Hi Renato,<br>
<br>Bristol is delivered with 'factory' sounds which by default are in <br>/usr/local/share/bristol/memory/mini (or whichever emulator you are <br>looking at). The program does not typically write to this location.<br><br>When you save a memory the GUI will look for a variable called<br>BRISTOL_CACHE, find a subdirectory called <emulator>, 'mini' in<br>your case, then save the memory there. The default location for the <br>cache is ~/.bristol/memory and if the subdirectory structure does not<br>exist then it is created (if it is possible: you need write permissions <br>in the parent directory, naturally).<br><br>When you load memories this location is first scanned for the memory<br>you want, if that fails it will look for it in the installation 'factory' sounds.<br><br>
This gives you two choices: <br><br>1. configure a unique BRISTOL_CACHE for each project.<br>2. keep a backup manually with `cd; tar cfvpz bristolprojectX.tgz .bristol`<br><br>You may want to do both.....<br><br>
