    Explanation

    Unlit (dark orange)

    Project number that already contains a project

    Blinking yellow

    Project number for which a project hasn’t been created (empty project)

    Blinking red

    Project number to which the imported project is saved

    Lit red

    Project number to which the imported project is saved (if a project already exists at that project number, it is overwritten with the newly imported project)

  22. Turn the [VALUE] knob to select the project to import, and press the [VALUE] knob.
  23. The project is now imported.

NOTE

When you import a project to a project number that already contains a project (the pad lights up red), a message is shown to confirm the overwrite-save.

To import and overwrite, turn the [VALUE] knob to select “OK”, and press the [VALUE] knob.

Performing this operation overwrites (erases) the project in the import destination.

NOTE

Never turn off the power or remove the SD card while the screen indicates “Working...”.
