Manage Presets

Blackbox stores a set of pad configurations, sequences and song sections as a preset. You can save as many presets as you
want, as long as there is room for the files on your microSD card. When you turn on blackbox, it automatically loads the first
preset in the list alphabetically. The microSD card that comes with blackbox has about 60 presets and corresponding WAV
files preloaded.
When blackbox loads a preset, it loads the set of WAV files and configured parameters for each pad, sequence and song
section saved in the preset. Review the preloaded presets to see some examples of blackbox features in action. The presets
that are preloaded on blackbox use only a fraction of the WAV files that are available on the microSD card. You can use the
microSD card to load your own WAV files into blackbox, as well as record new ones. Blackbox also enables you to customize
and create your own presets.
Presets are saved on the microSD card when you choose to save them. If you load a different preset without first
saving the current preset, you will lose your work. If you change to a different microSD card, you will have a
different set of presets. When you switch to a different preset, all previous settings will be replaced with the settings of the
newly selected preset, which may be blank.
We covered how to create a new preset in To Create and Name a Preset above. We will cover more preset and WAV file
management tasks next.
Note:
Presets are not saved automatically in the background. This ensures that you don't make unintended changes to a
•
preset.
To Save Changes to a Preset:
By now you may have added a few pads to your preset and spent some time configuring
them. If you want to keep the results of your efforts, you will need to save the preset.
Blackbox does not automatically save changes as you work. If you change to a different
preset or unplug blackbox, you will lose your work. To save the preset:
1. Press PSET to display the Preset Management screen.
2. Touch File to display the Preset File Menu.
3. Touch Save to store your changes to the currently loaded preset.
To Load a Preset:
To switch to a different preset:
1. Press PSET to display the Preset Management screen.
2. Use the to scroll through the list of presets. The blue highlight indicates the currently selected preset.
3. Touch Load to load into blackbox the information that was previously saved for this preset. The only values that
are not stored in each preset are the values on the TOOLS pages. These are global settings that apply across
presets and are stored separately on the microSD card.
