It it possible to rename and delete projects while in the CHANGE menu. Press [FUNC] + [BANK] to open
a menu where rename and delete options are present.
SAVE saves the project. As all changes to a project are automatically cached on card, saving a project
and then reloading it is the only way to return to a specific project state. In general you should save a
project once you are satisfied with it. When performing a SAVE command the project will be synced to
card as well. You can also press [FUNC] + [PROJ] to quick save the project.
RELOAD reloads the project to the state it was saved in.
SYNC TO CARD is a recommended operation before ejecting the Compact Flash card as it will sync the
cache to the card. Removing the card without first card syncing the project might result in data losses.
If a project has been saved using the project SAVE command, information about the saved state will be
written to the card as well.
Removing the card without first card syncing the project might result in data losses.
SAVE TO NEW saves a copy of the active project under a new name. After selecting this option a naming
window will appear. If the currently mounted set contains no projects it is advised to save the current
settings and sample assignments to a new project.
EXPORT TO SET allows the currently active project to be exported to a dierent set. All samples located
in the Flex and Static sample slot lists of the active project will be copied to the destination set. Samples
located in the project folder will be copied to the new project folder and samples located in the audio
pool will be copied to the audio pool of the destination set. Note that the active project will be saved, just
as if a project SAVE command had been performed, prior to being exported to the new set. It is possible
to export a project to a new, empty set which can be created in the export process. This will create a set
containing only the exported project together with an audio pool stripped of unnecessary samples. To
make sure the audio pool of the new set only contains samples actually being used by the project, the
PURGE SAMPLES command can be used on the project prior to export.
SET CHANGE will change sets. For more information, please see “7. SETS” on page 26.
COLLECT SAMPLES copies samples that are used by the currently active project into the project direc-
tory, which will eectively disconnect the project from the audio pool.
PURGE SAMPLES will remove all unused samples from the project. Note that samples are only removed
from the Flex and Static sample slot lists of the project; the actual samples will not be deleted from the
audio pool.
SAVE CURRENT BANK works like the save project command, but on a per bank basis. The command
will save the settings and assignments of the currently active bank.
RELOAD CURRENT BANK works like the reload project command, but on a per bank basis. The com-
mand will revert the currently active bank to the previously saved state.
