To Save A User Preset You Have Created; To Back Up User Presets, System Files, And Automation Files Onto Your Computer's Hard Drive - Orban Optimod-FM 8300 Operating Manual

OPTIMOD-FM DIGITAL
The folder on your hard drive containing the preset files (both Factory
and User) is automatically synchronized to the contents of its associated
8300's memory each time 8300 PC Remote connects to that 8300. The
8300's memory is the "master." This means that if you delete a user pre-
set from the 8300's memory (whether locally via its front panel or via
8300 PC Remote), 8300 PC Remote will automatically erase this preset
from this folder on your computer. To archive a preset permanently, you
must use the Backup function. (See page 3- 65.)

To save a user preset you have created:

A) Select S

your computer's hard drive:

B) Click OK.
PC Remote will offer three options:
 Save User Presets, system files, and automation in plain text.
This allows the presets and files to be read with any text editor program
and to be readily exchanged between Optimod users.
 Save User Presets, system files, and automation files using the session pass-
code to encrypt them.
 Save User Presets, system files, and automation files using the password of
your choice to encrypt them.
The encryption options prevent archived presets, system files, and auto-
mation files from being restored if the user does not have the password
used for the encryption. There is no "back door"— Orban cannot help
you to decrypt a preset whose password is unknown.
All User Preset, system, and automation files are copied from your Opti-
mod's internal memory to a folder called "backup" on your PC. This
folder is a subfolder of the folder named the same as the alias of the Op-
timod that you are backing up.
This folder name ("backup") and location are hard-coded into the soft-
ware. If you wish to move the backup files somewhere else later, use a
file manager (like Explorer) on your computer.
