Protect your current sound

Never wipe storage or install another firmware to recover an unsaved patch. Live reading requires ETCH V1.77 or newer with the ETCH RAM Snapshot protocol. V1.76 does not provide this protocol and cannot be read by this app.

Imports audition in RAM only. They do not persist after power-off until a separate, verified on-device SAVE succeeds.
