To back up your TR-8S data, ensure you have an SD card (sold separately) formatted using the TR-8S itself. For formatting instructions, refer to the related articles: “The message 'SDCard NotReady!' appears when I try to use the SD card”.
Please note that the backup will not include any Patterns or Kits currently being edited, nor any unsaved system settings. Therefore, perform the WRITE operation on the TR-8S to save these settings before initiating the backup.
