How to backup +Direct+ ?

Post by tombikadam »

I wanted to backup my user set, when I did, I couldn't see my user styles because they were in DIRECT USER BANKS, how will I backup DIRECT USER STYLES?

Your Direct User styles are already in a SET on disk.

The PA4X merely "points" to a SET on disk and makes it available in "Direct Banks"

If you want to make a copy of it just go into Media mode>> Copy tab
Locate the SET you are currently using as "Direct" and copy it (to USB or whatever your choice is).

So to summarise:-
Your normal USER banks are "inside" (internal memory) the PA4X and would need "saving" in MEDIA mode to disk in order to backup (e.g. create a new SET).
Your Direct USER banks are USER banks within a SET that's already on disk.
PA4X V2 Manual - Page 911 wrote:Direct data are additional Keyboard Sets, Styles and SongBook Entries and
Set Lists, residing in a storage device like the internal drive or a removable
USB drive. They can be considered as an extension of the internal memory.
Direct Keyboard Sets and Styles are immediately accessed when pressing
the USER/DIRECT button in the STYLE or KEYBOARD SET LIBRARY area,
or by selecting the Direct type of data while in the Keyboard Set Library
Select or Style Select window.
Hope this helps.
