OPERATION ORBAN MODEL 8700i
The folder on your hard drive containing the preset files (both Factory
and User) is automatically synchronized to the contents of its associated
8700i’s memory each time 8700i PC Remote connects to that 8700i. The
8700i’s memory is the “master.” This means that if you delete a user pre-
set from the 8700i’s memory (whether locally via its front panel or via
8700i PC Remote), 8700i 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- 94.)
To save a user preset you have created:
A) Select S

B) Click OK.
PC Remote will offer three options:

Save backup files (User Presets, system files, and automation) in plain text.
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
used for the encryption.
There is no “back door”— Orban cannot help
you to decrypt a preset whose password is unknown.
All User Preset, system, and automation files are copied from your Opti-
mod’s internal memory to a folder called “Backup” on your PC. This fold-
er is a subfolder of the folder that is named the same as the alias of the
Optimod that you are backing up, and is located in the following path:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Orban\Optimod 8700i PC Remote\
To make more than one backup archive, rename the current backup
folder (for example, to “Backup1”). 8700i PC Remote will create a new
backup folder the next time you do a backup, leaving your renamed
backup folder untouched. Later, you will be able to restore from any
