card “MY8-mLAN”; planned for availability in the near
future) is installed in option slot.
Plug-in page
Plug-in page has been added to display parameters for I/

tem. To access the Plug-in page, press the [PATCH]

Tip!
In the Plug-in page you can use BACKUP and RESTORE
as additional functions. For details refer to the sections
below.
Backing up an I/O card
If an I/O card compatible with the MiniYGDAI plug-in
system is installed, you can use a memory bank
(MEM.BANK) to store I/O card settings.
Scene changes on the AW2816 are linked to changes of
the I/O card settings, and when you store the scene (or
save the song), settings of the I/O card installed in
option slot will be automatically backed-up to
MEM.BANK.
However if necessary, you can also perform the backup
operation manually. The procedure is as follows.

a prototype 56K DSP card manufactured by the
Waves Corporation. For details, refer to the manual
for your I/O card.
