Internal mode allows Aura’s pads and controls to be programmed to send MIDI messages and store the settings in any of the 16 Presets,
for use with any MIDI product. Select Internal mode by pressing the [Internal] mode button.
[Load] a Preset
Aura automatically loads the ‘GM Drum Kit’ Preset at first boot up. The Preset assigns the pads to GM (General MIDI) drum notes which
means it’s instantly compatible with other products that support the GM standard. Here are the Steps to scroll through and load any of the
other factory Presets:
•
Press and hold the display button [Load]
•
Move the [R1] pot while still holding [Load] to scroll through all 16 Presets.
•
Locate the Preset you are looking for and release [Load].
•
Press the display button [Enter] to load or [Exit] to cancel.
Quick-Load a Preset
The 16 pads can also be used to quickly load any of the 16 Presets.
•
Press and hold the display button [Load], then strike a [pad 1-16] corresponding to the Preset number you want to load.
[Save] a Preset
Once modifications have been made to a Preset (covered on page 11), it can be saved to any of the 16 Preset locations.
•
Press and hold the display button [Save]
•
Move the [R1] pot while continuing to hold [Save] to scroll through the 16 Presets.
•
Locate the Preset location you want to save to and release [Save].
•
Press [Rename] to change the name of the Preset before saving (see the next section for details)
•
Press display button [Enter] to save or [Exit] to cancel.
[Rename] a Preset
Renaming a Preset can only be done at the point of saving. After completing the first 4 Steps as described in the section ‘Save a Preset’, the
rename menu presents the following options:
•
[R1] scroll through characters such as letters from A-Z
•
[<] go to previous character in the Preset name
•
[>] go to next character in the Preset name
•
[A] toggle character options including upper case, lower case, numerical and symbol.
Use the above buttons to rename the Preset before saving it. Then press the display button [<Back] to return to the Save menu.
Complete the last Step as described in the ‘Save a Preset’ section to preserve the Preset name change.
