I don't have my VR-09 set up, so I can't test this, but I would think that a factory reset and reloading 1.03 should return you to factory registrations and most importantly return the deep synth data to factory settings. If you have to rebuild your registrations, I would consider what state you want to use as the basis for building your registrations..

I would think that version 1.03 with the axial sounds loaded in, is the best state to use when you begin to recreate registrations. I think you want the factory programs loaded into the bottom registrations, the axial cover band registrations in the top half, and all the new sounds that came with 1.03 (10 new eps and 15 new synth programs), and take it from there.

However, once you're at this level/state, and before you start editing registrations you should save this state on a separate USB stick, so that you can always easily get back to this state. Now you can recreate your registrations, and once you do that, save them (by themselves) on a different USB stick. You save them on a different USB stick so that YOUR deep edits are saved separately, and do this for any different sets of registrations that you use.. In my case I had one set of registrations that I used when I used it as an organ replacement (for my mojo), and a different set of registrations for when I used it stand-alone for rehearsals, and another set of registrations for when I used the VR-09 with a horn band. All of these registrations were on different USB sticks.

Honestly, this VR-09 architecture for saving/loading registrations is stupid, no question about it. But it is relatively easy IF you remember that the VR-09 only stores ONE .dat file per sub stick and you remember to use separate sticks for saving different registrations whenever you are making deep edits. The really stupid thing is that all Roland has to do is give the VR-09 the ability to store incremental .DAT files (001/002/003 etc.) that correspond to the different registration files and this problem is solved... I'm not sure why they don't do this, but it may be a limitation of the hardware, or the architecture.

That said, I am not entirely sure what constitutes a "deep" edit.. Maybe Wes can comment on this. He's building an editor to help with editing the VR-09.. So make he can shed some light on this?
