PRESET MODE

What is a Preset?
A Preset is a collection of information about how the MPD32's faders,
knobs and pads will behave. Using Presets allows you to save different
configurations so you can quickly load them when you need them, without
having to reprogram the MPD32 every time.
The MPD32 features different Preset banks which you can load and write to. When you turn on the MPD32,
it will automatically go into Preset Mode and Preset 1 will be displayed on the screen. You can also press
the [PRESET] button at any time to call up this mode. In Preset Mode you can load, save/copy and rename
Presets – each of these functions can be accessed through the 3 different pages. You can navigate between
these pages with the [<] and [>] buttons.
