Projects¶
A project is a complete musical workspace on the PGB-1. It contains everything needed to recreate your song or performance.
What’s Inside a Project¶

When you power on the PGB-1, you’re always working inside a project. Changes you make (adding notes, adjusting synth parameters, recording samples) happen in the current project.
The current project is automatically saved when powering off, or entering update mode.
Data Loss
The PGB-1 does not auto-save until you power off. If the battery runs low, the device will shutdown without saving your current project. Remember to save your project regularly (see below), especially when the battery is low.
