The Live buffers

The special Live buf-
fers can be described
as a "live program
memory" . If you acti-
vate the Live button, all
changes to the panel
settings you make will
be continuously saved .
If you switch the power off, or select another program, the settings
are still stored in a Live memory, so when you power up next time (or
return to a Live memory) all settings will be exactly as they were when
you left them . The dot that appears when a Program is changed is not
applicable when a Live buffers is active
If a Live memory is selected and you decide you wish to store the
settings permanently as a program you can do so using the stan-
dard methods (see above) . You can also store programs into the Live
memory location, in which case the program settings will replace the
current Live memory settings .
