MIDI Transfer and Storage Operations: Chapter 9
QuadraSynth Plus Piano Reference Manual 173
Storing an Individual Program or Mix to an
External Card
You also have the option of storing a Mix or Program directly to a specific
location in a RAM Sound Card Bank (instead of transferring the entire Bank) and
vice versa. However, the Sound Card you are storing to must be of the current
QuadraSynth Plus Bank format. A Sound Card is formatted whenever an entire
QuadraSynth Plus Bank is stored onto it. If you are using an older Sound Card
that does not use the current Bank format, you will not be able to store individual
Mixes or Programs onto until you store an entire QuadraSynth Bank onto it first.
¿ Insert a card into the Sound Card slot on the back of the QuadraSynth
Plus.
¡ Select the Program or Mix you wish to transfer to the card.
¬ Press [STORE].
Use Quad Knob [1] to select a bank location on the card to store to (1–8).
If the card contains a ROM bank, it will be bank 1. Therefore, you will only be able to
save into bank locations 2–8.
ƒ Use Quad Knob [2] to select a location in the selected card Bank to save
to (00–127 if storing a Program; 00–99 if storing a Mix).
H Press [STORE] to transfer the data from the QuadraSynth Plus onto the
card.
If the card is write-protected, or not inserted, or not of the current Bank format,
the display will indicate the situation with an error message. If the card is not of
the current Bank format, use the “Save To Card” command first (Store Mode,
Page 5) to save the entire User Bank to the card. This however will erase all
Programs and Mixes in the selected card Bank. If these are important to you, first
load them into the User Bank in the QuadraSynth, and then save them back onto
the card in order to re-format the card using the new format.
Loading an Individual Program or Mix from an
External Card
You can load a single Mix or Program from a Sound Card into the User Bank,
instead of having to load the entire Bank from the Sound Card. To do this, select
the Mix or Program in the Sound Card Bank that you wish to copy, then use the
Store Function (as described above) to designate a location you wish to store to
in the User Bank.
Note: When storing a Mix from a Sound Card into the User Bank, the individual
Programs used by the Mix will not be moved into the User Program Bank. Once
you store a Mix from a Sound Card into the User Bank, it will still look for its
Programs in the Sound Card Bank, if that is where it was programmed to look
for them in the first place (which is almost always the case).
