Memory Structure

The following diagram shows the structure of the internal memory within your CP5 or CP50 and illustrates how data is
exchanged with external devices.

*1: The Bulk Dump function can be used only with data currently being edited in the Edit Buffer.
*2: User Performance memory banks reside in the instrument's flash ROM; External Performance memories are loaded into the internal DRAM.
*3: Both User Performance memories and External Performance memories are displayed here in the form of a single block.
 Flash ROM
As its name suggests, Read Only Memory (ROM) is a type of memory designed specifically for reading of data, and as
such, it cannot usually be written to. Flash ROM differs from the conventional type in that it can be overwritten — allowing
you to store and delete data. Furthermore, the content of flash ROM is maintained even when the power is turned off.
 DRAM
The term Random Access Memory (RAM) is used to describe memory designed for both reading and writing of data.
RAM is categorized into two different types based on the way in which content is stored — namely, static RAM (SRAM)
and dynamic RAM (DRAM). It is the latter type that is used for the Edit Buffer in your CP5 or CP50. As the data stored in
DRAM is lost whenever the power is turned off, any important content should be transferred to flash ROM (i.e., User
Memory) before doing so.
 Edit Buffer & User Memory
The name Edit Buffer is given to an area of memory used to edit a single Performance or system setting. As this memory
area is non-permanent, its content must be stored in User Memory if it is to be reused. Furthermore, whenever a new
Performance is selected, the entire content of the Edit Buffer will be overwritten with its data. It is important, therefore, that
any Performance in the Edit Buffer be stored as soon as you are happy with it.
