13. Saving a Preset
You can initiate a preset save by holding the BANK
(SAVE) button from either Device Mode or Preset Mode. The DPC-5
Gen3 will save the
current status of the controller
to any selected preset position.
1. Use Device Mode to select the programs and set the bypass state for each of your connected devices.
2. Use Manual Mode to select the bypass status of your non-MIDI pedals and CTL destinations.
3. Hold the BANK
(SAVE) button to begin the save process.
4. Tap the BANK
(SAVE) buttons to select the desired preset bank.
5. Tap the A, B, C, or D buttons to select the desired preset. If the D footswitch is set to FAVE, tapping D will allow the user to
save the Favorite preset rather than the D preset in the current bank.
6. Hold the BANK
(SAVE) button to save the preset to the selected location.
(Optional) If Preset Names are selected in the DPC-5 Gen3 Setup
7. Hold the A or B buttons to move to the previous / next letter in the preset name. 8 letters are available for each preset.
8. Tap the A or B buttons to change the currently selected character in the preset name.
9. Hold the BANK
(SAVE) button again to save the name and the preset.
Preset Mode Tips:
You may cancel a preset save at any time by holding the A, B, C, or D buttons.
The “bypass” / zero preset is a special case. If you press the button of the currently loaded preset while in Preset Mode, the
DPC-5 Gen3 will bypass by loading the zero preset. If you would like to use the zero preset as a “favorite” sound, you can overwrite the
default values just like any other preset. Edit the preset like normal, but when you enter the preset save process, tap any of the preset
select buttons twice to load and then unload the preset location. The preset bank number will be displayed, but no preset (example
P00 if you are in bank 0.) If you save the preset with only the bank number showing, the DPC-5 Gen3 will save the current programs
and bypass state to the zero preset.
Bank Names:
If the “BNAM” option is set to something other than “OFF,” then you can save a name to each bank. This is great for setting up
the base bank as the song title and then having each preset serve as a song section such as Verse, Chorus, or Solo.
To save the bank name, enter the bank where you’d like to save and press the preset buttons until the A,B,C, and D LEDs are
OFF. Then, save the preset as normal - you’ll be prompted for the name of the bank. Edit the name and SAVE, and you're all done.
Memory Protect:
If the “PROT” option is set to “ON” in the DPC-5 Gen3 Setup, the preset memory protection is activated. While the memory
protection is active, the DPC-5 will not allow the user to save changes to presets, preset names, bank names, or loop device names.
This function is useful for live performance, to prevent accidental preset editing.
To disable memory protection, set “PROT” to “OFF” in the DPC-5 Setup.
