4 PRESETS & PRESET MODE
An MFC-101 preset is a set of pre-programmed MIDI instructions, able to be loaded from a Preset footswitch and
sent to your connected device(s).
PRESET MODE provides a straightforward, logically organized way of accessing Presets. It is based on their ordered
arrangement into BANKS, which are selected using the UP and DOWN footswitches.

4.1 Bank Size

The MFC-101 defaults to operating in PRESET MODE with a "Bank Size" of 5. This means that the first 5
footswitches load Presets, while UP and DOWN step through Banks, each of which contains the next 5 presets
in numerical order (000-004, 005-009, etc.). Bank Size sets the number of preset footswitches per bank—to 1, 5,
10 or 15— while IA switches (see Chapter 5) fill out the remainder of numbered footswitches.
To change the global Bank Size:
1. Press EDIT footswitch to enter EDIT MODE.
2. Press SETUP footswitch to select the SETUP menu.
Press PAGE 6x to get to the Bank Size Screen:
3. Press the UP and DOWN footswitches to set the desired value.
4. Press EXIT to return to PERFORMANCE MODE.
NOTE: The total number of presets is not evenly divisible by all bank sizes, leaving unused spaces in the last bank.
Pressing a footswitch in the extra space at the end of the last bank will do nothing.
Bank Size is global, meaning it also governs the layout in SONG MODE and SET MODE (See SONGS & SETS on p. 30
for more on these modes and their features).
