folder—the Restore dialog box allows you to choose the folder contain-
ing the files to be restored.
If you try to back up a preset with the same name as a preset existing in
the Backup folder, but with a different date, 8700i PC Remote will warn
you and will allow you to overwrite the preset in the Backup folder or to
cancel the operation. If you wish to keep the existing archived preset,
you can first use a file manager to move the existing user preset in the
Backup folder to another folder; then repeat the backup operation.
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.
In addition, you can load archived preset files from OPTIMOD-FM 8400 and 8500.
The 8700i supports all 8400 and 8500 features. 8400 presets will sound very similar
on the 8700i. (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 8700i is 64 kHz.) 8500
presets will sound identical when running on the 8700i.
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 8700i software versions. 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 archive 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 into an 8700i a User Preset that was originally archived from a
non-HD Optimod-FM, the 8700i will usually apply the digital radio pa-
rameters that the User Preset inherited from its source Factory Preset.
