Chapter 9: MIDI Transfer and Storage Operations
Storing an Individual Program or Mix to an External
Card
You also have the option of storing a Mix or Program directly to a specific location in
a RAM Sound Card Bank (instead of transferring the entire Bank) and vice versa.
However, the Sound Card you are storing to must be of the current S4 Plus Bank
format. A Sound Card is formatted whenever an entire S4 Plus Bank is stored onto it.
If you are using an older Sound Card that does not use the current Bank format, you
will not be able to store individual Mixes or Programs onto until you store an entire S4
Bank onto it first.
¿
Insert a card into the Sound Card slot on the back of the S4 Plus.
¡
Select the Program or Mix you wish to transfer to the card.
¬
Press [STORE].
÷
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
Use Quad Knob [2] to select a location in the selected card Bank to save to (00–
127 if storing a Program; 00–99 if storing a Mix).
ª
Press [STORE] to transfer the data from the S4 Plus onto the card.
If the card is write-protected, or not inserted, or not of the current Bank format, the
display will indicate the situation with an error message. If the card is not of the
current Bank format, use the "Save To Card" command first (Store Mode, Page 5) to
save the entire User Bank to the card. This however will erase all Programs and
Mixes in the selected card Bank. If these are important to you, first load them into the
User Bank in the S4, and then save them back onto the card in order to re-format the
card using the new format.
Loading an Individual Program or Mix from an
External Card
You can load a single Mix or Program from a Sound Card into the User Bank, instead
of having to load the entire Bank from the Sound Card. To do this, select the Mix or
Program in the Sound Card Bank that you wish to copy, then use the Store Function
(as described above) to designate a location you wish to store to in the User Bank.
Note: When storing a Mix from a Sound Card into the User Bank, the individual
Programs used by the Mix will not be moved into the User Program Bank. Once you
store a Mix from a Sound Card into the User Bank, it will still look for its Programs in
the Sound Card Bank, if that is where it was programmed to look for them in the first
place (which is almost always the case).
