TM-6 PRO Returning to the factory settings

Returning the entire TM-6 PRO, including user samples, to its factory-default state
This contains the data for returning the entire TM-6 PRO, including user samples, to its factory defaults.

Important Note
* Executing the procedure in "Returning the entire TM-6 PRO, including user samples, to its factory-default state" overwrites all data in the TM-6 PRO. Before you start, save important data to an SD card other than the SD card you're returning to the factory-default state.

Returning an entire single kit, including user samples, to its factory-default state
This is kit data (01 --- 80) that is included in the TM-6 PRO when the unit is shipped from the factory.
You can import kits into the TM-6 PRO one by one. Importing to a specified kit number is also possible.

This kit data also includes user sample data used by the respective individual kits.
When you want to restore a kit, including the user sample data, to its factory defaults, using this kit data returns the entire kit to its original state.
You use this at times such as when user samples preloaded by default have been inadvertently deleted.
