See, I was never really clear on this issue. I may not fully answer question, but I will start a dialog.

See, I use to have an XP50. I have all of these patch banks from various sources, plus I create some of my own user voices when I edit. On the XP50, there was no [Save Song+Sound] option. You always had to save the song and the sound separately.

Fast Foward a year and a half later. I buy the XP60. I see this [Save Song+Sound] option. I say to myself "Yeah right". See, my pre-assumption is that you can use this option if you consistently use the same patch banks together for every song you make.

Suppose I loaded in the "Dance Kit" and used that for my song. Then I reset the XP to the Factory settings (This means I have the original patch bank). Then I load in my Saved Song+Sound and assume that the song will play properly. To my knowledge, this would select the right patch numbers, but not the right sounds because they don't exist in the default bank.

Okay, maybe I should shut the hell up now. See, I never actually tried this because I'm too chicken to do that. We'll wait until someone clears this up for us.

Lastly - Did you remember to use the [Patch+Utility+Write] followed by the [Performance+Utility+Write] functions to save your Patch to the user area and then assign the Performance to realize that you changed a patch in the performance? You must do both.
