Oh don't worry,
I always have my patches backed up! :-)
(Tip for this,
if it's never occured to you before -
I do this with all my old synths that have a cassette
interface for saving data:
Save the data direct to your PC's soundcard,
and burn the resulting WAV files onto an audio CD...
...(a re-writable CD is even handier, as you can
re-use it perioidically when you've new sounds to save...)
this gives the advantage of
(a) your patches pretty much ALWAYS load back in
successfully (unlike bloody cassette tape!)
(b) you can skip to the track on the CD with the data
you want with ease, rather than messing around with
a Fast Forward/Rewind on a cassette, trying to find
the one you want.
