SIDaster ROM and Patch Data

Warning : This section is not implemented in Beta 3 release of the synth. It has been added to the Wiki as a specification, in order to help the coding process of the next beta release. Expect it to be included in the final release of the SIDaster.

This section describes how patch Data is used and stored in ROM.

Saving and retreiving Patches

The lower Keyboard Keys are used for configuration purpose. While the “Function” Key is pressed, an action on the keys below will have the corresponding action performed. e.g. : While the “Function” key is held, pressing C0 and then D0 will load the Preset #2.
