Setting and Routing Memories:

The FS-96 has two

configuration modes consisting of Setup mode and Routing
mode, and the preset memories are provided for each of the
configuration modes — setting memories and routing memories.
All system settings for the FS-96 are stored in these preset
memories. The setting memories are used to store the operation
settings made in Setup mode, excluding the signal routing
configurations. Also, the routing memories are used only to store
the signal routing settings made in Routing mode.

10 preset memories (No. 0 – 9) are provided for each of the
configuration modes and the operation settings can be altered
momentarily by changing the memory number selections. Since
the setting and routing memories can be selected separately, it is
possible to change the signal routing settings while the same
operation settings are maintained. Also, it is possible to change
the system settings while the same routing settings are
maintained.

NOTE:

Combinations of setting and routing memories can be

stored to the PRESET keys on the front panel. Please refer to the

Using PRESET Keys

” section for the usage of the PRESET

keys (

p.15

).

Display of Current Preset Memories:

The initial screen

displays the preset memory numbers that are currently used.
Note that the changes made in the configuration modes will be
stored into the preset memories which are currently used. When
changing the operation parameters, confirm that the desired
memory numbers are displayed on the initial screen. See the

Recalling Preset Memories

” section on this page for the

details of recalling preset memories.

INITIAL SCREENS:

NOTE:

The contents of the preset memories will be updated
