Your First Session with the Q20 - Chapter 2
Storing Edited Programs
Once you are satisfied with the changes you have made to a Program, or are creating a new Program from scratch, you will need to store your edited Program back into memory. The Q20 will store the currently selected Program in memory (which is retained when the unit is turned off). If you edit a Program, the changes you made will still be there the next time you switch on the unit, even if you hadnÕt stored the edited Program into memory yet. However, if you select another Program from memory before storing the edited Program, your changes will be lost. Although the Q20 has two banks (Preset and User), you can only store Programs in the User bank.
✪The Preset bank cannot be permanently changed. If you edit a Program selected from the Preset bank, you will be able to make changes, but when you attempt to Store the edited Program, it will be stored into the User bank (in the selected number location).
To store an edited Program into memory:
➀Press the [STORE] button.
The [STORE] buttonÕs LED will light. The display will read:
STORE AT:
Éwhereby X is User Bank 0 or 1, YY is a Program number from 0 to 99 and nnnn is the name of the program that will be overwritten. Both the Program number and name will be flashing.
➁Turn the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to select the Program number location in the User bank to store the edited Program into.
➂Press the [VALUE/ENTER] button. The display will momentarily read:
PROGRAM STORED
After storing, the User Program location you chose will automatically be selected and shown in the display (example: if you edited Program 13 and stored it into location 25, Program 25 will be selected).
Auditioning Programs before Storing
Here is a handy trick you can use in a sticky situation. LetÕs say youÕve just created a killer Program and you want to store it but you donÕt know where. If you are using Deferred Mode (Program mode, Page 2), you can scroll through a list of Programs and view their names without actually recalling them (which would result in losing your edited Program). If you want to hear what a Program sounds like, simply press the [COMPARE] button to audition a Program without selecting it. Once youÕve found the location you want to store into, you can simply press [STORE] twice to replace the selected Program with your newly created Program.
