You also have the option of storing a Mix or Program directly to a specific location in
a RAM Sound Card Bank (instead of transferring the entire Bank) and vice versa.
However, the Sound Card you are storing to must be of the current QS6.1 Bank
format. A Sound Card is formatted whenever an entire QS6.1 Bank is stored onto it.
If you are using an older QuadraSynth Sound Card that does not use the current
Bank format, you will not be able to store individual Mixes or Programs onto it until
you store an entire QS6.1 Bank onto it first.

display will indicate the situation with an error message. If the card is not of the
current Bank format, use the ÒSave To CardÓ command first (see previous page) to
save the entire User Bank to the card. This however will erase all Programs and
Mixes in the selected card Bank. If these are important to you, first load them into the
User Bank in the QS6.1, and then save them back onto the card in order to re-format
the card using the new format.

You can load a single Mix or Program from a Sound Card into the User Bank, instead
of having to load the entire Bank from the Sound Card. To do this, select the Mix or
Program in the Sound Card Bank that you wish to copy, then use the Store Function
(as described above) to designate a location you wish to store to in the User Bank.

Note: When storing a Mix from a Sound Card into the User Bank, the individual
Programs used by the Mix will not be moved into the User Program Bank. Once you
store a Mix from a Sound Card into the User Bank, it will still look for its Programs in
the Sound Card Bank, if that is where it was programmed to look for them in the first
place (which is frequently the case).

Note: If the Mix or Program you wish to transfer uses samples that reside on a ROM
card in slot A or B, you must have the ROM card in that same slot after the transfer in
order for that portion of the Program or Mix to sound the same (or at all).
