 8.10 WRITE TIMBRE

191

After making all the desired settings, you can use the WRITE TIMBRE procedure to save the

timbre you have edited in one of the 256 memory locations assigned to the Timbres. From any

Timbre environment video page, press the [WRITE] button in the MODE&SET-UP section of the

front panel, and the display will show:

The CURRENT LOCATION field displays the current memory location, and DESTINATION, the

one where the Timbre will be saved. By default, the two fields offer the same memory location: in

this case, if the memorisation procedure is concluded, the timbre will be overwritten with consequent

loss of the original settings.

Pressing the [F1] button or [WRITE] button will confirm the memorisation procedure, and the

display will show everything with the Pop-Up:

Conversely, if the [F4] button is pressed from the video page shown previously, you can assign a

new name to the Timbre; in this case, the display will show:

You can now use the encoder or number keypad to assign a new name to the Timbre displayed

in square brackets. As the screen-printing on the panel shows, each number pad button offers

three letters of the alphabet as well as the number associated to it. Moreover, the function keys

can be used to recall the following functions:

•

INS ([F1]) function: inserts a space before the character on which the cursor is located;

•

CAPS ON/OFF ([F2]) function: selects the type of character (uppercase / lowercase);

•

DELETE ([F3]) function: deletes the character on which the cursor is located;

After typing the name of your choice, press button [F4] (DONE function), and assignment of the

new name will be completed.
