BACKUP Folder

BACKUP Folder

Hi all.

How does the INTEGRA-7 use this folder?

I've noticed that files in this folder won't allow patch selection for importing, and that the mini display on the right of the screen that shows how many patches, performances etc are available, shows zero in all categories. I haven't tested them for restoration of the unit, but that doesn't really make sense to me anyway because if they're, say, just a bunch of patches (like SLP), it hardly makes sense that these files could be used as a basis for the restore function.

I renamed the SL, SLP and EAS files with more recognisable titles, and the INTEGRA-7 automatically renamed the BACKUP folder contents with a similar or the same prefix for all of them. I think it's the same one/s the original files used. Obviously I don't want to mess with Roland's naming scheme so I'm not seeking to override the new suffixes (although if I can do this safely, I will, as the names become truncated and therefore more cryptic again). Is it OK to rename them and is there a character limit?

I had no luck with the manual; I could find no discussion of the folder, and managed only one (irrelevant) result from searching here. Probably missing something obvious as nobody else seems to have had any questions about this.

Thank you for your time, Rollies.

Backup means backup of all stored data, including patch, menu settings and so on.
Export means export of some patch or studio set. (you choose which)

Restore means restore of the same situation was Integra 7 when you do backup

Import you choose what patch o studio do you want import in USER slot.

I can't understand the name question. When I do backup I set name like "Prog Back 1".
When I restore I see Integra 7 backup (the fist I made) and Prog Back 1 (with all Axial in the right position and so on).

I don't look this data with Pc. Simply I copy ALL data in a Pc folder like "Integra 7 Prog Data"

but if I want to import the backup svd file to library editor, it does not see any patches or studio sets ! Just empty file.

What I want to do,is to import my user pathches to librarian and reorganize the librari, but I can't

Thank you for responding, progressivefusion.

Yeah, I get the backup / restore thing, but my query is about all the other files found there:

My I7 Euro Atk Syn, I7 Syn Leg FX and I7 Syn Leg Pure banks (in the SOUND ƒ) for instance, are reflected in the BACKUP ƒ with _._ or something similar added to the start of the file names.

How does Roland use these? I cannot access them as they show 0 patches, 0 performances etc in the mini display on the right. I'd like to think that every time you save patches or performances that copies are automatically placed in this folder and that they become automatically available if and when the primary copies fail.

It's not a big deal. I'd just like to know how they're used.
