Preset Creation: A Summary

Preset creation is an easy process involving the use of the program controls shown in the KEYBOARD LAYOUT section of this
manual.
You start by choosing a preset number using the DE knob and hitting the ENTER button. Choose a preset number higher
than 3 so as not to overwrite the software presets. You can either choose an unused number or overwrite a previously
written preset.
Once the preset number is selected, you hit the EDIT button to start assigning tasks to whichever controls you select. The LCD
panel will tell you to Press or Move Any Controls. You may move or press a knob, a slider, a button, a keyboard key or a
pedal.
The LCD will tell you what you are programming once you have moved or pressed it.
Now, you will use the Page Up or Down buttons to view the parameters available for assignment. Use the DE knob to select
the parameter value you want.
When the value is selected, use the Page Up or Down buttons to move to the next parameter. When all parameters for the
control have been defined, you will hit the STORAGE button and the LCD will ask if you want to store the parameters you have
selected – either NO or YES.
Use the buttons underneath YES or NO to make your choice.
If you need to program additional controls for the preset, hit the EDIT button and once again you will be asked to Press or Move
Any Controls. Repeat the procedure above for all the controls you desire to program for the preset you are creating.
When all the controls have been assigned to the tasks you want them to accomplish, you will have hit the STORAGE button
and selected YES following the programming of the last control. The LCD screen will display a blinking cursor following Preset
Num. At this time, you may name your preset (see the Preset Naming section on page 7) or decide to use only the number of
the preset (4 – 30). If the number is enough, hit STORAGE again and the LCD will ask "Are You Sure?" Press the button under
YES and the controller will return you to the Preset page with your preset number.
If you decide to name the preset, follow the procedure in the Preset Naming section on page 7. The last step is hitting the
STORAGE button at which time the LCD will ask, "Are You Sure?" Press the button under YES and the controller will return you
to the Preset page with your preset name and number.
It is essential that you remember that YOU MUST PRESS THE STORAGE BUTTON TWICE TO SAVE YOUR PRESET SETTINGS! The
first time you will be asked if you want to "Store Parameters."
The all-important second time, the LCD will ask, "Are You Sure?" When you hit the YES button that time, your preset is saved.
The following Procedures will help familiarize you with the programming flexibility of the VMK-149/188.
They will show you the steps involved in assigning parameter values to the programmable controls of the keyboard. The pro-
cedures will show the ease with which you can create presets to control both studio and performance software.
