Okay. Next question. I'm only using the Tx7 as a studio synth. If I keep all the patches stored on my computer and just dumped them into the unit as I needed and not careing as to wether they are gone when I turn the Tx7 back on again durring the next session, would I even have to bother with the battery replacement ? Does the unit become unusable when the battery goes or can I use it and it just won't keep user patches in memory after it's shut off ? This would not be a problem for me as I use a computer librarian full of patches for it. You will have to forgive me for asking so many questions as I am VERY new to this unit.
