● Select Directory: Specifies the location that the editor uses for loading and saving
program files.
● Load Program from File to Editor: Loads a program from your computer into the FI
editor.
The program file format of FI 3.0 is much more advanced than that of previous
versions. The FI v3 editor can load program files that were created with an earlier
editor, but will convert these to the new format when saving.
● Save Program f rom Editor to File: Saves an edited program to your computer.
You can save a program to your computer using any name u p to 32 characters in
length , but in order to write a program to the FI, the name m ust begin with a two-digit
prefix between 01 and 99. This prefix determines the slot on the FI to which the

select one sound program and write it to the FI.
Remember, the program must have a two-digit number at the beginning of its name.
If it does not, first L oad the program into the editor and then S ave it with a two-digit
prefix added to its name.
Note: Whilst the W rite Program from File to FI command appears to work even if
you only have one cable connecting the computer to the FI, the editor will not receive
confirmation of the writing action and an error message will appear; b oth cables must
be used.
● Write All Programs from Files to FI: Writes all programs from your selected
directory to the FI in a single run.
When you use this option you must have a bi-directional connection between the FI
and the computer, otherwise an error will occur after writing the first program.
If the directory contains two or more files that have the same two-digit prefix then the
editor will generate an error message and the write process will not be possible until
you have removed the duplicates.
If the directory contains gaps, i.e. if
any of the two-digit prefixes
between 01 and 99 are not included
in program file names, then the
editor will present you with two
