Saving The Global Settings To Memory; Upgrading The Operating System From Midi - Novation X-Station User Manual

ADVANCED FEATURES

Saving The Global Settings To Memory

Once any of the Global settings have been altered in Global Mode,
they may be written to a special area of X-Station memory for instant
recall the next time the X-Station is switched on.
The Global write procedure is invoked by pressing the WRITE button
while in Global Mode. If the Memory Protect switch is set On, the fol-
lowing screen is displayed :
MEMORY PROTECTED
And the write procedure is halted. After about half a second, the X-
Station resumes in Play Mode. It will be necessary to set the Memory
Protect switch to Off before the X-Station's memory can be over-writ-
ten. This is described on page 25.
Otherwise, pressing the WRITE button will write all Global settings to
memory. The display will show :
GLOBALS SAVED
And around half a second later, the X-Station will return to the previous-
ly displayed page in Global Mode.
Note : When the Global settings are written to memory, the template
number of the currently selected Template is also stored. The next time
the X-Station is powered on, this Template will immediately be selected
in Play Mode.

the X-Station while simultaneously holding down the PHANTOM,
INPUT and STEREO buttons. Send the operating system file from the
Novation OS update utility.

operating system (for example to directly update another connected X-
Station by powering up the X-Station while simultaneously holding
down the INPUT, STEREO and TEMPLATE COMMON BUTTONS but-
