Back to square one

Bernie - Can you wait till March 2007 and Bill and I will have a look at what you are trying to do. You are right in that it is almost impossible to explain what you've got; what you've done so far; and what you want to do in sufficient detail using a forum like this or e-mail or even writing a letter...
Best wishes

Thanks Rog
I've about got it. It's all in moving data from composer memory to custom.

I think it's perfectly possible to solve a problem in a forum as has been proved a million times in the past. If multiple panel memories require multiple composers, then because there are more panel memories than composers you need to store different composers in the custom section. Thus load the different composers and copy to custom slots 1 to 20. Then load the prepared multiple panel memories and select each and resave pointing to the matching rhythm in the custom section slot instead of the composer. Then save panel memories PLUS all custom on page 2 save.

Re 'Perfectly possible to solve a problem in a forum'
I'm sure you're right Alec providing there is absolute lucidity in all the communications..I guess you will know the old story about 'send reinforcements we are going to advance' becoming 'send three and fourpence we're going to a dance'...

Got it. One last question; I load a song and it loads a new style into composer memory. At that point, how do I get it into custom.

Bernie,

Program Menus - Composer - Custom Style Copy - Select memory bank and Custom Style slot (1-20). Also works in reverse.

Say hi to the bride.

for more advanced planning, consider this:

If you put your dance SETS into custom then put the matching panel memories in banks 1 to 10 not A to C, and save on page 2 with panel switched to ALL as well as with all custom YES. If you leave bank 1 active when saving that will come up on load ready to play as normal. Now save your different SETS in say a "set" sd folder, and in other folders labelled say "A to D", "E to H" by song title or whatever etc save the individual songs saved in composer and panel memory A (or B or C).

Now after loading a set of say 20 songs (which takes a relatively long time since involves custom) if you get a mid set request for another song not in that set, you can load that individual song in a second from the composer version, and afterwards pick up and go back to the rest of the set, because your custom and panel banks 1 to 10 will not have been altered at all by any of the the new individual song loads.

Thus your sets remain in effect as presets while you can load any other songs on top without affecting them, as explained in 3.08.

Clever Alec, very clever as usual.

I want to thank everyone. You will be happy to know that I not only solved my problem, but learned something new. It is like everything else, you do it once or twice, and it is a piece of cake.

Great tip, Alec. I will use it for sure.
