Arrgh!

this damned thing drives me crazy.

How can you ALWAYS save a PLG150-AN patch you have created with AN 
Expert Editor on CS6-X ?

My good it's Awfully unintuitive. I explain : each time I save a 
voice on the cs6-x with the current patch I have created (and after a 
bulk Dump from the soft to my cs6-x), I find it wih 
the 'InitialVoice' instead of keeping the sound I programmed under 
the software...

If you have a clear procedure to succeed...

Bulk dump from AN expert editor will load the patches into userbank 
(036/002. Hold down plg button and use inc/dec keys to find). 
Userbank is a temporary memory buffer and will disappear everytime 
you turn off synth. It is necessary to save userbank to memory card. 
When saving userbank to card, name the file "AUTOLD1.s2b" if your plg 
card is in #1 slot, or "AUTOLD2.s2b" if plg card is in #2 slot. This 
way the userbank will automatically load itself every time you turn 
on synth. Yamaha's owners' manual sucks, but there are "power user 
guides" available on their website. Look for PLG150AN tutorial, 
PLG/smartmedia card, FAQ, and cardfiler owners manual. This info 
should have been in owners manual. Very confusing, but works well 
once you've figured it out. Hope this 
helps!
