the point of a large card is audio, I have 150 karaoke compact disk audio tracks on a 512 card to play along with a real orchestra. With 999 audio tracks available on an SD card requiring somewhere over 3GB space, 1G is obviously not enough for the max possible potential of audio play.
The 99x20 Technics file load is equivalent to 19,800 songs at 10 to a sequencer, in addition to 5,940 composer style loads, or alternatively in addition to 39,600 custom style loads, but is still not the whole story since add in midi files and a card can hold 20,799 songs, and you could fill the single custom folder to increase the potential custom swap by many hundreds of styles, let alone fill the imexport folder with midis and swap midi files from the pool on one card to increase the 999 potentially playable. For Technics and midi only you would probably only need a 256 for around maximum use.
Roger, everything in memory can be saved whether custom or composer and therefore restored after loading something else. If a custom style could not be restored then it was just saved incorrectly before the new custom was loaded.
Bill, my experience on save is the opposite, a performance save from initial takes longer on a 90% full 8MB card than it does on a 60% full 256MB card, albeit a mini-sd in adaptor, so it depends on the card.

Roger, say you want to do a performance save, SD, save, technics, position, page 2, custom, switch yes. Then the entire custom is saved with any sequencer contents or panel memories used with any custom style. If someone alters the custom it can be restored same as before, just as any combination of sections on the page 2 save.
For imexport, read the sd tools section on page 45, export a midi and the folder is automatically created, fill it with midis in a card reader and then import them in the same menu.

Well Audrey, I hope the answers didn't create more confusion about the SD card, and sometimes I'm just amazed that Alec can seem to find out how all this stuff works in such a short time span! Luckily for us, his curiosity saves the day for many of us that end up lost at sea with the new technology. I suppose one just has to find which method works best when using the SD card, like custom save works for me. I find it is fast and efficient since the way I load the files is the same sequence that I used for the original archive files. Music style, manufacturer, tempo, and location index. If I needed a Latin salsa rhythm at 120 tempo by Roland, I can locate the style in a few seconds using my archive notebook and the SD card. A few more seconds to load the custom banks and I have the needed style plus 14 to 19 others that are the same tempo or very close to what I want. It makes style selection fast and easy, but then, I'm not playing before a live impatient audience, either. Pick what works best for you, and learn everything you can about it, until you can do it in your sleep. Same goes for the rest of the keyboard features - learn what you need to learn to do the things you want to do - and leave the rest for Alec. ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/biggrin.gif)
