Handling Names in Card Banks
This picture shows the Bank buttons for a device with three Card Banks.
The Studio Module does not directly support Patches on Cards, for good reasons. Many devices cannot perform MIDI dumps of data on cards, and even if they can, many cards are of the Read Only (ROM) type, you cannot change the data in them anyway.
However, you will often want to “select” Patches on Cards, and the Studio Module supports this, via its name handling.
Creating a Bank of Card Names
If you have Patches on a Memory Card and would like to get their names into the Patch Manager window, proceed as follows:
1. Use the Data Dump window, to make a safety copy of the device’s Patches in internal memory. Save the Bank to disk.
2. Copy the Patches that are on the card into the device's internal memory (the operation manual that came with the device will tell you how to do this).
3. Open the Data Dump window and get the Patches that are now in internal memory in the device, into the Main Bank in the Patch Manager.
4. Pull down the pop-up Functions menu in the Patch Manager and select "Save Names...". In the file selector that appears, type in a file name and save to disk.
5. Select the Card Bank by clicking on the Card button in the Patch manager window (if your device can handle several cards there will be one button for each card). 6. Select "Load Names" on the pop-up Function menu. In the File Selector that appears, located the name file you just created and load it into the Card Bank. 7. Use the Data Dump window to Open the original Patches in the Main Bank that you backed up at the beginning of this procedure, and send them out to the device. 8. Make sure selecting Patches in the Card Bank in Patch Manager works as expected. 9. Use "Save..." on the pop-up Functions menu to save to disk. This will create one file containing “all Patches and names for all Banks”.
If you have Card names in memory together with data for a certain data type and save the bank to disk, the card names are also saved. Next time you load the Bank, the Card names are retrieved together with the data.
Erase Card Names
This function, on the pop-up Functions menu, is used to clear all names in a Card Bank window.
