To Load a Preset:

1.

Press

PSET

to display the Preset Management screen.

2.

Use the knobs to scroll through the list of presets. The blue highlight indicates

the currently selected preset.

3.

Touch

Load

to load into blackbox the information that was previously saved for

this preset. The only values that are not stored in each preset are the values on

the

TOOLS

pages. These are global settings that apply across presets and are

stored separately on the microSD card.

To Pack a Preset:
After you spend time carefully creating a preset, you don’t want to worry about it getting
broken if you make changes to that WAV file or re-organize your sample library. You may
also want to gather up all of the files used in a preset so you can move it to another
microSD card or archive it on your computer. The Pack feature was created to address
these needs.

1.

Load the preset you want to pack.

2.

Push

PSET

and then touch

File->Pack

. Blackbox will copy all of the WAV files

used by this preset into this preset’s folder. Any multi-sample banks will be

copied with their folder. The preset.xml file will be updated to point to these

copies of the WAV files and will be saved.

Note:

►

If you continue to add WAV files to your preset after you pack it, the

preset will still point to these WAV files in their source folders. Pack the

preset again to copy these files over.

►

If the

Pack

option is disabled, then the preset is fully packed already.
