> For example, say I wanted to do something super simple, like copy a blank INIT patch from preset 9, and overwrite it onto another filled preset, like 11.... > > 1) double-click 9 from Save & Get list > 2) click Get Patch > 3) script sections warns you it will overwrite; say yes > 4) script section now shows basic INIT preset > > 5) go back to Save & Get Method 1........ Double click on 11 to select it on the BCF This loads the preset 11 into the edit buffer on the BCF The BCF should read "P-11" Now you want to overwrite the edit buffer with the script in the PC Press the editor's "Send" button on the top right. This will send the script to the BCF's edit buffer. Press "Store Patch". This sends a command to the BCF to write whatever is in the edit buffer to the currently selected preset. In your case Preset 11. Method II.... The current preset on the BCF is 23 Send the script to the edit buffer with the "Send" button. You have just overwritten a copy of preset 23 that was in the edit buffer with the script in the PC. You want to write the modified edit buffer to Preset 11. Single click 11, then press "Store Patch" When the Patch list is "Restored" you should see the name of the Script in the preset 11. The current preset should be 11 "P-11" So... Double click selects a preset on the BCF. A quick way to get around the presets to try them out, but this will overwrite the edit buffer each time, but that's OK because you haven't sent the preset script from the PC yet. Or... Use single click to select a different preset that you want to write to. You use this when there is something in the edit buffer that you want to keep. "Preset" and "patch". Roland calls them Patches on their synths. It comes from Patch cords that were used to join sections of modular synths together to make a sound. Confusing? - Now to rearrange presets... Preset 32 will be the 'don't care what happens to it' preset Double click on the preset 1 . (Loads on the BCF) Single click on 32 then press "Store Patch". A copy of 1 is now in 32. Double click on 17 because that needs to go to 1 Single click on 1 and press "Store Patch" - now a copy of 17 is in 1 2 is blank Double click 32 so we can store that copy of the old 1 to preset 2 Single click 2 and press "Store Patch" etc........ There is no need to load a preset into the PC to rearrange. Note: There are some scripts that can be written to the BC that when you load them back the script will be wrong. The checksum in .tx lines for example. If you do the above without bringing them into the PC they copy correctly. Hope this helps Royce
