EDITING & WRITING PERFORMANCES
Writing Performances into Memory
Writing Performances is a destructive operation. It is strongly advised to make back-ups of your data occasionally to a Computer,
Sequencer or Data filing device. Factory sounds can be recalled from ROM see page 40 for details
Once a Performance has been created, you can store the Performance in any of the 128 Performances. To do so press the Write
button. The display shows:
As can be seen the top line of the display shows the current Performance location & the Performances destination. The bottom line
displays the Performances name, in this case Blaster Master!
While in this mode it is possible to change the destination of the new sound using the Prog Up & Prog Down buttons. For example,
pressing the Prog Up button or turning the higher Fast data knob in the above example the display will show:
As can be seen the destination of the Performance to be written is now A001.
While in this mode the Compare button has a different function to its normal operation. The Compare button in this mode toggles
between the currently edited Performance & the destination Performance. The “Performance” button will flash & the Compare but-
ton will be lit when this function is active.
Once the destination for the Performance has been decided press the Write button again & the display shows:
The name of the Performance can be altered when in this mode. As can be seen in the display the first character of the
Performances name has a cursor under it. Using the higher Fast Data knob you can scroll through the character set for that char-
acter. Using the lower Fast Data knob or nudge buttons you can move the cursor horizontally.
Pressing the Page Up button while in this mode inserts a space at the cursor position & pressing Page Down while in this mode
deletes the character to the right of the cursor.
