that have been modified are considered by the system to be "user" presets and therefore
must be saved as a new name and in a new preset storage slot.
Our advice is to start with a factory preset that has the on air sound that is closest
to what you believe you need. If changes are necessary, the best approach is to make
small changes, one or two at a time, and then listen for quite a while before deciding
that more changes are necessary. A consultant friend of ours advises: "Tweak small
and then listen large."
NOTE:
User presets that have been stored in preset slots 1 through 8 are logically assigned
to the eight remote GPI functions. Examples of presets that might be stored here are:
‑ A preset that has all processing turned off and/or has special input/output level
calibrations (such as for testing).
‑ A preset that has all processing enabled but has the Stereo Pilot turned off (a Mono
Preset).
‑ A preset that changes the input or output source or level calibrations (note: "System
Settings Change with Preset Takes" must be enabled in the System screen of the
GUI in order for presets to control I/O settings.
Preset storage is as follows:
‑ Preset slots 1 ‑ 8 are for user presets that can be selected by the optoisolated GPI
interface.
‑ Factory presets are installed beginning with a BYPASS stored in slot #9. Factory
presets cannot be written over or deleted.
‑ User presets, other than the GPI selectable presets in slots 1 through 8, are stored
above the highest‑numbered factory preset. The number of available slots for user
presets depends on how many factory presets were installed, which can vary with
software version. The total number of presets on the processor's hardware cannot
exceed eighty (80). The storage space available for presets on the GUI's host PC
(because of a preset's tiny file size) is virtually unlimited.
‑ User presets may be locked at the user's discretion to prevent inadvertent changes.
Any user can unlock user‑locked presets.
