Editing and Saving Your Data
The OCTAPAD features some powerful editing tools such as pitch, decay, tone color etc. Also, the MFX for each kit can be edited as well.
All of your edits are automatically saved internally. If you need to, you can restore an individual kit to the factory settings. See "Restoring
the Factory Settings" (p. 30).
By connecting a USB flash drive (sold separately) to the OCTAPAD, you can back up all of the OCTAPAD's settings (or the settings for a
specified individual kit) to the USB flash drive. Be sure to back up your favorite data (p. 28).
