Bob, I thought I gave a good example by saying if I saved SOUND MEMORY in a sequenced song I did six months ago and after playing it, wanting to immediately play a live performance by using Panel Memories, I would not have the later added sounds in SOUND MEMORY that I have chosen in a current Panel Memory to play live. It seems to me that you load from the SD card every song you play. I use the SD card only when I have to. I don’t want to be bothered of loading each song I play and the way you are suggesting is what I would have to do. If I put Sound Memory on every song that I did in Sequencer, the Sound Memory would most likely be changing. If I wanted to play a song live, I would have to download Sound Memory to make sure I had the latest sounds in my Panel Memories. I don’t want to do that. I might want to play 10 songs live and I expect all the sounds that I created to be in Sound Memory. Saving SOUND MEMORY in every sequenced song is a dangerous thing when one plays live because of the changing sound possibilities. Saving Sound Memory in every sequenced song the way you do might be fine for someone who does not change sounds in Sound Memory or who plays every song by loading them from the SD card.

When I did this CUSTOM PANEL setting, the CUSTOM STYLES did not change – they are fine. The only thing that changed was RIGHT2 in all the Panel Memories. What I didn’t make clear in my post was that the sounds in SOUND MEMORY had not changed. What changed was what took place in BANK A Panel Memories where I have my songs sequenced. The sound in RIGHT2 in all the BANK A Panel Memories changed to BIG BAND BRASS. I had to go to every song I saved and change RIGHT2 to the correct sound used in each Panel Memory. This strange thing did not happen in RIGHT1 in any of the Panel Memories.

Bob, from what you said about using the CUSTOM PANEL, it doesn’t sound like it would be much use to me. If it is going to negate any setting by going to another Panel Memory, I don’t see the advantage. Saving a sequenced song, I save the PANEL MEMORY 3BANK so I have the Panel Memory needed. I will check the page you suggested but as I write, it doesn’t sound that useful. I thought that doing a set in CUSTOM PANEL saved every Bank, the same way as if you save ALL PANEL MEMORIES on the SD Card. If I understand you correctly, you are saying that it saves only the one Panel Memory presently being used. Is this correct?
