Show Card status
This function makes it possible to check the status of your PC-

the write protection status, the number of Presets on the Card and
the amount of free space.
NOTE: This information will only be available when the card is

User/Card Bank copy
This section makes it possible to copy a specified group of
Presets to or from a specific space on a Card. For example: You
want to copy User Preset 10-15 from the FireworX to Preset 5-10
on your Card. Now set the “User Bank Preset start” at 10
(because you start the group of Presets at #10), the “Card Bank
Preset start” at 5 (because you want the first copied Presetto start
at #5), the “Number of Presets” to 5 (because that is the number
of Presets you want to copy). Now select Copy “From User Bank
to Card” scroll to “Execute copy” and press Enter twice to
