Hi Derek,
1. How can this be done? - see pages 68 - 73 of your user manual.
2. Is it easy? - fairly, after some experimentation.
3. Will it be permanently saved? - The User Performance Pad data is only retained for a short time after switching off, however, you can include the 'Performance Pad' option in Page 2 of the 'Save to SD' operation and then re-call the User Pads as required.
