[A6] card initializing

[Collidemail at aol.com]

thanks for this post, I haven't been paying too much attention to the posts 
here, but I had a card that I forever could not figure out how too 
initialize.  It seems so simple now.  thanks for the post...

Yeah!, finally got the Pretec cards but initializing them is another story
for me. I was reading the entire list archives to see if someone had
posted solutions to this problem, found the problem but Felix forgot
to reveal the solution or that simple step He was ignoring during
the whole process.
. . . Well this is such a GREAt SYNTH that any answer to a problem we may
encounter IS worth waiting for.

Thanks in advance for your time and patience.

Fire up the A6 put the card in and the A6 should detect the card. Then
press store, followed by card (soft button 6).Turn soft knob 1 all the
way round until "hit store to initiate card" shows. Press store to
initiate and you will be given options to how you want the card
structured. For saving just program banks on the card press soft button
1, for just mix banks soft button 2 and for mixes and programs soft
button 3. I used soft button 3 so I can have 6 program banks and 3 mix
banks. Then downloaded the five program banks (by Rob Papen, Klaus Peter
etc) from alesis's site
(http://www.alesis.com/downloads/software/A6/index.html) for card banks
1-5. This means you'll have an added 635 preset sounds and you can use
card bank 6 for your own patches. Plus you'll be able to save 3 banks of
your own mixes.
