After a set has been mounted a project should be loaded. The Compact Flash card that
came shipped with the unit contains one project, named “PRESETS”. This project contains
16 demo patterns. If an empty Compact Flash is used the newly created set will not contain
any projects and a project should therefore be created. Read more about projects in sec-
tion “PROJECTS” on page 25.
