Presets To Save And Recall Maps - DigiDesign Command 8 Manual

Programming Switches
The 24 switches in the fader section that can be
custom mapped in Standalone mode include
the channel Select, Solo, and Mute switches.
The eight Channel View switches across the top
of the channel strips are also available, but are
permanently configured to CC 121–127 (left-to-
right). In addition, the Transport switches are
permanently configured to MMC (MIDI Ma-
chine Control) transport command assign-
ments.
Presets to Save and Recall
Maps
Presets are snapshots of MIDI mapping assign-
ments that can be saved and recalled.
You can store up to eight presets to save custom
mapping and MIDI channel assignment for a
variety of devices, with custom names. Presets
can be recalled at any time to instantly switch to
a different device mapping.

In stand-alone mode, press F3 PRE MIDI Re-

through available presets, and stop when the de-
sired preset name is displayed.
To select the displayed preset, press the chan-

(Command|8 warns you to save any
changed presets if you leave Stand-alone

presets as you edit them). See "Saving Com-
mand|8 Presets" on page 51.
Saving Command|8 Presets
Command|8 presets can be saved to flash mem-
ory to save custom mapping of programmable
controls, custom names, and all other parame-
ters associated with all eight presets.
Command|8 presets can also be stored

presets through MIDI, see "Loading and Saving
Presets with SysEx" on page 52.)
Command|8 asks you to confirm that you

want to save the currently displayed preset to
flash memory (replacing and updating any pre-
viously stored preset in flash memory).
To confirm and save, press the channel 7 Se-
5
lect switch (Okay). To cancel without saving,
