Program Load, Save, Delete, Etc.
"...the H8000FW is like a jungle gym for sine waves..."

Programs are the "algorithms" used by the DSPs to process signals. Programs are stored
in the H8000FW in the same way that files are stored on your computer’s hard drive.
Instead of using a hard drive, however, the H8000FW uses RAM memory, either
internally or on a card. The load times are much faster and the unit is more durable and
quieter than it would be were a hard drive to be used.
When you want to use one of the H8000FW’s programs, you "load" it. When using both
DSPs, there are two programs that are "loaded" (or "running") on the H8000FW: one on
DSP A and the other on DSP B. (Of course, if you want to, you can run the same
program on both DSPs. There will be two "instances" of that program running, and the
parameter values set for one will not affect those of the other.)
All of the "non-
monolithic" programs in memory are available to either DSP (except for "large sampler
programs" and some "long delay" programs - these can only be loaded on DSP A)
.
"Monolithic" programs use the resources of both DSPs. As such, only one monolithic
program can run at a time, and it uses the routing configuration of DSP A.
You can save a program that is running in two ways:
The first is to use
Save
- you won’t overwrite the old version of the program.
The second way to save a program is to
<update>
it - this performs a "one-click" write to
User (internal) Memory.
Of course, you can delete a program from memory if you wish (you will quickly find out
that you cannot delete the presets that came with the H8000FW)
.
Categorizing Programs
The H8000FW comes with over one thousand factory programs, on top of any that you
may save to User Memory or Memory Card. Many hundreds - and each one is unique! To
help make finding a useful program for a given situation easy, each program is categorized
in several different ways. These categories form a powerful "database" which is one of the
key features of the H8000FW. We discuss the different ways to quickly locate the right
effect for your application below and recommend that you make an effort to understand
this section fully - the time taken will be well spent.
