Hi Walter,

Thanks, for your help. When I create a new sound, name it and give it a number,
isn't this permanently filing the sound in the keyboard under MEMORY? This is the
first and only style I have created in COMPOSER using my own custom sounds.
Let me make it clear, I have created many original patterns (styles, whatever) in
COMPOSER - I am familiar with the process. What I am presently experiencing is -
when I have brought up the pattern (CUSTOM STYLE) that I have been working on
(in this case, not finished) from CUSTOM STYLE to Recording Memory A, this is
when the memories in SOUND get fowled up. I have to reload the custom sounds
back into the keyboard, straighten them out in PART SETTING and go on with my
work. Everything to this point is working, i.e., the sounds are in memory and the
style is playing the correct sounds. I then save the pattern from Memory A back into
the CUSTOM STYLE number. Then I save the work to a floppy and all is o.k. The
keyboard keeps all the custom sounds in MEMORY and the sounds remain
whether I turn the keyboard off or not. It is ONLY when I again go to this custom
style and bring it up again later or the next day when it has to be put back into
Memory A to continue my work that all the sounds disappear from the MEMORY
and I have to go through the whole mess again to straighten them out. I can't
understand why, if I have saved these in sound MEMORY they won't stay there. I
am beginning to wonder if you can only save successfully custom sounds for use in
Rt 1 and Rt 2 only and perhaps Left.

Thanks, to all that have replied.
