The first thing you need to do is export the sets you want from your FR-7x onto a USB stick. You can export all of your sets, or just select sets if you only want a few. For instructions on how to do this, check out the knowledge base article titled: "How to export FR-7x sets". As a heads up, the FR-7x sets will be converted into User programs in your FR-8x, and will not transfer over as sets. If you’ve already don't some programming in the user program banks on your FR-8x, be sure that you know which banks are used, so that you don’t overwrite them with the FR-7x sets.
- Once you have your desired FR-7x sets on a USB stick, plug it into the FR-8x.
- Press the menu button.
- Use the data/enter knob, scroll until you find the Utility menu with the number 15 in the top right hand corner, then press the data/enter knob to access the Utility parameters.
- Use the data/enter knob to scroll until you see the screen that says Import, with the number 15.8 in the top right hand corner.
- Press the data/enter knob to highlight the parameter that says “Type”.
At this point, you have to make a decision. If you want to import all of your FR-7x sets, then rotate until the screen says “FR-7X All SET’s”. If you want to import just a few select sets, rotate the knob until it says “FR-7X Single Set”. - Once you have either all sets or a single set selected, press the menu/write button (screen shot).
- Rotate the data/enter knob until you’ve highlighted the set that says “FR-7X_FRS” set.
- Press the menu/write button to complete the procedure.
Remember that your FR-7x sets will now be located in the USER program banks, and not as a set in the FR-8x.
