SPECTRALIS 2
Spectralis.ini - holds system settings of the Spectralis.
SpectralisXXX.cod - Firmware files for firmware updates.
From time to time you should delete former versions of the firmware
files. Three of these files are eating 1 MB of your Flash Memory.
default.spt - Default pattern settings
This file is a default pattern. If you delete a pattern or when you start
your pattern programming with an empty pattern, the sound- and motif-
data will be read from this default pattern. All the basic work you normally
have to do like selecting sounds or samples for the parts, setting measure-
formats and defining the pattern length can be preprogrammed in this
default pattern. You may want to overwrite the existing pattern with your
customized version. Just select an empty pattern, change your settings
and safe the empty pattern as current. Hook the Spectralis up to the
computer, copy the file to the computers harddisk and rename the pattern
to default.spt. After that simply copy the renamed file to the root directory
of the flash rom.
anyname.SFI - Spectralis-Flash-Image
The *.SFI files are backup files. They are normally used to restore the
factory sounds, samples and patterns but may will be used in the future
as well for updates, containing samples, songs and sounds. These files
should be saved on smartmedia-cards only. During the image restore
operation, the internal flash memory will be formatted. Make sure to
backup all your own data, before starting the image restoring! You may
have received a Smartmedia-Card from the service department with a
valid image file or you received a image file on a CDR. Also the CDR,
that ships with the Spectralis contains such a image file to give you the
opportunity to reset the machine to the factory defaults.
8.2 Restoring the factory patterns, songs, sounds and samples

Spectralis. Please follow the step by step instruction below:

File by pushing the rotary encoder button [Slot1] or [Slot2]
