2.4 Programming a preset
Programming a preset is as simple as it can get. Once you have found
your favorite settings, those exact settings for every single knob and switch
(except the Master Volume) can be stored into a preset with the Store
button. This is pretty much like playing an amp with 128 channels, each
with its own Gain, Volume, EQ and even effects settings.
Storing settings by overwriting the currently selected preset
An easy way to store edited settings is to simply overwrite the most recently
selected preset. To do this, press and hold the Store button for about two
seconds until its light flashes briefly and then extinguishes. The Channel
LED (see chapter 3 "Channel Section") also flashes to confirm the write
operation. Release the Store button, and your settings will be stored.
Storing settings by selecting a new memory slot
If you do not wish to overwrite the current preset, you can easily select a
new memory slot instead. In this case, rather than holding the Store button
down for two seconds, press it briefly and then release it. Its light stays
on to signify that Black Spirit 200 is primed and ready to receive a MIDI
program change to define a memory slot.
• From the FSM-432: Select a MIDI bank from 1 to 32 on the FSM-432. The
bank number in the display flashes to signify that the FSM-432 is waiting
for input via one of the four preset buttons A to D. Then engage preset
button A, B, C, or D. The display stops flashing, the light on the Store
button extinguishes, and the preset is stored.
• From any other MIDI device: as soon a program change is sent, the
preset will be stored and can be recalled just by sending that program
change again.
Reading out stored knob settings
When you select a preset, the individual knobs' actual positions may not
represent their stored values. But it is easy enough to read the information
out: select a preset, grab the knob of your choice and twist it to the left or
right until the Store button lights up. Now the knob's position matches the
setting stored in the preset.
2.5 The Black Spirit Remote App for iPad
All controls and buttons on the Black Spirit 200 are MIDI-enabled, so we
programmed an App for iPad that makes the most of MIDI to extend the
amp's capabilities.
This App lets you:
• Give every preset a unique name
• Visually monitor all parameters in real time
• Remotely control all parameters in real time
• Save presets in the App
• Download and upload presets to and from the amp
• Share presets via e-mail or message
• Create and organise preset lists
The free App is available from the Apple App Store and connects to Black
Spirit 200 via Bluetooth (see chapter 7 "Bluetooth").
