Save Presets and Pad Maps (F3)
When you make assignment changes to a control or pad, the changes are stored in a current working memory area and the
settings are also stored over power cycling.
However if you change preset or pad map your settings will be lost because the loaded data will overwrite your programmed
changes. If you don’t want to lose your work we recommend saving as soon as you have created your setup. Here is how to
do that:
Save a Preset
Press F3 to activate the Save menu. The display will read {SAu} (yeah, that’s supposed to be a v)
Press [Enter] (last C key on your keyboard) to confirm menu selection
Select the Preset you want to save to, using the keys with the -/+ symbols screened above (C3/C#3)
You can also enter a specific preset number (1-5) using the white number keys spanning G3–D4
Press Enter (C5) to save to the selected Preset location (applicable for both selection methods)
Save a Pad Map
Press F3 to activate the save menu. The display will read {SAu} (yeah, that’s supposed to be a v)
Press [Enter] (last C key on your keyboard) to confirm menu selection
Press [Shift] and the pad corresponding to the pad map you want to save your pad settings to (1-4)
Press Enter (C5) to save to the selected pad map location
Load a Preset (F#3)
We explained earlier how you can use the Octave and Transpose buttons to select presets. Here is an alternative option for
loading presets so you don’t have to change your button functions.
Press F#3 to activate the Load menu. The display will read {Lod} (better than Loa, right?)
Select the Preset you want to load using the keys with the -/+ symbols screened above (C3/C#3). Presets are loaded
instantly as you step through them.
You can also enter a specific preset number (1-5) using the white number keys spanning G3–D4. Press Enter (C5) to load
the selected Preset location (only applicable when loading using the number entry option)
