Saving And Copying Patches Within He•Ory - bit MIDI MASTER KEYBOARD Owner's Manual

SAYING AND CDPYINS PATCHES
The control buttons in the lower section of the Keyboard Table on the
front panel all serve dual
purposes.
You already encountered the 3-
step Gener.al Transpose switch in an earlier section, and we also
~entioned
the general reset
function you get by pressing the TAPE
button twice; these are both also used for operations in Tape Node,
The other three buttons control operations on Patches: storing,
copying and exchanging Patch data both "ithin ~emory and in
conjunction with the cassette interface.
The operations we've described
90
far
have
altered para~eter .values
and constructed a new Patch configuration, This data is placed in a
temporary 'working storage area' in aemory; all changes will be lost
as soon as a new Patch is called up by entering a new Patch number. We
will now deal
with
the permanent storage of Patches in
the
me~ory of
the BIT
KASTER KEYBOARD. When storing
a
Patch at
a
particular location
in
memory,
you
should alHays
remember that the
original data at that
location will be over-writte~, i.e. lost.
In
an early section we mentioned the MEMORY PROTECT switch on the
back panel of the KASTER KEYBOARD: its function being to protect the
me~ory from accidental over-writing or erasure. To store a new or
changed Patch, the HEHORY PROTECT
switch
must
be in
the
"OFF•
position
l~emory not protected! - otherwise you can't writ• to the memory at
all!! We recommend returning the switch to the
•oN•
position
i•~ediately after storing
new data,
to prevent any nasty surprises!

Assuming that you are now finished with changing paraeeter values in
Patch 1 (which was our first exa11ple,

program•ed and stored in memory. Anyone
Hho
forgot to set the MEMORY
PROTECT button- to
naFFn
will be reminded
by
a "ProtEct" message in the
display!
You can also store this newly defined Patch at another location, if
you prefer, again using the COPY/LOAD button. (This also explains why
the display showed "1 to 1"
1
in case you'd wondered!) First press the
white button to activate the PATCH LED, Then the black COPY/LOAD
