OPERATION ORBAN MODEL 8600
To restore archived presets, system files, and automation files:
In addition to restoring an archived preset to its original Optimod, you can also copy
archived presets from one Optimod to another. The Optimod whose connection is
active will receive the preset.
If the preset, system file, or automation file was encrypted when it was
originally saved, PC Remote will request the password under which it was
encrypted.
All User Presets are compatible with all 8600 software versions and are compatible
with both 8600 and 8600FM. If Orban adds new controls to a software version, the
new software will assign a reasonable default value to any control missing in an old
User Preset. If you archive such a User Preset after restoring it, the newly written ar-
chive file will now include the new controls (with the default values, unless you edit
any of these values before you re-archive the preset).
•
If you load an archived 8600 preset file into an 8600FM, the 8600FM will ignore
all digital radio-specific parameters in the file.
•
If you load into an 8600 a User Preset that was originally archived from an
8600FM, the 8600 will usually apply the digital radio parameters that the User
Preset inherited from its source Factory Preset. The main exception is a User Pre-
set that originally created in an 8600, was then loaded into and modified by an
8600FM, and was finally loaded into an 8600 again. In this case, any HD settings
in the original 8600 User Preset are retained.
In addition, you can load archived preset files from OPTIMOD-FM 8400 and 8500.
The 8600 supports all 8400 and 8500 features. 8400 presets will sound very similar on
the 8600. (They will not sound 100% identical because the base sample rate of the
8400 is 32 kHz and the base sample rate of the 8500 and 8600 is 64 kHz.) 8500 pre-
sets will sound identical when running on the 8600.
