SAVING CHANGES
After making changes to a preset, you may want to save the results. Here’s how:
TO STORE A PRESET…
 Press STORE to show the STORE page.
 Press STORE again (or ENTER) to display “Do you want to overwrite the Preset?”
 Press ENTER again to conrm, or EXIT to cancel.
 The message “SAVED!” is shown when saving is complete.
Scene naming is a powerful capability. Aside from stating what a specic scene is intended for,
the names of un-used scenes can be used for short notes or reminders. Shorthand may help. For
example, a “slash” could indicate expression capability on an “External” controller:
“FB /1, Time /2” could show that Feedback is controlled by “External 1” and Mix by “External 2”.
What constitutes “making changes”? Obviously, parameter edits, but also changing the scene (see
Section 6: Scenes & Channels), and sometimes, when new rmware requires changes to be
made automatically, simply loading a preset can cause the edited light to turn on.
RESETTING A BLOCK/CHANNEL
Use RESET when you want a fresh start after making changes to a block.
 If it isn’t already open for editing, select the desired block on the grid and press EDIT.
 Press the RESET button (Push-knob D). You are prompted to reset the current channel.
 Press ENTER to conrm. You can reset other channels in a block as they are used.
Learn more about Channels in Section 6: Scenes & Channels.
