Restore from backup

IMPORTANT: Make sure to back up any data (Performances, Programs, etc.)  that you want to keep! This process will remove all user data.

1. Download the following file:

Wavestate factory database as backup file

2. Open the wavestate Editor/Librarian.

3. In the File menu, select the Restore… command.

A standard file open dialog will appear.

4. Select the wavestate backup file downloaded in step 2 above ("wavestate_factory_database_2026.wsbackup.zip").

The Main Window will change to show the restore dialog. This shows the text note stored with the file, and includes a series of check-boxes to select the types of data which will be restored. By default, all data types are selected except for Calibration Data and the User Sample Bank.

Important: Leave Calibration Data un-checked! It should only be used when restoring to the identical physical instrument which created the backup.

5. Press Start to begin the restore, or Cancel to return to the Main Window.

A progress bar shows the status of the restore, and a message appears when the restore is complete.
