Presets
Presets are a quick way to queue up some core sounds
Ribbons is capable of. To enter the Presets Menu, hold
down the push button for 3 seconds. A single LED will
light up, and now you can toggle through 8 preset slots:
1, 2, 3, 4 are red, and 5, 6, 7, 8 are blue.
To load a preset, hover over a slot and press Touch.
The LEDs will all glow, and now you can hear the sounds
of that preset aecting your incoming audio.
Factory presets:
If you load up a preset and then press the push button
or turn a knob, you are back to editing tape eects
with that preset as the starting point. So if you’re
jamming with one preset and want to try out a dierent
one, you rst have to re-enter the Presets Menu.
To overwrite a preset with your current settings, enter
the menu and hover over the slot you want to use. Press
Bypass twice to conrm and save. To exit without
loading or saving, simply hold down the push button
again for 3 seconds.
Our online manual describes settings for each factory
preset. If you ever nd yourself wanting to restore them,
check out the factory reset option on page 29.
