same button. 
 

Macro 

 

The Macro function allows you to run one of the 128 macros defined in the system. Please see the Macros 
section of the

top of the main screen if the page name is not blank. 
 
 

Edit Presets 

The Edit Presets menu lets you define which program change messages are sent to each device for the preset, as well as 
the preset name, expression pedal settings and the current button page.

“Same” will keep the current button page when the preset is selected.

 

 

Tempo 

– Sets the tempo (in BPM) for this preset. A tempo setting of 

(zero) indicates that this preset has no tempo 

defined. See the Tap Tempo and MIDI Clock section for details.
