Oberheim OB-XA - Program Memory Management; Writing and Moving Programs

USING
THE
PROGRAMMER
/
WRITING
PROGRAMS
New,
modified,
or
even
existing
programs
can
be
written
into
the
OB-
Xa's
memory.
This
is
done
with
the
following
procedure:
1)
Press
and
hold
WRITE
and
wait
for
the
WRITE
light
to
come
on;
2)
Continue
to
hold
WRITE
and
select
a
GROUP
(A
thru
D,
or
any
combination)
3)
Continue
to
hold
WRITE
and
select
a
PROGRAM
(1
thru
8).
The
write
operation
actually
occurs
when
the
WRITE
switch
is
being
pressed
at
the
same
time
a
PROGRAM
switch
is
pressed,
with
the
WRITE
light
on.
Programming
SPLIT
combinations
will
be
discussed
later
in
this
manual.
** NOTE **
Programs
will
not
be
recorded
if
the
PROTECT
switch
inside
the
unit
is
on
(see
MEMORY
PROTECT
SWITCH,
page 25).
MOVING
PROGRAMS
Occasionally
it
may
be
desirable
to
move
a
complete
program
from
one
program
memory
location
to
another.
To
do
this,
simply
select
the
program
you
wish
to
move,
and
then
write
into
the
desired
new
program
location,
as
described
above.
