Saving a Program
If you’ve created a sound that you like, you’ll probably want to save it.
Saving a program overwrites a previously saved program. Sound design-
ers often save many incremental versions of a program as they continue
to refine it. These intermediate versions often make good jumping off
points for new sounds.
To save a program to the same preset location:
1. Press the
write
button. Its LED begins blinking.
2. Press a
program
selector
button (0-9) to specify the “ones” digit of the
program.
3. The
write
button LED stops blinking and the program is saved.
Be careful when
write
is enabled. You can change banks and tens without
executing
write
, but once you press a
program
selector
button (0-9) for the “ones”
digit, the
write
command is executed and the program at that location is overwritten.
To save a program to a different bank location:
1. Press the
write
button. Its LED begins blinking.
2. Hold down the
bank
button then press a
program
selector
button to
specify the “hundreds” bank of the program. You can only save to
Banks 0-4.
3. Hold down the
tens
button then press a
program
selector
button (0-9)
to specify the “tens” digit of the program.
4. Press a
program
selector
button (0-9) to specify the “ones” digit of the
program.
5. The
write
button LED stops blinking and the program is saved.
