Let me clear this up, the instrument doesn't have volatile battery backed RAM, nor does the instrument have ROM which most manufactures put their sounds and styles. This instrument can completely change from software update to software update. The sounds and styles are not stored permanently on a chip. Every function is stored on the instrument via Flash RAM. In theory all the sounds and styles can be removed and your own personal sounds and styles can be put in there place. The genesys has 8 Megs of Flash free that you can load songs, styles, samples, MP3, etc. In theory, if you want more room for your own stuff, get rid of the things you aren't going to use on the instrument to free up some flash ram.

This is a completely new way of looking at an instrument, and can confuse people that are use too the old battery backed RAM and familiar with having the manufactures sounds and styles permanently embedded on the chip.
