Calling up a Preset
A preset number from 0-30 can be selected via the data-entry dial. To call up the preset the
Start/Stop button has to be pressed. The Start/Stop button has the „Enter“ function in the
Preset menu.
Preset 0 has a special status. It corresponds to the actual current setting of the 48 dials on
the front panel. Preset 0 can be chosen to start the programming of a new sequence as in
this special case the 48 knob positions really reflect the MIDI /CV data sent via MIDI Out
and/or CV/Gate. The other parameters of preset 0 are predefined as follows: event type nA1
for all rows, MIDI channel 1/2/3, first step = 1, last step = 16, gate/note divider = 6, mode =
forward.
Preset 0 can also be used as an „emergency brake“ if the parameters of the sequence are
completely disarranged and a new start seems to be easier than readjusting each single
parameter.
Presets 1 - 30 refers to any previously stored presets.
If one exits the menu in this mode by pressing another button except Preset and Start/Stop
the preset displayed is not called up.
Edititing a Preset
After calling up a preset as described above it can be edited. To edit one of the 48
potentiometer values you only have to turn the knob in question. The software recognizes if
a knob was turned and takes in this case the value from the front panel knob and no longer
from the preset memory. If you turn one by one all the 48 knobs the complete frontpanel
setting corresponds to the data sent via MIDI/CV.
The other sequence parameters (event, channel ....) may be adjusted as described in the
chapters 2.2.3.1. - 2.2.3.6. The modified sequence may be stored in one of the preset
memories as discribed in the following paragraph.
Storing a Preset
If the Preset button is pressed a second time, all 8 LEDs will go on as a visual warning of the
impending storing procedure. If a preset-number (1-30) is now entered via the data-entry dial
and the Start/Stop button („Enter“) is pressed, then the current settings of the 48 dials and
the current parameter-values are stored in the selected preset. Any sequence previously
stored in this location will be overwritten and is thus irretrievably lost!
Manual Dump
If preset "0" is selected for storage, then the manual DUMP via MIDI-OUT of the actual
preset is triggered. In this case the data is not stored, instead the entire content of the
actual preset is dumped via MIDI in form of System Exclusive-instructions. The dump of the
complete memory is described in Appendix C.
