Saving the User Bank to an External Card
The entire contents of the S4 Plus's User memory (100 Mixes, 128 Programs, 128
Effects Patches) can be stored to an Alesis QuadraCard RAM card inserted into the
Sound Card slot on the S4 Plus. Depending on the amount of RAM a particular card
has, up to 8 complete banks can be stored onto it. The QuadraCard is a type of
PCMCIA SRAM or FlashRAM card; it has 256K of memory and will store 4 complete
banks. A 512K PCMCIA card can store 8 banks. When saving data to a card that
contains a ROM (READ-ONLY) bank, it will be in bank 1; this means you cannot save
anything into bank 1.
¿
Insert a card into the Sound Card slot on the back of the S4 Plus.
¡
Press [STORE].
¬
Use either PAGE [¨] or [Æ] to select Page 6 of the Store function.
This selects the "SAVE TO CARD" option.
÷
Use Quad Knob [1] to select a bank location on the card to store to (1–8).
If the card contains a ROM bank, it will be bank 1. Therefore, you will only be
able to save into bank locations 2–8.
ƒ
Press [STORE] to transfer the data from the S4 Plus onto the card.
If the display reads "CARD IS WRITE PROTECTED", switch the write-protect switch
on the card to off and repeat the procedure.
