RELOAD PRESETS

  This option reloads the saved memory contents of the Preset Manager to active memory. Use this if you 

have mistakenly initialized or randomized saved data that you would like to keep. Note: You cannot reload 

presets after initiating “Save Presets.”

INIT All PRESETS

  Initializes all preset slots and replaces the data with a simple sound. This function does not automatically 

clear the saved data in memory. You must use the “Save Presets” command to make your changes 

permanent.

INIT CURRENT

Initializes the currently playing sound and replaces it with a simple sound. This function works even if the 

Preset Manager is not active.

Note: After initializing the current preset, the frequency of the filter will be set to the minimum in lowpass 

mode. Adjust the frequency controls to hear an audible signal once again.

PRESET CONFIGURATION (IN GLObAL/PRESET MENU)

  PRESET SCOPE

This parameter controls which channels are managed by the preset manager. When the preset manager 

is enabled, the channel buttons will illuminate IF they are being controlled by the manager. When Channel 

D is being controlled, the behavior of the TAP button's illumination will reverse (briefly blinking off on each 

beat).

 CTl

  This menu option determines the behavior of the Preset CV input and attenuator.

CV+OFFSET

Allows the CV input to directly cycle through the bank of 8 presets.  The attenuator knob will act as 

a manual offset. This is useful if you need a manual control to smoothly morph the preset data in 

Morph mode.

CV+ATTEN

Works like CV+Offset, but the knob becomes an attenuator for the incoming CV. This mode is useful 

for changing presets within a strictly controlled range, or subtly morphing within a narrow range of 

preset data.

TRIG + OFFSET

Treats the CV input as a trigger input instead. When a trigger or gate event is received, it will 

advance the preset number by one. The attenuator knob will manually scan through the presets.

TRIG RANDOM

Randomizes all parameters subject to Preset Scope when a trigger event is received at the CV 

input. Note that random patch results must be written to memory using the PRESET menu’s “Save 

Presets” command for permanent storage of these changes.

STARTUP

This menu item allows you to enable the preset manager when the modular system is powered on. You 

may choose to leave PRESET OFF or select either PRESET or MORPH mode ON.  This parameter is 

used when you have several Mark III modules in a live performance setup, to avoid setting the preset 

state on each one at startup. 

 CLOCk DIV

This will prescale the incoming tempo clock so you can, for example, use a 16th note sequencer clock 

output or a Sync24 pulse. When Clock Div is set to anything other than x1, the action of the tempo button 

will also be divided.
