Write Timbre - Oberheim OB 12 Operating Manual

After making all the desired settings, you can use the WRITE TIMBRE procedure to save the
timbre you have edited in one of the 256 memory locations assigned to the Timbres. From any
Timbre environment video page, press the [WRITE] button in the MODE&SET-UP section of the
front panel, and the display will show:
The CURRENT LOCATION field displays the current memory location, and DESTINATION, the
one where the Timbre will be saved. By default, the two fields offer the same memory location: in
this case, if the memorisation procedure is concluded, the timbre will be overwritten with consequent
loss of the original settings.
Pressing the [F1] button or [WRITE] button will confirm the memorisation procedure, and the
display will show everything with the Pop-Up:
Conversely, if the [F4] button is pressed from the video page shown previously, you can assign a
new name to the Timbre; in this case, the display will show:
You can now use the encoder or number keypad to assign a new name to the Timbre displayed
in square brackets. As the screen-printing on the panel shows, each number pad button offers
three letters of the alphabet as well as the number associated to it. Moreover, the function keys
can be used to recall the following functions:
INS ([F1]) function: inserts a space before the character on which the cursor is located;
CAPS ON/OFF ([F2]) function: selects the type of character (uppercase / lowercase);
DELETE ([F3]) function: deletes the character on which the cursor is located;
After typing the name of your choice, press button [F4] (DONE function), and assignment of the
new name will be completed.
