SP4 V2 Addendum

Global Mode

The “Load (overwrite)” Dialogue

The

 

“Load

 

(overwrite)”

 

dialogue

 

is

 

new

 

in

 

the

 

V2

 

OS,

 

and

 

replaces

 

the

 

“Load

 

All?”

 

dialogue

 

from

 

the

 

V1

 

OS.

 

The

 

“Load

 

(overwrite)”

 

dialogue

 

has

 

the

 

same

 

function

 

as

 

the

 

“Load

 

All?”

 

dialogue

 

from

 

the

 

V1

 

OS.

 

Use

 

the

 

“Load

 

(overwrite)”

 

dialogue

 

to

 

load

 

previously

 

saved

 

SP4

 

User

bank

 

programs

 

and

 

setups

 

from

 

an

 

.SPX

 

file.

 

The

 

“Load

 

(overwrite)”

 

dialogue

 

deletes

 

all

 

User

bank

 

programs

 

and

 

setups

 

in

 

the

 

SP4

 

and

 

replaces

 

them

 

with

 

the

 

User

bank

 

programs

 

and

 

setups

 

from

 

the

 

.SPX

 

file

 

you

 

are

 

loading.

 

Files

 

can

 

be

 

loaded

 

to

 

the

 

SP4

 

from

 

a

 

computer

 

via

 

USB.

Note:

 

The

 

“Load

 

(overwrite)”

 

dialogue

 

deletes

 

all

 

User

bank

 

programs

 

and

 

setups

 

in

 

the

 

SP4.

 

Before

 

using

 

the

 

“Load

 

(overwrite)”

 

dialogue,

 

make

 

sure

 

to

 

save

 

a

 

backup

 

copy

 

of

 

any

 

User

bank

 

programs

 

and

 

setups

 

in

 

the

 

SP4

 

that

 

you

 

would

 

like

 

to

 

save

 

using

 

the

 

“Save

 

All”

 

dialogue

 

(see
