Setup GUI – SYSTEM - the
preset concept
in detail
The example above shows the
preset concept
of the
D*AP8.
It is a general feature of the device and you will
come across it in almost every area. For all relevant settings one set of
ON AIR
parameters and a practically
unlimited number of
PRESETS
are available. The count depends on the NV memory space left.
If you want to load parameters from a preset to the
ON AIR
area or save parameters from the
ON AIR
area
to a preset, you must press
<load>
or
<save>
:
A dialog opens to select the desired preset. When you press
<ok>
the selected action will be executed.
When you press on the little pencil icon the preset name turns
italic
and you may edit it.
To generate a new preset offline, you must click into the preset name field below the
PRESET
headline :
The pull down offers
"Add Preset"
. If you select this a new entry to the list will be
generated. Clicking on the small trash bin symbol will delete that preset.
You may change the default name "Preset x" by clicking on the small pencil icon.
Now the default name becomes
italic
and you may edit that name.
If you have selected the new preset or one of the existing presets indicated by the name displayed at the
top, you may edit the parameter values.
Important Note!
The presets of the
D*AP8
are persistent by nature. You are working directly on the preset
memory, i.e. you need not worry about storing such presets. The
D*AP8
does it for you.
On the other hand you must be aware that you will
overwrite the actual preset settings!
If you want to keep
original values (e.g. from a factory preset) you must simply
copy
the content of an existing one to the clip
board, add a new preset, name it differently and
paste
the clip board to it.
At the bottom of the
PRESET
part you will find the soft buttons to
<copy>
the content of that preset to the
clip board or to
<paste>
the content of the clip board into an other preset which you have selected before
pasting.
You may also
<export>
or
<import>
the preset content to / from a file.

Preset Cleanup
It is sometimes desirable to delete presets which are used by multiple events without stepping through all
processing blocks and deleting the respective presets one by one. This pane offers you a tool to delete
presets from a central access point:
