LP Stage II User’s Manual - The User Interface
Preset mode is the default mode when the LP is powered on. Preset Mode is used to access presets and
provide control for editing, naming and storing sounds.
Preset sounds are selected using the VALUE knob. As the
VALUE knob is advanced, the next preset appears in the
display and is immediately available to be auditioned (you
do not need to ‘activate’ the preset to hear it). Pressing
VALUE and turning the knob will advance by increments
of ten.
You can use the front panel controls to edit the sound at
any point. Changing any of the front panel controls will
automatically switch the lower part of the display from
‘PRESET ACTIVE’ to ‘PANEL ACTIVE’, indicating that the
preset has been modified. The PRESET light also changes
its illumination from amber to red, indicating that the
sound you hear is an edited version of the stored preset
You can toggle between the stored and edited sound by pressing the PRESET button. This acts like a
COMPARE function, allowing you to compare the sound of the original and edited presets. When using
the COMPARE function, the PRESET button will alternate colors and the LCD will display either ‘PRESET
ACTIVE’ (the original sound) or ‘PANEL ACTIVE’ (the edited sound).
NOTE: When switching between Master and Preset modes, the last used preset appears
in the display.
Preset Mode
Storing Presets
To store a preset, press the ENTER button. This button doubles as the STORE button in Preset mode as
indicated on the front panel. Store is used to save an edited preset (Panel Active), or to change the location
of a stored preset (Preset Active).
When you press STORE, the LCD will display a message similar to the
one shown at left. The top line shows the location where the preset
will be saved, and the name of the preset that is currently stored in that
location. Use the VALUE knob to change to the desired preset location,
then press the CURSOR to move the cursor to the lower line of the
LCD. A default setting of ‘OVERWRITE: NO’ as shown protects you
from accidently overwriting a favorite preset. If you decide that you
do not want to save the preset, press ENTER and the LP will return to
Panel Mode without saving.
If you are sure you want to save the preset to the selected location,
use the VALUE knob to select ‘OVERWRITE: YES’ and press ENTER.
The LP will display the ‘PRESET STORED’ message confirming that
your preset was saved successfully.
