replaced with that of the source ile. 

If you select All in the destination bank drop down, you can replace all 
the sounds in a partition with those on a folder structure on the hard

of a structure as the parent of the source iles.

partition with its 120 programs.

sounds will trade places.

board. If you now drag this selection, the Program will be copied 
and pasted at the destination instead of just being moved.
