[amnesia]

HI all just got a card 2 meg for the A6.....
i have pressed STORE and turned soft button 1 to initialise,then it says
CARD IS NOT WRITE PROTECTED 6 PROGRAM BANKS 4 MIx BANKS....

does that mean that it is initialised?

[amnesia]

bugger i just wrote over oneof my sounds i need advice how to save the USER1 bank to the card pleeeez

ok i worked it out, not sure how i did it but its on the card....

what i have done now is initialised the user bank, so how do i get the original user bank back, only via sysex?

Excellent thanks for your help- HrastProgrammer , now I can not wipe out any more user sounds, and start having fun with the cards.

p.s I checked out your music and really like it, great!

Thanks!

BTW, on the "STORE" screen, you can select destination bank/program number using soft knobs 1 & 2, as well, although I prefer to use bank and program group/number buttons, much more convenient to me.

Also, you can copy the whole USER bank to the card ... select "COPY" page, select "PRG BANK" for "TYPE", "USER" for "SRCBNK", appropriate CARD bank for "DSTBNK" and press "STORE".

If that's not enough, you can even rewrite PRESET banks (which reside in Flash memory) with USER bank, just select "PRESET 1" or "PRESET 2" for "DSTBNK" ... I haven't tried this, so this is just "according to the manual".

So, there is plenty of patch locations inside Andromeda, especially if you have 2 MB RAM card ... 2x (rewritable) PRESET banks + 1x USER bank + 8x CARD banks = 11 banks x 128 patches = 1408 patches in total
