play a live performance and you want memories 1-32 to
contain the voices you plan to play in numerical order.
This can be done either in the internal memory or in
the RAM cartridge memory Its best to have at least 1
"blank" or unwanted voice which you can erase when
doing this. If you need all 32 voices, but simply in a dif-
ferent order, make a copy of them (either by saving from
internal to RAM cartridge, or loading from RAM car-
tridge to internal, as appropriate).
1. Determine whether you want to work with the RAM
cartridge or internal memory and turn off the corre-
sponding sofware memory protection by pressing
[MEMORY PROTECT-INTERNAL] or [MEM-
ORY PROTECT-CARTRIDGE] and then pressing
[OFF]. If you're working with the RAM cartridge,
also be sure its hardware memory protect switch is
OFF.
2. Select a voice you wish to move by pressing [MEM-
ORY SELECT-INTERNAL] or [MEMORY
SELECT-CARTRIDGE], and then the appropriate
voice selector button, from [1] to [32].
3a. Assuming you want to move the voice into a differ-
ent position within the same memory area (internal
or RAM cartridge) from which you selected it, press
and hold [STORE]. Then press the voice selector
button corresponding to the memory location into
which you wish to move the voice. THIS NEW
LOCATION SHOULD BE BLANK, OR ONE YOU
DONT MIND ERASING, UNLESS YOU HAVE
ALREADY MADE A COPY OF ALL 32 VOICES AS
DESCRIBED PREVIOUSLY.
The voice has now been stored in the new location.
(It still exists in its original location.) Now you can
release the [STORE] button, press the voice selector
of the next voice you want to move, and then press
[STORE] and the voice selector of the memory in
which you wish to store this voice.
3b. If you want to move the voice into the same or a dif-
ferent position within the other memory area (i.e.,
from RAM cartridge memory 6 to internal memory
2), the procedure is similar. You have already pressed
[MEMORY SELECT-CARTRIDGE] and [6] to
select RAM cartridge voice number 6. To assign this
to internal memory 2, press [MEMORY SELECT-
INTERNAL], then press and hold [STORE] while
you press voice selector [2]. (If you want to move
from an internal location to a RAM cartridge loca-
tion, substitute the opposite [MEMORY SELECT]
buttons for those in this example.)
To move the next voice from a RAM cartridge to an
internal location, repeat Step 2 and Step 3b.
4. The process can be continued, selecting a voice and
moving it to a new location. As you can see, its like
one of the puzzles where you have 15 numbered
squares and 1 blank space, and you have to rear-
range the squares in numerical order — you always
have to use at least one memory location as the
"blank" square so you can shuttle the others around.
That's why we suggest making a copy of all 32 voices
if you plan to move them around within the internal
or cartridge memory. Once you've done most of the
rearranging, you can go to the copied voices and
transfer the "erased" voices back where you want
them using the procedure in Step 3b above.
5. As always, when you have completed the operation,
turn the memory protection back ON.
NOTE: If a "FORMAT CONFLICT "ID CONFLICT
or "READ PROTECT message is displayed during a
STORE or SAVE operation using a RAM cartridge, it
means the cartridge must be formatted. For details,
please refer to the CARTRIDGE FORMATTING sec-
tion on page 9.
