The folder on your hard drive containing the preset files (both Factory
and User) is automatically synchronized to the contents of its associated
8600’s memory each time 8600 PC Remote connects to that 8600. The
8600’s memory is the “master.” This means that if you delete a user pre-
set from the 8600’s memory (whether locally via its front panel or via
8600 PC Remote), 8600 PC Remote will automatically erase this preset
from this folder on your computer.
To archive a preset permanently, you
must use the Backup function. (See page 3- 90.)

This allows the presets and files to be read with any text editor program
and to be readily exchanged between Optimod users.
•
Save backup files using the session passcode to encrypt them.
•
Save backup files using the password of your choice to encrypt them.
The encryption options prevent archived presets, system files, and auto-
mation files from being restored if the user does not have the password

There is no “back door”— Orban cannot help
