[LAU] bristol saving/loading banks

Hi Renato,


Bristol is delivered with 'factory' sounds which by default are in 
/usr/local/share/bristol/memory/mini (or whichever emulator you are 
looking at). The program does not typically write to this location.

When you save a memory the GUI will look for a variable called
BRISTOL_CACHE, find a subdirectory called <emulator>, 'mini' in
your case, then save the memory there. The default location for the 
cache is ~/.bristol/memory and if the subdirectory structure does not
exist then it is created (if it is possible: you need write permissions 
in the parent directory, naturally).

When you load memories this location is first scanned for the memory
you want, if that fails it will look for it in the installation 'factory' sounds.


This gives you two choices: 

1. configure a unique BRISTOL_CACHE for each project.
2. keep a backup manually with `cd; tar cfvpz bristolprojectX.tgz .bristol`

You may want to do both.....


Kind regards, nick
