any

 

references

 

in

 

the

will

 

be

 

updated

 

to

 

match

 

the

 

new

 

bank.

 

For

 

instance,

 

let’s

 

say

 

that

 

you’re

 

loading

 

from

 

the

 

PCG’s

 

Bank

 

I

A

 

into

 

Bank

used

 

Programs

 

from

 

Bank

 

I

A,

 

they

 

will

 

be

 

updated

 

to

 

the

 

use

 

the

 

Programs’

 

new

 

locations

 

in

 

Bank

 

U

G.

 

The

 

same

 

is

 

true

 

for

 

any

 

Drum

 

Kits

 

or

 

Wave

 

Sequences

 

used

 

by

 

Programs.

If

 

you’re

 

loading

Loading multiple files at once

You

 

can

 

select

 

two

 

or

 

more

a

 

single

 

operation.

 

To

 

do

 

so:

1. Press

 

the

 

Multiple

 

Select

 

check

box

 

at

 

the

 

bottom

 

of

 

the

so

 

that

 

it’s

 

enabled.

This

 

can

 

be

 

handy

 

for

 

loading

 

multiple

 

sample

 

files

 

at

 

once,

 

importing

 

banks

 

of

 

DX

 

sounds,

 

and

 

so

 

on.

 

Multiple

 

Select

 

works

 

for

 

other

 

disk

 

operations

 

as

 

well,

 

including

 

Delete

 

(so

 

be

 

careful!).

Note

 

that

 

when

 

Multiple

 

Select

 

is

 

on,

 

you

 

can’t

 

change

 

to

 

a

 

different

 

directory.

 

When

 

you’re

 

done,

 

turn

 

it

 

off

 

again.

You

 

can

 

also

 

use

 

“wild

 

cards”

 

to

 

select

 

multiple

 

files.
