memory, so it will be lost when you turn off the power. After
importing, execute “Saving the Pattern, Kit, or System Settings
