Your First Session with the Wedge – Chapter 1

Wedge Reference Manual

Storing and Naming Edited Programs

Once you are satisfied with the changes you have made to an edited Program, or are
creating a new Program from scratch, you will need to store your edited Program
back into memory. The Wedge will store the currently selected Program in non-
volatile memory (which is backed-up 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 hadn’t 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 forever.

Although the Wedge has two banks (Preset and User), you can only store Programs in the

User bank.

To store an edited Program:

Press [STORE].
The [STORE] button will flash, and the display will read:

Store XXX (nnnnnnnnnnnn)?

…whereas XXX is a Program location number from 00—127 in the User bank, and

nnnnnnnnnnnn is the Program’s name.

Use the [VALUE] knob to select which location (00—127) you wish to store the

selected Program into.

You can only store Programs into the User bank. If you select a Program from the Preset

bank and store it, you will automatically be taken into the User bank.

If desired, change the Program’s name by pressing [A/NAME].

This moves the cursor from the location number field to the first character in the

Program’s name. Turn the [VALUE] knob to scroll through the list of available
characters. Use the [C/<] and [D/>] buttons to move the cursor’s position left and right,

respectively. If you need to move the cursor back to the Program number field to select a

different location to store to, press [B/ESC].

Note: To abort this operation — and thereby not store the edited Program — simply

press any other button except [STORE].

Press [STORE] again.

The [STORE] button’s LED will momentarily flash quickly, while the display reads:

Prog nnnnnnnnnnnn Stored!

…whereby nnnnnnnnnnnn is the Program’s name. The [STORE] button will turn off
and the display will revert to wherever it was before [STORE] was pressed for the first

time.
