Mike, You can save your edited sound in the PT5 by pressing the edit button again after modifying the sound and then select the bank, and then the sound number within the bank. e.g. press "edit" Modify sound press "edit" again Press bank #2 press sound #1 This will save your edited sound to the user defined sound of 2,1. You can determine if the sounds that you are listening to are user defined or factory by pushing the "factory" button. When the period lights are on, it is in factory.
