GLOBAL SETTINGS

78

In the MODE column you select which action you want to perform.

LOAD will load one of the 128 available Snapshots.

SAVE will save the content in the Battery Backed Memory to one of the 128 Snapshot loca-
tions.

RENAME makes it possible to rename Snapshots. A Snapshot name can contain a maxi-
mum of 8 characters.

ERASE will erase the selected Snapshot from the +Drive.

LOCK will lock the Snapshot. When a Snapshot is locked it is not possible to overwrite,
rename or erase it. If QUICK MODE in the +DRIVE menu is set to CHANGE the locked
Snapshot will disregard this and instead function as if QUICK MODE was set to LOAD.
Hence no altered pattern, kit, song, mute settings or global data will be saved when chang-
ing Snapshots. A locked Snapshot is indicated by a lock symbol in the lower right side of
the menu window.

UNLOCK reverts a locked Snapshot to the default, unlocked, status.

Copy/Clear/Paste commands are available in the SNAPSHOT MANAGER menu.
Warning! No Undo command is available in this menu.

It’s possible to lock or unlock a Snapshot regardless the selected MODE alterna-
tive. Highlight the Snapshot with the cursor and press [FUNCTION] + [ENTER/
YES] to lock it. By pressing [FUNCTION] + [ENTER/YES] a locked Snapshot will be
unlocked.

For faster scrolling in the list, hold down the [FUNCTION] button and press the
[UP]/[DOWN] arrow keys. The SOUND SELECTION
wheel can also be used.

With a +Drive you can assign unique audio output routings to your Snapshots
thanks to each Snapshot having its own 8 Global slots. A Snapshot also remem-
bers your mute settings and if your unit is in song or pattern mode.

To the right, under the camera icon, you can see which Sample bank that is linked
to the Snapshot. If you switch Sample banks the new Sample bank assignment
will not be graphically updated until the Snapshot is saved. The changes will be
reflected immediately in the SAMPLE MANAGER menu though.

SAMPLE BANK MANAGER (UW +DRIVE UNITS ONLY)

In the SAMPLE BANK MANAGER menu you can switch, rename, erase, lock and unlock
