Navigating Presets

There are two banks of presets in the Element/Element XP: the user preset bank and the factory
preset bank. From the factory, the user and factory preset banks will contain the same presets.
Therefore, factory preset 45 will be the same as user preset 45 and so on. User presets appear
in the LED display as
round-robin when navigating. In other words, navigating one preset above user preset

Editing Presets

The Element Series processors have been engineered to give you more options for shaping your
sounds. Of course you can navigate presets to find sounds which will get you started, and then
edit the effects from there to fine tune your sounds–this is standard operation when using effect
processors. But there is another layer of options available in the Element processors... Banks.
There are two Banks available: Tone Banks and FX Banks. Each of these Banks give you a library of
20 pre-set configurations, allowing you to quickly audition different "tones" without affecting your
"effects" chain or vice versa. Using this "coarse" and "fine" editing environment, you can quickly
experiment with many different sound-shaping options and go only as deep into editing as you
feel comfortable with.
