Advanced Features

Switching Preset Types when Saving

Before selecting a location for your preset, you may press one of the unit buttons ({A}, {B}, {C},

or {D}) to force the type of preset being written to be a 1 Unit preset. The Data Entry Knob will

now select 1 Unit preset locations, and when you press {WRITE} a third time to confirm the save,

the unit data from the indicated unit will be saved as a 1 Unit preset with the name you choose

(the default name is the last name of the algorithm). This is useful for saving single units from

within a 2U, 4U, or Config Preset where 1 Unit presets are not usually available. Note that

ganged 2 Unit algorithms (“3.3 sec DDL 2U” or “Pitch Shift 2U”) or the vocoder algorithm cannot

be saved this way.

Similarly, pressing {CONFIG} will force the type of preset being written to be a Config preset.

The Data Entry Knob will now select config preset locations.

Saving a 2 Unit Preset While in a 1 Source Config

In a 1 Source config, only 4 or 1 Unit presets can be saved. However, if you have edited the

algorithm parameters in two of the four units to create a sound you really like, it is possible to

save that as a 2 Unit preset. Temporarily change the config type to 2 Source, save the 2 Unit

preset, then change back to a 1 Source config:

1. Press {EDIT}, then {CONFIG}.

2. Use the {<} button to scroll to the config type page (parameter 00).

3. Use the Data Entry Knob to change the config type to “2 Source Config.” The display will

momentarily show “Updating Config,” then change to a 2 source config.

4. Press Unit {A} or {C}, depending on which pair you want to save.

5. Press {WRITE}, and save the 2 Unit preset to one of the RAM locations as described earlier.

6. When the 2 Unit preset has been saved, press {EDIT}, then {CONFIG}, and change the config

type back to what it was originally.

You can use a variation on this procedure any time you want to save a preset that is of a type not

allowed by the current config.

Swapping 1 Unit Presets

1 Unit algorithms can be swapped around between units, when loaded into either Units A, B, C,

or D by using the following procedure:

1. Press {EDIT}, then {WRITE}.

2. Press a Unit button ({A}, {B}, {C}, or {D}) that you want to swap. The top line of the display

shows “Write to 1U Pset.”

3. While pressing and holding the same Unit button, press a Unit button that you want to swap

with the first one. The display looks like this:

Hit <WRITE> To

Swap Units A & B

i i i

Swap is flashing First Unit Selected Second Unit Selected

4. Press {WRITE} to swap the two selected units. The display says “Units Swapped!”

You can use this procedure any time you want to swap a 1 Unit Preset with another.
