Clear style content from Hard drive user bank

[ivoryslapper]

Can anyone tell me if and how to remove saved styles on the PA 1x pro hard drives User style banks 1 to 9 please.

I have some earlier styles stored there which I loaded from floppy disk created by EMC Styleworks and wanted to remove them to show the banks are empty without doing anything drastic like OS Resouce being reloaded again.

I know I can save new styles over the top but just wanted to know if there was a way to clean the banks from the keyboard and leave those banks that I wish to keep.

Thanks.

Hi Ivoryslapper. I assume that the pa1x is the same as pa2x with regard to protection of the Factory Banks. What I would do is unlock the Factory Bank protection and save all the Banks to the Hard Drive with a memorable name. Load them onto the Computer and use XRM. Load all the styles into a Blank Database in XRM and then create New Banks to replace the Factory Banks and then reload them into the pa1x as complete Banks. I have a Tutorial on XRM HERE:

The only problem I can see is if you've used Custom sounds within those Factory Styles and they would have to be replaced..

There is a link to XRM Program also on the page. Hope that helps

User Styles can be erased from either SSD memory or Hard disk simply by drilling down to where they are and erasing them.
Eg suppose they are on Hard disk then press the Disk button, Erase Tab (carefull here - dont choose Erase just yet), make sure HD is highlighted in bottom left corner (not SSD - though you can erase User Styles from SSD if you have this chosen).
Now choose DirectHD, OPEN (not erase), find Bank123.set, OPEN, Style Open. UserX, OPEN, now its safe to choose the Styles you don't want and hit the Erase Option.
Hope this make sense and.....be sure to do a full backup before fiddling with this just in case you erase something you want by mistake.
By Full backup I mean Full Resource backup AND making a copy of your DirectHD directory on a computer (via USB cable) if this is where your midi files are kept for instance.
All the best,
John
