MANAGE PRESETS

Blackbox stores a set of pad configurations, sequences and song scenes 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 most recently used
preset on this microSD card. The microSD card that comes with blackbox has about 60
presets and corresponding WAV files loaded.
When blackbox loads a preset, it loads the set of WAV files and configured parameters for
each pad, sequence and song scene saved in the preset. Review the loaded presets to see
some examples of blackbox features in action. The presets that are loaded 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.
Blackbox stores all of the preset xml files in sub-folders under the \Presets folder. Each
preset has its own sub-folder with the name of the preset, and a preset.xml file within
that sub-folder. E.g. the preset My Kickin Grooves will be stored as a file named preset.xml
in the \Presets\My Kickin Grooves folder. When you first start working with the preset, it
will point to the WAV files in their source folders. The Pack function will copy all of the
used WAV files into the preset folder.
When you create a new recording, blackbox stores it in the folder for that preset. For
example, the first new recording for the My Kickin Grooves preset will be saved as
\Presets\My Kickin Grooves\RC000001.wav.
