Each section contains links to other relevant sections of this guide, which we recommend
reading, as well.
Presets
A preset is a saved collection of MIDI assignments for Code 61’s controls, channel settings,
keyboard zone settings, etc. You can store up to 12 presets in Code 61’s internal memory,
enabling you to use a dedicated preset for each digital audio workstation (DAW), virtual
instrument, or project/session, for example.
Learn more about managing presets in the Presets and Memory chapter.
To select a preset, use the Preset Down/Up () buttons. The current preset number will
appear in the display.
The available default presets are described in Appendix > Presets.
Important: If you power off your Code Series keyboard without saving your preset, you will
lose any assignments or changes you have made.
To store a preset:
1. Press Edit to enter Edit Mode. The button will light up.
2. Press the keyboard’s Store key. The display will show TO and the number of the last-
selected preset.
3. Use the numeric keys (0–9) or Preset Down/Up () buttons to enter the desired preset
number (00–12).
4. Press the Enter key. The current settings will be stored as a preset. This will overwrite that
preset.
