Loading a Dreadbox Erebus V3 program

The panel loads and saves the program parameters as a 1500 bytes sysex file (.syx) from/to your
computer.

Clicking the

Load

button opens a classical Open file dialog where you can select the file to load. An

internal check is done to verify that the file is compatible with the Dreadbox Erebus V3 panel. The
parameters are loaded, the top screen is showing the name of the file, the author and the saved date
and a confirmation dialog is shown.
