Memory Card Configurations
ENvSONIQ MC-32 and MC-64 RAM Cards can be used to store up to two banks
of sounds (which we refer to as CARD A and CARD B) and/or preset data.
There are a number of different ways that a memory card can be configured,
depending on which size card it is, and what type of data is stored to the card
first. The drawing below shows the possible configurations for the two types of
cards:
MC-32
(32K RAM
Card)
MC-64
(64K RAM
Card)
16k

Possible RAM Card Configurations
Starting from a blank memory card, copying the internal sounds (INT) to
CARD A (described later in this section) will format the card, and will put 80
sounds in CARD A, leaving the rest of the card memory empty, as shown in
Configuration 1 above.
Once you have copied sounds into CARD A, you can copy another bank of
sounds to CARD B (Configuration 2) or you can save the internal preset
memory to the card (Configuration 3).
Starting from a blank memory card, saving the internal preset memory to the
card (described later in this section) will format the card, but will leave the
remaining memory unusable, as neither sounds nor additional preset memory
can be saved. Obviously, this is not recommended. (Configuration 4)
Additionally, with an MC-64 only, it is possible to copy sounds to both CARD
A and CARD B and still have 32K of additional card memory for preset storage
(Configuration 5).
The amount of the card memory allocated to preset storage depends on what
portion of the card is empty, or unused, at the time you first save presets to the
card. That is, when you save presets to the card, the SQ-R will allocate all
available card memory for preset storage. Thus, if you want to use the entire
card memory (either an MC-32 or MC-64) for presets, be sure not to store any
sounds to the card. If there are sounds already on the card, you can erase them
by removing the battery for approximately 1 minute, then replacing it.
It is also important to note that sounds stored to a RAM card can be played
directly from the cartridge, while preset data stored to the card must be
transferred to the internal preset memory before it can be used.
