4 PRESETS & PRESET MODE
An MFC-­‐101 preset is a set of pre-­‐programmed MIDI instructions, loaded by a Preset footswitch and sent to your
connected device(s). PRESET MODE provides a straightforward, logically organized way of accessing Presets. It is
based on their ordered arrangement into BANKS, which are selected using the UP and DOWN footswitches.
4.1 Bank Size
Bank Size determines how many footswitches will recall Presets and how many will control Instant Access
Switches (see Chapter 5). The MFC-­‐101 defaults to a Bank Size of 5. This means that the first 5 footswitches load
Presets while 6-­‐17 operate as Instant Access Switches. UP and DOWN step through Banks, each of which contains
the next 5 presets in numerical order (000-­‐004, 005-­‐009, etc.). Another way to see things is that Bank Size sets the
number of preset footswitches per bank—any number from 0 to 17.
To change the global Bank Size:
1. Press EDIT footswitch to enter EDIT MODE.
2. Press SETUP footswitch to select the SETUP menu.
Press PAGE" 6x to get to the Bank Size Screen:
3. Press the UP and DOWN footswitches to set the desired value.
4. Press EXIT to return to PERFORMANCE MODE.
NOTES: Selecting 0 or 1 for bank size will cause one preset to load automatically as each bank is selected.
The total number of presets is not evenly divisible by all bank sizes, leaving unused spaces in the last bank. Pressing
a footswitch in the extra space at the end of the last bank will do nothing.
Bank Size is global, meaning it also governs the layout in SONG MODE and SET MODE (See SONGS & SETS on p. 37
for more on these modes and their features).
