To Queue a Preset:
1.
Repeat Steps
1
&
2
as outlined above.
2.
Make sure the
ACTION
parameter is set to ‘Queued Load.’ Pressing the encoder toggles
between the ‘Load’ and ‘Queued Load’ options.
3.
Press the Stage button (1-8) corresponding to the preset you wish to
load.
The button will flash indicating that the preset is queued and waiting
for a reset signal to load.
4.
Trigger a reset signal on TRK 1. This can be done by pressing the
RESET
button; sending a
trigger into the
RESET
jack (if configure as a reset input); or sending a trigger into AUX X, Y
or Z (if assigned to ‘Reset’ on TRK 1).
The queued preset loads and the screen flashes a message to confirm your preset has loaded.
NOTE 1: You can also instruct a queued preset to load automatically after a user-specified
number of pulses, or on a specific grid.
If the LEN screen’s
Pulses = ‘Auto’
and the SETUP menu’s ‘
Preset Setup > Queued Pulses’
is set to
some number
‘n’
, then the preset will load only load when ‘n’ pulses (or a multiple of ‘n’ pulses)
has transpired since the last reset signal. For example, if
Queued Pulses = ‘32’
and the LEN
screen’s
Pulses = ‘Auto’
, then a queued preset can only load 32 (or 64, 96, 128, 160, etc) pulses
after the last reset. If your sequence is in 4/4 time, then pulse divisions of 16 or 64 will keep
pulse loads in sync with your patterns.
If the LEN screen’s
Pulses
parameter is set to anything other than ‘Auto,’ then the queued
preset loads when the sequence resets.
NOTE 2: Queued Presets will also load when Metropolix is stopped, ensuring they are loaded
prior to restarting the sequencer.
NOTE 3: You can cancel a queued load by pressing the same (or an empty) preset button. Or
you can pick a different preset to load by selecting it before the reset signal.
