Hi, The first 120 memorized tunings are in the IV's memory. The problem is getting memorized tunings into the extended memory. There is space for several more hundred but the problem is in getting them there. You cannot enter the extended memory except by entering them in the computer in the librarian program FIRST. It is hard to explain unless you own a IV.
