Version OS 1.0
If there is no readable file on the selected index number, the display shows:
Load Sequence from File
Not found _3__Load=Ent
Note that the Alpha Base keeps the index number for the next page - Save Sequence to
File. So if you want to create a new sequence file, scroll here for an available index
number, shown as Not Found_X__
But If you want to load a specific sequence file, select it and then go right with the
cursor.
Load Sequence from File
ABSQOOO2.BIN____Load=Ent
Now press and click (Data) or (Enter) and the contents of the sequence file is read to
the edit buffer RAM.
Load Sequence from File
Sequence file loaded=Ent
One sequence file contains all 64 patterns - 16 patterns x 4 banks - with all the
automation data like pitch sequence and p-locks (not preset/sound data).
Once you have loaded a sequence file, the data is only in the RAM buffer. You can
immediately recall and edit the new patterns, but keep in mind that after power-off they
will be gone unless you store them into flash memory with (shift 3) - or store them
altogether as sequence file to the SD card. This might be welcome if you want to
extend your pattern capacity.
The file structure of the internal data is straightforward binary. You can theoretically
process the sequence file on a computer and store or archive them.
9.7 Save Sequence to File
Go right with the cursor and you enter this page:
Save Sequence to File
Save=Ent
If you press and click (Data) or (Enter), you save the whole RAM pattern buffer as a
file to the SD card. Note that the Alpha Base in this OS verison can write files only to
the root directory. The Alpha Base takes the same index number that was selected in
the former page – Load Sequence from File. If the file exists, the old is erased first and
