Hello,
I have a MO8.
In the pattern mode I’ve been playing around with the mixing settings. It appears there are 64 slots for mixing setting templates. Slots 1 through 32 are populated and named. Slots 33 through 64 are vacant. I’ve built a template I’d like to “store/save” to slot 33, name it, and have it remain there after powering off and back on.
I can get it to store there temporarily, but once I power off, then power back on later, it is gone.
I’ve saved the mixing setting to USB device and am able to reload it every session, but it seems like I should be able to store it “permanently” in one of the vacant template slots and name it.
Can one of you all please tell me how to do that?
Thanx.

There are only 32 Templates in the MO8. What you have mistakenly identified as “templates” are PATTERNS.

It would be correct to say, “There are 64 PATTERN locations in the MO. There are 64 SONG locations in the MO. Each has a MIXING program. These MIXING programs, like the PATTERN and SONG data are stored in volatile memory and will be lost when you power down.”

It is also correct to say, “There are 32 non-volatile TEMPLATES in the MO. These can store MIXING program templates and can be recalled at any time using the TEMPLATE function.”

These 32 non-volatile Template locations initially contain placeholder data - as examples, you can write over these. But the key thing is you can name and keep these TEMPLATES “permanently” in your MO and can recall them (GET them) at any time. They can be recalled to SONG mode or to PATTERN mode whenever you need them.

From [MIXING] mode:

Press [JOB]
Press [F6] TEMPLATE
Here you will find the 32 place-holder Templates.
To STORE your current MIXING setup to one of these, use the DATA WHEEL to select a location 1-32
Move the cursor to the right [>] and +change the name to something meaningful to you.
Press [SF5] PUT to “PUT” the Current MIX in the “permanent” memory (FLASH ROM) - of course, you can rewrite it at anytime.

To recall a MIXING setup you would simply dial up its number and press [SF4] GET to “GET” the MIX from FLASH ROM and return it to the current MIXING program.

These TEMPLATES are archived as SYSTEM data and are backed up to USB stick when [SAVE] an ALL data file. So every ALL data file (.M7A) you create from this point on will have your 32 TEMPLATES stored within.

If you want to load an older ALL data file, or you are loading an ALL data file prepared by someone else… without changing your TEMPLATES use the LOAD option “ALL” but check the box that says “WITHOUT SYSTEM”

Hope that helps.
