What is User, Preset, Internal and Temporary memory?
There are three types of memory in JV/XP synths. Preset, User and Temporary memory. Preset memory: is in ROM and cannot be changed. Preset patches, performances and rhythm kits are stored into the synth’s memory in the factory. These patches, performances and rhythm kits can never be lost. Presets can be identified by their prefix. On 6A Family synths they are prefixed with PR-A, PR-B, PR-C, GM, (and PR-E on JV-2080), XP-A, XP-B, XP-C, XP-D (and XP-E, XP-F, XP-G, XP-H on JV-2080). On 46 Family synths they are prefixed with A, B or D. User memory: is in RAM and can be changed. The User memory on the 46 Family synths is refered to as Internal memory. Roland changed this to User memory in their later synths. To prevent confusion this FAQ only refers to User memory. The User patches, performances and rhythm kits on 6A Family synths are prefixed with USER. On the 46 Family they are prefixed with I (internal). The User memory is where you can store your own settings, or you can load in patch
