 Saving your Custom presets to the MAC
So you've created some great tones with your DEC, saved them to your own presets, and you want to back
them up or maybe share them with a friend. Well, to do this, we will dump a preset to the Macintosh from
the DEC and all of the preset parameters will be stored in a SysEx file. SysEx stands for System Exclusive
and is another file format used with the MIDI protocol that is device specific. A DEC SysEx file will only
work with another DEC.
 Saving presets using Fender Preset Editors
These applications can be used to modify, send, receive, load, modify and store Sysex file representations
of presets for your G-DEC®30 or B-DEC30 on your Mac. These applications handle both single presets
and preset dumps.
The B-DEC30 and G-DEC30 PC Preset Editors work similarly, though the pictures below are only for the
Mac version of the G-DEC30 Preset Editor. More detailed instructions can be found in the manuals
included in the zip file.
Start the Preset Editor by double clicking the .exe file. A screen similar to the one below (figure 19) will
appear.
