Load Bank

_ If the bank to be merged is not a native EOS bank, it's impossible for EOS to know the exact size in advance and the merge may not be completed.

_ A “Memory Full” error will occur if you try to merge two banks which together contain more than 50 sequences.

Load Bank

A bank can be loaded directly from the disk browser.

v To Load a Bank:

1.From the Disk Browser, press the Load function key (F4). The following screen appears:

2.Choose a bank to load using the Data Entry Control, INC/DEC keys or the numeric keypad. You may also change the current drive or folder by using the up/down cursor keys to select the drive or folder. Press OK to load the bank or Cancel to cancel the operation. If you pressed “OK” the bank will be loaded and the main preset selection screen appears.

3.If there is a bank already loaded, the following warning screen appears. press OK to overwrite the previously loaded bank or Cancel to cancel the operation.

4.Press Load again. The Merge button (shown above) allows you to combine the new bank with the bank that was previously loaded.

5.Press Merge to combine the two banks of presets or OK to continue. The display will warn you if there isn't enough memory to hold both banks.

Note:

EIII presets are translated into EOS presets as they are loaded. EOS voices are much bigger than EIII voices. By contrast, EOS sample zones within voices are tiny. At import/load time, EOS tries to collapse adjacent EIII voices into EOS voice+sample zones if it can (Envs, LFOs, etc. must be the same), otherwise, it creates voices. Therefore, EIII presets that use lots of differing voices really balloon in EIV. Simpler presets (Proteus-type presets which have the same settings for all samples) may collapse into a single voice.
